Nigel Farage today told a heckler 'you need a haircut, mate' as protesters interrupted Reform UK's conference in Scotland.
As the demonstrator was taken out of the event in Renfrewshire on Thursday afternoon, Mr Farage shouted after them: 'Oh have a look - you need a haircut, mate.
'You need a haircut, yeah you do. Wow. Go back to work. No, sorry, you haven't got a job, have you?
'Well, there you are, those that don't work have plenty of time to come and protest don't they?'
It came ahead of a speech in which Mr Farage predicted Reform will become the official opposition at Holyrood after the Scottish Parliament elections.
Appearing alongside Reform's Scottish leader Malcolm Offord, who defected from the Tories last year, Mr Farage helped launch his party's manifesto for the 7 May contest.
He accused Reform's opponents in Scotland of having 'Offord derangement syndrome' in a reference to the 'Trump derangement syndrome' attack used by some supporters of the US President.
'Scottish politics up until this point has been very, very hostile to any other voice,' Mr Farage said.

The Reform leader added: 'They may go on being hostile to our voice but you know something now, they can't stop us.
'And I'll be here with you repeatedly, supporting our candidates, supporting Malcolm, supporting this campaign, between now and May 7.'
As Mr Trump's war in Iran continues to push up global oil and gas prices, Mr Farage blamed the UK's high energy costs on the 'lunacy' of shutting down new oil and gas fields in the North Sea.
Railing against Net Zero, the Reform leader said the UK was 'committing economic harakiri in the name of saving the planet'.
Speaking about other political parties, he said: 'They all agree on Net Zero. They all agree on their own great virtues.'
'Well, we agree in opening up the North Sea, getting Scotland working again, getting Scotland cheaper energy.'
'And you know what, after this election... we're the only ones that will deliver good, plain, common sense and a better way of life to everybody.'
Lord Offord, a former Conservative minister who quit the House of Lords in order to stand in this year's Holyrood elections, said Scotland had to 'rebalance' its economy.
He said too many Scots were on welfare and suggested that half a million people on social security should be in employment.
Lord Offord added he would cut taxes in Scotland to make them lower than England's, at a cost of £2 billion, without any cuts to frontline services.
He said Scotland would have the most competitive tax regime in the UK under a Reform government.
The millionaire businessman told the event he wanted to use the 'drive and ambition' he had in his personal life to make Scotland a success.
