I'm quoting from the article in the New Statesman(the most well known left-wing magazine in the UK) you linked to.
Islamophobia
“On the question of Islamification,” said Farage during a well-received speech, “we have to do a bit more to teach our children of the values of our Judeo-Christian society.” He proceeded to note that at least 20 police forces are turning a blind eye to the operation of Sharia Law and expressed admiration for countries which say: “You’re welcome to come here and to have your children here… but if you’re coming here to take us over, you’re not welcome.”
A recent manifesto commitment to "tackle extremist Islam by banning the burqa or veiled niqab in public buildings and certain private buildings" was further explained by Farage: "I can't go into a bank with a motorcycle helmet on. I can't wear a balaclava going round the District and Circle line.”
Finally, Ukip peer Lord Pearson put it unequivocally. "The Muslims are breeding ten times faster than us," he said. "I don't know at what point they reach such a number we are no longer able to resist the rest of their demands."
I agree with Farage that,for security reasons, it should be illegal to wear a face veil like a burkha or nikhab ,while in , a bank ,post office or court of law. And this is far milder than the recent French ban on the wearing of burkinis on the beach.
As for the misogyny and homophobia stuff they are just smears
Homophobia
Ousted MEP Nikki Sinclaire, who came out as a lesbian, won a sexual discrimination case against UKIP after refusing to sit with its homophobic allies in the European parliament.
On a private members’ forum, senior UKIP member and former parliamentary candidate Dr Julia Gasper claimed some homosexuals prefer sex with animals. The Mirror reported her as saying: “As for the links between homosexuality and paedophilia, there is so much evidence that even a full-length book could hardly do justice to the subject.” (Ironically, UKIP General Secretary Jonathan Arnott had banned a discussion on the site on gay issues, because he feared that someone “is going to screenshoot comments and send them to a newspaper”.) She was sacked.
More recently a UKIP Croydon North candidate tweeted: "A caring loving home is a heterosexual or single family. I don't believe (a gay couple) is healthy for a child." He did so, after retweeting an article written by a National Front supporter who claimed there was "no such thing as homophobia". He was sacked.
However, Olly Neville, the former UKIP Youth Chairman, was also sacked for supporting same-sex marriage. Sack them all, as long as we don’t have to talk about it, seems to be the policy
Yeah there was falling out between the UKIP and its first transsexual Member of the European Parliament.
The ostensible reason is UKIP's alliance with gay-unfriendly parties in the European parliament. But there were fraud allegations.
Miss Sinclaire was arrested in Feb 2012 by West Midlands Police on suspicion of defrauding European parliamentary allowances and expenses. She denies the allegations.

But UKIP has been mostly a single issue party,devoted to taking Britain out of the EU .So it's best to keep a united front ,with other Eurosceptc parties in the EU.
Farage did however shun the support of Marine Le Pen,leader of the National Front,in France during the Brexit referendum, So even he finds it sometimes prudent to distance himself and his cause from polarising figures on the right.
Misogyny
Ukip’s only female MEP (after the expulsion of Nikki Sinclaire) Marta Andreasen, recently threatened to leave the party, labelling Farage as an “anti-women Stalinist dictator” whose view is that “women should be in the kitchen or in the bedroom”.
This came as no surprise. His grasp of sexual politics has always been tenuous at best. As he explained in a Telegraph interview: “Lap dancing? Don’t have the time these days, but I used to go to them. Like it or not, they are a fact of life. You are talking about normal behaviour there. Everyone does it.” Then, asked about extra-marital affairs, he conceded: “Well, we’re all human. There is a big difference between that sort of thing and being really bad.”
When Godfrey Bloom MEP, infamous for making a speech in the European Parliament – one of his better ones – while heavily intoxicated, said that “no employer with a brain in the right place would employ a young, single, free woman”, Farage’s reaction was “Dear old Godders! Godfrey's comment [as above] has been proved so right.”
Yeah,(allegedly) this is his ex-mistress
Only in that there is a lot of white nationalism in the US Libertarian party
True .True. And UKIP,when it was tiny band of true-believers with a deeply unfashionable message, rubbed shoulders for years with various unsavoury fringe elements of the right-wing.
Farage himself is more British nationalist than white one He feels Britain should deepen the with the forme subjects of the British Empire,with whom Britain shares cultural and historic ties.
Asked by presenter Evan Davis whether he would favour immigrants from some countries over others, he said: “I have to confess I do have a slight preference. I do think, naturally, that people from India and Australia are in some ways more likely to speak English, understand common law and have a connection with this country than some people that come perhaps from countries that haven’t fully recovered from being behind the iron curtain.”
In the past, Farage has always claimed to be the only party leader with a “non-discriminatory” policy on immigration as Ukip would not give preference to EU migrants over those from the rest of the world. Last year, he told LBC: “I actually want us to have an immigration policy that is non-discriminatory, because at the moment we discriminate in favour of people from Poland, or Romania, or Bulgaria, regardless [of] who they are, and we discriminate against people from New Zealand … or from India, or Canada, or whatever else it may be. We’ve got our, I think, our priorities completely wrong here. And we should not be discriminating on grounds of nationality.”
