UKIP report BBC to the police over a joke

Nigel must be running scared if he can't take a joke as feeble as the one in question. All politicians are subject to jokes by comedians - Cameron, Miliband, etc included, but they dont go running to the police. This from the Huffington Post:
Ukip has "declared war on the BBC" after a journalist made a joke about leader Nigel Farage on Have I Got News For You on Tuesday.
When asked about Farage's chances in South Thanet, Sunday Times columnist Camilla Long said: "I went there more than Nigel Farage. By the time I arrived there he’d only been a few times."
Party officials issued a complaint to Kent Police after Tuesday's broadcast, saying the BBC had breached Section 106 of the Representation of the People Act, hampering Farage's chances of election in the constituency.
The constabulary said they had no intention of following up the claims, prompting the party to threaten further action.
A leading Ukip official said they were now "at war with the BBC" and planned to report the corporation to Scotland Yard.
