Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura
You had me at "Farage should never be interviewed"
Yep.
Just like the thought, England is partly responsible for establishing the nation of Israel.
But the French are party responsible for Syria. Even more embarrassing.
England, France, and Soviet Union are the thieves who established Israel with stolen Palestinian land. They had no authority.
It's such an obvious news generator that every ambitious news hound should be driving in the wedge of Farage's Brexit Failure.
Strange how little is broadcast about the Reform Party now that it controls some councils. It's as if the BBC wants to avoid the reality of Reform, eg an 18-year-old running the Council, which would be front and centre news if it had been Labour or even Lib-Dem or Tory. youtu.be/jVo8p_6xXkA?...
but they desperately dont want 16 and 17 year olds to vote… but an 18 year old is fine- because…… at 18 someone flicks a switch and you become critically and emotionally mature overnight ?
Lying in politics should be a criminal offence.
We don't have any proper investigative journalists anymore, the press is controlled by offshore right wing individuals, Tory placements in the BBC editorial department, interviewers are dumb and don't pick up or challenge the interviewee. Imagine if Farage faced Brian Walden! He'd run a mile.
Or David Frost, Robin Day, Paxo. They don't make interviewers like that any more. Mind you, David Frost's son Wilfred on Sky is not afraid to challenge. He falls apart if he's challenged.
I worry more that a huge section of the voters are more than willing to not only listen to this man, but believe what he says when he lies all the time. Yeah he is a Poundland Trump, but Trump was voted in, and look how that's going. How can people be this gullible?
When he says that this isn't his Brexit, he should be asked to spell out exactly what his Brexit was supposed to look like. Not just some waffle about freedoms from supposed foreign control... especially since he actually seems to want certain foreign interference.
Less immigration Stopping illegal immigration Closer ties with America and the Anglosphere Stronger law enforcement Those kind of things I imagine I'm a Labour Party member but can see why he's going to pick up votes with that kind of message If we don't tackle immigration I'm sure he will win
His Brexit is warm beer for pennies a pint, smoking in pubs and restaurants and the streets of London looking like the set of Passport to Pimlico.
Yes that's part of the image he wants people to have but he, himself, needs to explain the detail and be pushed to to so. Halcyon days, doesn't wash.
He is on because the media love to build up a third force illusion (see the SDP) circus the media created. They will carry on through the summer little understanding the instability this ape dependant is doing !
Article 1 of the BBC charter. 'Kid gloves with Nigel Farage at all times.'
Farage shouldn't be interviewed unless he does something other than braying. If broadcasters really need to have him on their programmes, how about actually calling him to account: - dissecting his actions & alliances - analysing his past speeches - investigating his earnings & work as an MP?
Farage isn't responsible for the failures of Brexit. Yes, he was the driving force, but the failures are the responsibility of the 🤡 that implemented it, and the millions who voted to let him do it. What happened was not Farage, it was voters. And, the media still gives him, 'talk bollocks time'.
Brexit was clearly doomed to be a failure. How much of a failure depended maybe on how hard 'the Brexit' was, and that can be discussed - but as the driving force, Farage is also largely responsible for its inevitable (and ongoing) failure.
Brexit was never meant to work. it was a trojan horse to disrupt the EU, put UK into oblivion and make corporations more powerful like the oils industry. Same is happening to US- will get broken up so that corps can run it in the guise of a looser federation- provide nothing & Fed power mixed
Perhaps. But then that would mean it did work 😊 Just not for those who voted to implement it. But then, they'd all had, had enough of experts.
Populists never admit any mistake. It's part and parcel of their modus operandi.
This side of the Atlantic also, at least Farage is not in charge,gotta keep it that way.
What a sicko depraved country the UK turned out to be. Vile place no ?
He's on BiBiC yet again this morning spouting lies and BS like always i am sure .
He should never be interviewed without some forensic examination of every hare-brained policy. The real danger is that he is allowed to spout about "reindustrialising", and whatever populist air-politics he practised in his mirror this morning, without being asked how he intends to implement it.
Don't tell me they had him on again this morning. Did they?
So we'll said
The problem is his answer will always be that the implementation of brexit by other people was a failure - until interviewers can repeatedly skewer him on what he would actually have done and simply communicate why that wouldn't have worked, he's got a get out of jail free card every single time
I'm waiting for it on iPlayer. What I'm particularly keen to see is whether he's questioned on his green energy opinions in the context of the fossil fuel industry's funding of Reform. If she does, fine, that is journalism 101, it simply tells us she's not utterly useless at her job. If not...
... and she didn't. Kuenssberg failed her journalism 101. Unfortunately, she's not alone.
Surely you don't expect #lickspittlelaura to actually challenge the extreme right? That's never going to happen.
It can only happen in a place where the fourth power has lost its financial independence and thus all credibility. Media have progressively been bought over forty years and social networks competition makes it impossible to propose new and healthy ones. Nigel Garbage can say absolutely anything.
I'm thinking that xenophobe Nick Ferrari and that bigot/bully Iain Dale.... @ youtu.be/2vfJPk8isQQ?...
Kuenssberg is appalling. Time for change at the BBC.
Says the lying politician who demands people not fly but flysacross the Atlantic at the drop of a hat
He should never be interviewed until hell runs dry.
I was with you for the first five words.
This post only needed to be 5 words long.
Correct.
And every time he is introduced they should highlight he’s a form finance trader NOT working class !
Russia. Their best espionage was Krasnov. The second best was Brexit.
Ah yes. Tim Davie, BBC director-general. Failed Conservative politician now pandering to the tunnel visioned racist Reform voter. The BBC endlessly promoted Farage years ago, now they want him in power.
Fast forward a few days & BBC Politics falls short (again) refraining from basic fact-checking or critical analysis. Just soundbite replies from Lab & Tory HQs. Not good enough.
He's been asked this many times before & he always comes up with the line that Brexit was a great idea that others screwed up & bizarrely, there are enough people who buy this snake oil, like there were people who bought into it the Brexit lie in the first place, simply from his 'authoritative' tone
> Brexit was a great idea that others screwed up Let's not forget he stood down candidates and told people to vote for the Conservatives because they would deliver Brexit. And then complains that it's everyone else's fault
Absolutely!
I know.
If this had been exactly the same situation, but with Putin vs an anti-Putin dissident, surely everyone would immediately conclude it wasn’t coincidence? #StopFascism bsky.app/profile/snia...
The BBC, as well as Sky, ITV, and all other news channels are all in it together, they won't do anything that benefits the people. They're all Tory.
...& nows he's bleating about leaving the ECHR without ever being pulled up on what a disaster it would be for all but his very wealthy chums.
It’s driven me round the bend since 2016. As an economist I saw Brexit as a mad idea. Still trying to push Rejoin. Our current petition could use a push if you want to help. Tell our Government we want to 'Rejoin not reset' please sign and share petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...
There needs to be a law passed that makes it a criminal offence for politicians and officials (police officers, civil service workers, etc) to lie. There's always been a political spin. I accept that. However, Farage has lowered the bar in the UK to the point where Reform, Tory & Labour...
have no issue is just making stuff up and trying to pass it off as fact.Which for the largely politically illiterate English population is going to lead to them f*cking Scotland over again as they will believe Farages lies - partly due to xenophobia & racism-& they'll elect him PM. Independence now
Trouble is these shits now don't do interviews where they get asked anything not on message.....look at the Tories and GMB..... I moan but I don't have a solution.
Blagger. Poundland Trump
If Donald Trump is finally exposed as a paedophile by the Epstein files, I'm sure Nigel will be very happy for people to keep sharing this.
Why is he all over the BBC unchallenged. This is not what I am paying for? Can I get a discount every time he opens his mouth with a lie?
Gettin totally fed up with BBC - organisation I have admired. I’m finding it hard to trust them. As for LK programme - words fail
QT did it for me. Blatant bias, and Fiona Bruce letting people like Farage off the hook week after week. Can no longer be considered a reliable source of information.
Somehow the BBC seems less than it was. Look what they did to Newsnight!!
The problem is, Farage will stand there and proclaim the success of Brexit, and there's a sizeable number of his supporters who can't think for themselves...
For sizeable, do you mean 100%?
Pretty much
He should also always be asked about his support for Trump. Trump only ran for the second to get the ultimate stay out of jail card and since taking office has used his power to systematically wage war on democracy. Is Nigel Farage fine with all that? Is this how Farage would govern if PM?
In answer to your questions, respectively: yes and yes, but even more so, because we have no guns.
The problem is, the people doing the interviewing work for the news media, and the news media are owned by billionaires, and billionaires want a Farage government to dismantle the regulatory régime that protects us all from their excesses. There is a lot of rot to be cut out.
Never going to be done by the BBC and certainly not by the right wing Tory stooge interviewing. There has never been a more biased interviewer
He'll just claim it hasn't been done properly due to remoaners. He really needs to never be platformed without being questioned in his links to Russia and his bankrolling by fossil fuels.
Farridge is beyond the pale. Only morons listen to him, but what worries me is that Britain has a lot of morons. And he somehow appeals to them. We need to kill morons.
Hasn’t he been pushing what looks like baseless accusations about Afghan’s this week, that seem to be steeped in stereotyping?
There was a disgraceful slur on Afghans on radio 5 by some political commentator just before pmqs last week.
If you ask Farage supporters what they see in him, they will likely say "he tells it like it is". What they mean by that is, "he holds the same rascist views that I do". The young Farage was hugely impressed by the rascist speeches of Enoch Powell, and maintains those views today.
Apparently he’s going to cut crime by 50% - I think that counts as an admission of guilt!
Why is it that smart people can easily figure out liars? And yet some people catch up years later, while others remain with their heads buried in the sand . We have same in Nigeria he is called @PeterObi
Yeah but this is Laura youtu.be/l85CNs25m54?...
Hes so called 50 % water nationalisation is a joke. Want would happen after the half was improved, hed get his City mates to sell it back to us.
A significant section of the English working class seem to be mesmerised by lazy; arrogant posh boys. First Johnson now Farage. It's a joke that they have any kind of political career at all. The poster boys of how the elites always fail upwards, despite their total lack of talent or application.
A significant % of people aspire to be rich and idle, without any merit or previous hard work. We're in the UK not only don't want meritocracy, we constantly glamourise the opposite of it. I guess we can thank our political and education system for that. You can't really blame media.
You can if they promote it & they do. The cult of celebrity glamourised & promoted by the press ‘national treasures’ 🤮 the shock when people like Harris are finally exposed, is very much down to our media, TV. Farage on QT so often, LK soft soaping Johnson. Press owned by billionaires in tax havens
All the media antics would mean nothing if our education system didn't actively promote political ignorance and if political system wasn't based on chummery. Don't blame billionaires for failing of BBC. Their management is appointed by UKG.
Only because we let them. We need to reverse Thatcherism .
Absobloodylutey, plus we shld never forget the #FarageRiots
How many MPs do ReformUK have! And how much coverage do they get! You could see LK positively salivating with him seated alongside mainstream parties yesterday! The SMP rep had him pegged right!
After the Brexit lies and Truss budget comment he should have Zero political credibility……but I still get told what a great speaker and compelling politician he is.
See I don’t get that at all. Pretending to be an average bloke, when he’s a wealthy man, it appears, his hectoring of people who don’t agree. He’s rude, abrupt, arrogant, mendacious & sneering, in my opinion.
I think it comes down to what you “want” to hear….
Exactly. No clear or costed policies. A touring Pick n' Mix vendor of elusive "ambitions" or "hopes" which remain absent from any binding documents. That's why Brexit was never clear on what it was. All founded on rumour and thoughts.
Every time Blair or Campbell is on the BBC they get asked about Iraq. The same should be true about Fartface and Brexit. But really he shouldn't be on the BBC at all. Anyone who has been shown to be such a consistent liar should not be given the courtesy of being asked his opinion. 3 strikes &out
Farage I understand as appalling as he is. Laura? Not in a million years. There’s no journalism left in her since the Boris interview.
... and when he tries to wriggle out of questioning with the usual 'well, REAL Brexit was never really tried...' excuse, interviewers need to pin him down on how in the holy hell he thinks making Brexit even harder would have made things any better.
It’s an outage Farage gets ANY airtime, let alone more than everybody else. But it’s all made even worse by his ridiculousness going unchallenged.
Caroline, you really should seriously consider returning to front line politics.
Blame Cameron - the referendum was his idea.
The super rich are just thrashing around in the face of the failure of neoliberalism. This is what the grovelling media reflects.
Check his Russian bank accounts while you’re at it.
He won’t go on @mrjamesob.bsky.social show.He got coated so badly the last time he went on his minders dragged him away
OMG - over on the hellsite: the responses 😱😱 The new take is now that Farage had nothing to do with Brexit 😱😱 @mrjamesob.bsky.social I think we are done with compassion for the conned...
Let's add Hannan in there. And David Davis. And every other person that openly lied on TV about how easy it would be, "ready made deals" and the like
He's a Russian asset. We need to be talking about his links to the Kremlin. I also believe Laura to be linked to Putin.
Laura the Reformer is a Brexit believer - she is never going to challenge him on this - but nice to see she’s moved on from her Boris obsession.
LK wouldn’t dare to go near the ‘Brexit’ debacle, we have to remember the BBC have been directed to be favourable to Reform in what is an increasingly rigged media
👆This!
Farage : "The British public knew what they voted for" [The reality of Brexit hits] Farage's excuse : "This isn't the Brexit we voted for" 🤷
I'm afraid the right wing Tories on the BBC board and in News and Affairs love him, they couldn't care less about the harm he's done and will do to Britain. Unfortunately whilst the Tories still control the board and editorial output he will always get undeserved airspace.
Correct. And v short-sighted of them too, given that Farage is no fan of the BBC and in all likelihood would end its funding model.
They'll have no qualms about ruining the BBC. Their gold plated pensions are guaranteed and they'll be feted by the extreme right for the relentless easy ride they give the foul fascist. In fact John McAndrew, Director of BBC News programmes is an old colleague of Nigel's from his GB News days.
The way to tackle Farage is to give him a lot more airtime. Then to put up against him interviewers who will ask the questions. Where are the Paxmans? Get him on the run, time after time, hound him with the truth and questions that expose him. He’s a soft target for hard interviewers.
Well the BBC can be guaranteed to do that but his friends on the board, ex GB News colleagues now in charge of BBC News programmes and his chums at Mentorn Media that produce Question Time will make sure that he continues to get an easy ride and his massive hypocrisy and lies are never challenged.
Why was he asked in the first place? No opinion sought from the Tories, the Lib Dems or the Greens all who have more seats in parliament or in the case of the Greens, far better informed.
The BBC hail her as some political heavyweight interviewer when actually her show is a joke, in a time when all politicians of all colours should be scrutinised and drilled down on regarding their policies this is not something you’ll get on LK’s show, the show is weak and pointless
What's the similarity between nigel Führage and a bicycle pump? When pressed, nothing but hot air comes out.
he's one of the worst whirlwind politicians. Makes a huge mess and a scary sound to those who know what it means. He then quickly moves on and abandons those whose lives have been adversely affected.
The BBC selecting its narrative as per ...
He is only out for himself. Paints himself as the ‘man of the people’…what a laugh…
He should also be asked constantly about why such an anti-EU "patriot" choses to live in Brussels and commute to the country he claims to support.
But Europeans have awoken to the fascist nature of the EU It's about time our political 'leaders' did the same
Th first commissioner of th original EEC was the same guy who negotiated the surrender terms of countries overrun by the Wermacht in ww2. & The EEC's founding document: the Treaty of Rome, was written by David Rothschild AFTER the original signatories had signed it. The EU was created by fascists
How about 'should never be interviewed'? Give us a break. Whatever the papers say, this party is doomed to failure and has a tiny representation in the Commons.
She was probably scared of being slapped about by him. He has form.
But he'll just blame everyone else... "It wasn't implemented properly" "The deal negotiated was garbage" "The UK failed to take advantage of Brexit freedoms" Etc, etc... Just like Trump, he'll take credit for everything and the blame for nothing.
Nothing Farage says would stand up to proper scrutiny, but very few interviewers are really challenging his simplistic ideas on the critical issues.
I will always remember Liz Truss as the person who provoked King Charles to remark "Back again? Dear, oh, dear."
Absolutely agree 200%
Farage should always be asked about Brexit. Mandelson should always be asked about Epstein. Cummings should always be asked about those years he lived in Russia. Johnson should be asked about being a serial absent father (among many many other things)
Matiliss should always be asked about that Corbyn newsnight backdrop. Kuenssberg should always be asked about this...
Prime Minister Mr Mark Carney said that if Britain leaves the EU. Their influence in Europe would diminish. It did. And the Glorious £ would devalue. It has. 23rd June 2016.£=€1:45 1st August 2025 £=€1:15. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
And JRM. Should be asked WHY taxes were Never reduced after Leaving the EU28. He had said repeatedly that the EU wouldn't allow an Independent Sovereign Member State reduced their Taxes. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
Agree. Blair about Iraq and sexed up documents. Starmer about Labour Friends of Israel. I think that maybe John Major was the only decent leader during my lifetime (was only young so might have missed things)
My sentiments exactly!!
Johnson lied to get brexit over the line.
Also he should be told at the start of every interview that we will not be discussing immigration as we already know your views on that.
No, at the start of every interview he should be told that it will start with an enquiry into who bankrolls him and will not progress unless he produces tangible evidence that he isn't the asset of a hostile power. That way, he'd avoid the media so much he might even find time to visit Clacton.
On LK yesterday not only did he not know about massive pay increases he also thought it was all very funny. As I heard a guy say, “Voting reform will fuck you up!” He said the chances of getting sucked into wild conspiracy theories and the like are high and that spiral leads down down down.
I am amazed that no interviewer has yet pointed out:- 1. Campaigned for Brexit (for years) without any plan as to how to implement it (falling back onto WTO rules, which isn't a plan, it's giving up) 2. Now campaigns for leaving ECHR without any plan for resolving the Good Friday Agreement issue
And don't forget that he and his Brexity Fuckwits were all chanting 'Let's go WTO', at the very same time that his 'best Mate' Donald Trump was campaigning for the DESTRUCTION of the WTO ... !
...(opening up the risk of the return of The Troubles) 3. Now advocating renationlisation of Water industry, without any plan as to how to pay for it. He is just a man of words, no plans, and leaves disaster wherever he goes.
It only sounded like renationalisation. If you listened to it more carefully he was saying that Water privatisation had failed, because government itself needed to be privatised. It won’t get paid for, but that doesn’t matter once you can’t vote them out. #StopFascism
They do have a plan, it’s project 2025. He was very clear about it in the interview. #StopFascism bsky.app/profile/snia...
Leaving ECHR would also affect the Brexit TCA Security Section. Possibly all of it, I’m not sure how the various bits are put together. And can you imagine the French lifting a finger to help us if we broke that or any part of the Agreement?
Part 3 of that agreement, covering justice and law enforcement cooperation, would be automatically terminated.
Yes, thought it’s be something like that, but wasn’t sure if it affected the other Parts in any way.
No not directly is the short answer. Although it would be a moot point as the breach of the Good Friday Agreement would lead to significant diplomatic and economic sanctions.
And our word would be mud, Perfidious Albion indeed.
Sorry, yes, I'd forgotten about that one. Made the post on the hoof, so there will, I am sure, be other issues that Farage's populism will create.
You could have just stopped with "Farage should never be interviewed".
Yes he should - under caution.
But the boats! The boats!
Ah, you mean Naturally Fraudulent.
He should never be interviewed outside of the twat’s dungeon where he should reside
Hear hear well said Caroline Lucas… not unusual for torylaura to be looking for the next lying agenda to Promote… liar farridge fits the bill perfectly now that the liar johnson is a busted flush.
All you in there get rich, on our Poverty, with yer Horrendous Policies, so don't gives us yer shite, yer all as bad as each other Criminals in Power.
Until Farage is held accountable for the damage he helped cause, giving him airtime without challenge is a disgrace.
bsky.app/profile/snia...
He’s more trustworthy than you. All of your arguments are based on fear.
A Female Woman Journalist. Ms "Clare Byrne"on RTE television interviewed Dear Nigel. On every point of Argument Dear Nigel was left flustered. He decided not to stay in a 5star hotel that night. But left for the Relitive safety of London as fast as Aer Lingus could fly him. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
The Con-servative Unionist. Are fully Responsible for Pulling the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland out of the EU28. There was to be a 2nd Referendum on the Withdrawal agreement. After the agreement with the EU27. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
I’m sick of this long term Ali G ripoff parody character “Nige”. Definitely time for the BBC to give newer comedians a break.
Totally agree, what about your own brexity tantrum Jenny Jones?
100%
You nailed it with the first sentence, “Farage should never be interviewed”
LK and CM are the BBCs Nick Ferrari who just lets Farage spew his shit with no pushback whatsoever. BBC news needs to be totally overhauled. The Mail etc who are always banging on about left wing bias are in a parallel universe
What makes BBC bias particularly destructive? Full article in link westenglandbylines.co.uk/news/media/g...
On the subject of these two - What makes BBC bias particularly destructive? Full article in link westenglandbylines.co.uk/news/media/g...
Ah, fannoy Ferrari's show on LBC is an open door for Farridge, Tice & Reform supporters in general. Allowed to promulgate absolute garbage, without ever being challenged, I'm surprised it's not been renamed the "Feckin Faridge Again" show! Rarely listen these days as it's a cesspit of rw propaganda!
Please report Ferrari to Ofcom. Today he openly supported people standing outside hotels hosting asylum seekers hurling abuse. His show is three daily hours of lies hatred and Reform
I only usually get the last couple of minutes when I'm waiting for James O'Brien, I can't manage more than that.
And they say sixteen year-olds are too immature to take part in deciding the future of the country.
The BBC has helped create Farage...just as they did with Boris. Expect nothing more from them ☹️
Net Zero will be his next Brexit, and the same people will be fooled by it.
It's the same agenda in behalf of the same people. Brexit was always about fossil fuels.
there is a cost on both side of channel 🤫
The North Sea is dying Caroline. We have the incredible proof, the numbers and the solution. Clacton is on the North Sea, take this on and you win Clacton and others similar and Farage is gone. Just listen from 11 minutes in. youtu.be/mNapDTbcP3w?...
* #ToryLaura
I would just stop at 'Farage should never be interviewed' personally.
In the end it’s us who make them. We love to read all their nonsense and don’t care about the more important matters. It might be because we can simply say how outrageous they are and stop being bothered about what we should do.
Let me guess... Kuennsberg did another amazing non-interview
Got it in one
IMO, Brexit was the brainchild of Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The 2016 movement used racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia to push the UK to leave the EU and weaken Europe, Britain, and NATO. Brexit resulted in social divisions and erosion of democratic institutions
And Koch. The unseen hand in plain sight.
Yes, Koch and Mercer funded. Mercer's Cambridge Analytica promoted racist propaganda on-line to divide the U.S. and U.K. to usher in Brexit and Trump and weaken democracy.
Let’s not forget this: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...
Yes, the same techniques that pushed the UK to vote for Brexit pushed the US to vote for Trump.
Couldn't agree more - how can we make this happen?
Managed a few minutes of him on LK this morning. He seems to think that the problems caused to water services by privatisation can be fixed by more privatisation. He really talked utter rubbish. He's a loon, but sadly he seems to have captured the support of people who really should know better.
According to Fashfrog, it wasn’t the RIGHT sort of privatisation. Just as the disaster that is Brexit is, according to him, because it wasn’t the right type of Brexit 🤬🤬🤬 Did you notice he claimed that his Reform councillors are being stymied by others? Never his/their fault.
Exactly. Couldn't watch LK failing to hold him to account any longer. Why is it these things are obvious to us but totally overlooked by someone whose job it is to pick them out?
Well said Caroline, farridges mission is to impoverish us and take all our hard earned rights away from us
It was the English voters who forced Brexit on UK
Totally agree. Farage, should be held accountable.
Laura Kuenssberg promotes right wing propaganda wither it’s true or not, will never highlight any rubbish that Farage comes away with,in fact watching her show on the BBC you could be forgiven for thinking it was GB News
She's The camera side face of the BBC's Board of Directors.
Any government controlled by the Corporate, this is one thing that will never happen is the trickle-down economy. Leaving wealth in the few will only guarantee the trickle-up economy. All your potential tax cuts are the corporate tax breaks. Any corporate investment is charged to you on top of costs
Greens shouldn't recommend environmental policies if they involve trickle-up to corporate, yet consumers have no benefits apart from large bills via corporates passing on increases. How bout ending trickle-up and trickle-down begin with trickle-to-us
Anti-EU sentiment predates Farage. When Cameron agreed to a referendum, both my aged mother and I knew Brexit would win. It had been clear since the 80s. My mother (former Ultra Secret/Enigma) hated that ref. She fought against nationalism. And remainers like yourself fought a useless battle.
Well that's how politics work. You can lie and fail and raise to the top when you own enough of the media.
He represents a political party of poorly educated people who are frightened of everything that wasn't part of their childhood..
True, yet his stock response is ‘we didn’t get Brexit’.
‘True brexit has never been tried, it would have been fine if I’d been in charge’ will be the reply
He knows all the tricks of the TV trade. Not surprising considering he's been doing TV since before any of us were even born, himself included
The BBC is now a lickspittle of the political right.
Agree with the first five words.
Until the BBC get rid of Kuenssberg and put somebody in there with teeth and determination, he will never be challenged. Victoria Derbyshire is waiting.
Also Fiona on bbcqt and all the other people who pander to him to make their jobs easier
NF is famed for in his youth being proud his initials matched the National Fronts, but on this occasion it appears they also match "Never Forget" 🤔
Like Trump, he relies on the publics perception of who he is. Misguided in both cases.
Farage should never be interviewed - period!
Cambridge Analytica and the connections between the Trump and Brexit mass-hypnoses has YET to be explored fully...
Farage "should never be interviewed"
Just horrible Brexit passed. Horrible. Farage is a poison to the UK as Trump is here in America.
Trouble is, things are unlikely to change. We are drowning in a sea of misinformation/disinformation and journalists are, for the most part, unwilling or unable to hold politicians and others to account. In many cases, they aren't even near to spotting the lies. Appalling state of affairs.
The hope that Kuenssberg will ever ask serious questions of Farage is a forlorn one & Mason is no better. Whenever Farage is on they may as well just say “there now follows a political broadcast by the Reform party”.
And 90% of the time when he's not on too.
That's how people dealt with criminals, heretics, misfits, rabble-rousers, etc in days long gone by. The image is absolutely not intended to give anyone any ideas, let alone follow up on them. it be best if farage dies from a very painful ailment, like an inflamed brain... wait, it doesn't have one.
💯🎯
Problem is, each time Farage is challenged on Brexit, he always says “this is not the way I would have done it” to deflect away from the fact that Brexit would be a failure whichever way it had been done. The populist’s playbook, always someone else’s fault.
I just can't watch anything he appears on, because he is rarely challenged about the sh*tshow he helped create with Brexit, or his fealty to Trump and the vile ideology of Project 25.
The BBC are promoting Reform just like they promoted Brexit
