Farage dismissed with immediate effect from his regular propaganda broadcast

[longwayoff]

At last, LBC has ditched the nation's favourite 'populist' from his nightly radio programme. AIBU to say this is very good news?

[ScarfLadysBag]

YANBU. Guy is a hatemonger

[GrimDamnFanjo]

Link?

 Nigel Farage to leave LBC Radio 'with immediate effect' news.sky.com/story/nigel-farage-to-leave-lbc-radio-with-immediate-effect-12004872

[Timesdone]

Oohh, I need to catch up with the news. I love LBC even the presenters I can't stand.

[AgeLikeWine]

That’s unfortunate. I voted Remain, and I disagree with Farage about almost everything, but even I have to accept that he is the most influential British politician since Thatcher. He represents, and embodies, a significant strand of English public opinion. ‘Cancelling’ him will play into the hands of the hard right, and help them portray themselves as a victimised minority.

[Jana36]

Great news! Vile human being.

[SouthWestmom]

What has he done? Didn't they get rid of Ken and Katie H as well? They don't seem to tolerate extreme views.

[Felifox]

I can't stand him, and despite his campaigning he's never managed to win a seat in the HOC

[ZaZathecat]

I gather it's his coverage of the black lives matter issues that were the final straw. I believe he likened the people who took down the statue in Bristol to the Taliban.

[Thedogscollar]

Yanbu he is a racist. Likened the Bristol BLM protestors to the Taliban

[FirTree31]

Good. He as PP said, he likened the protesters to The Taliban. He is an outright racist and shouldn't be given air time. He's never had a seat anyway, that I'm aware of.

[MockersGuidedByTheScience]

Finally, LBC What kept you?

Now no more of this Shock Jock crap: Galloway, Livingstone, Hopkins, Farage. No more of this. Grow Up.

[MockersGuidedByTheScience]

PS: Who remembers the great days of LBC, with Brian Hayes, Peter Allen, Bob & Doug, Anna Raeburn and the Naughty Bits, etc.

[Figgygal]

Excellent news
He really brought the place down

[Mumoblue]

Good. The man is a toad.

[JasperRising]

He is a racist who should not have been giving such mainstream, uncritical platforms for his views over the years.

But like a pp, I do have concerns about how this will be received by his core fan base who will certainly use it as further evidence of his and their persecution at the had of a liberal, lefty media.

[MinteeFresh]

Good. As soon as we get rid of these hateful old bigots from our society the better.

[borntobequiet]

I hadn’t realised the depths of his racism until he referred to Barack Obama as “disgusting”.

[Samtsirch]

Fantastic news.
The mere mention of his name makes my gag reflex go into overdrive.

[skippy67]

Good.

[Thelittleweasel]

@longwayoff

Oh thank goodness. Now a two year extension to Brexit next and during that time finding that Britain cannot afford it and revoking Article 50.

Oh what a fantasy! Next BJ and Trump ["trump trump trump" from Nellie the elephant"] resign saying that it was all a mistake

[ddl1]

Oh really? I might go back to listening to LBC now; Farage wasn't doing my blood pressure much good.

[ddl1]

'‘Cancelling’ him will play into the hands of the hard right, and help them portray themselves as a victimised minority.'

They ALWAYS portray themselves as a victimised minority (the minority part is true), so nothing will change that way!

[JesusInTheCabbageVan]

Gutted

I wanted it to happen on his birthday

[EnthusiasmIsDisturbed]

Well they couldn’t turn a blind eye right now they certainly would have if the political atmosphere was different

He brings in listeners that beings in revenue

I’m not applauding LBC they have been very happy to accommodate him
