FFFT Nigel Farage finally cancels himself (it’s not like anyone else will).
I look forward to hearing absolutely nothing from him for the foreseeable future.
Of course the audience is biased since most polls indicate 80% of the public don’t support Reform.
Actual Scrutiny was cast on Farage, it was highly effective.
Farage retreats back to the safety of the shadows
I mean it was obvious to see, the Green Party before got setup some simple and easy questions for their ridiculous and sometimes fiscally dangerous spending plans. If we’re going to take politicians to task take them all, it’s not like any of them are doing much for the UK. Acting like a Labour government will make every issue go away is a great way to ensure Reform is on 25-30% in 5 years time.
I mean has he indicated what precisely the bias was in the questions being asked?
It’s looking an awful lot like Farage just isn’t keen on facing a bit of scrutiny.
If memory serves wasn’t he begging to get in on these debates?
Farage keeping to that tried and tested tactic of it always being someone else’s fault.
Tedious manchild. Hopefully the tone is now set and when he inevitably abandons his boycott he finds QT, Politics Live etc are no longer biddable.
Sure buddy. Didn’t see you boycott it the last umpteen times.
Easier to appear on it and complain about biased lefty mainstream media after.
Oh thank fuck – we’re finally spared the nasty fascist
Funny how this is deserved, he is coming at England hard and good, you fucking asked for it
There was no bias…he just doesn’t like scrutiny. He cried to get on the show and now he cries they didn’t agree with him
BBC just need to say “ah well nevermind” and move on
Haha imagine him leading the country when a QT audience sends him running, pathetic.
Can I boycott him from my life?
Sick of hearing from this Nazi and his followers.
Man campaigning to abolish the license fee isn’t liked by the BBC. Hardly surprising.
It was. Literally every question bar one, was a slant on “you hate immigrants/are racist”.
He said he wants to get immigration down to the tens of thousands. Thats been Tory policy for years.
And “more people = we need more houses” is just stupidly obvious.
We cant build near enough affordable homes as is, lets bring in a new Glasgow every year.. That’ll help!
Thank the gods we won’t have to listen to all that hot wind.
He did shit and his takes and party’s policies go down like a bucket of cold sick to the decent populace. What we saw yesterday was a man who stepped out of the alt-right echo chamber and got a slap.
And he knows it. This is a genuinely childish and desperate reaction.
The man cannot face up to the idea that maybe, just maybe, he might not be all that popular… 🙃
Of all the things to boycott BBC over, THAT is your hill?
Aka coward looking for a reasonable excuse to hide away from scrutiny and questions.
Most people are raging over the effects of Brexit…no wonder they couldn’t find anyone that liked him outside of Clacton…
Just like he said he’d fuck off abroad if Brexit is a disaster… Yeah right!
He said he won’t be on the BBC until they apologize, so I welcome the BBC never apologizing to him and trust for once he will be true to his word.
Nigel, you have ~14% support. This means 86% of people dont support you.
This means in practical terms 86 people in a hundred person audience will be “leftie biased” or whatever drivel you want to shout. You are not popular and never have been.
