Farage has lost his temper on BBC News and refused to appear on Newsnight https://x.com/implausibleblog/status/1797761928158130510?s=61&t=xKCXjKa1-S6Ks0nSd_LXGg

That makes a change. Him NOT appearing on the BBC. Assuming he stuck to his word.

BBC state broadcaster my arse

Why is the owner of a company who has just appointed himself as it is boss appearing on the radio this morning? Will he be asked if he believes in democracy?

Gambling with other people's money and then taking from the poor when it went wrong?

Ah, he is pledging to have around 600,000 migrants a year.
And has a policy of shipping migrants to British overseas territories on his company website, but says that it isn't terribly practical.

I'm already sick of him. Less than 24 hours since he took over undemocratically and I've woken up to him spouting his racist racist bile on the BBC. At least the presenter is challenging him.

If anyone came on speaking about Jews in the way he is speaking about Muslims there would be uproar.

The presenter is ace.
He is not even hiding his racism. At least it makes clear that Brexit wasn't about the EU, but was about hating foreigners.

Do your children speak another language!

Brilliant.

She's at risk of getting into trouble for not following the BBC line I suspect!

Yep. Just listened to him the whole way home on R4.

He s a politician who actually answers questions - just a shame his answers are a load of racist bile.

That's the problem. He can (often) hold his own in an interview and speak with authority. It's just that what he says is so awful.

IClaudine · 04/06/2024 08:14

Why do they give him so much airtime?

Thingscanonlygetsunk · 04/06/2024 08:19

I have worked out Rish!

He is keen to get net migration down, which is why he is working so hard to lose the election, then he and his family will leave the country, improving the net migration figures.

It is so obvious.

Why hadn't I realised this before?

Exactly, he has failed to win a parliamentary seat 7 times.

I ve no idea why they give the 21st C equivalent of Lord Haw Haw, so much air time.

MrTiddlesTheCat · 04/06/2024 08:27

Did anyone see Badenoch on Politics Live yesterday? She has a very unpleasant manner about her. Not nice at all.

IClaudine · 04/06/2024 08:28

I just listened to the interview. How calm Mishal Husein was in the face of his bigotry, I really admire her.

He is a dangerous man.

Not white: tick.
Woman: tick.

If she was gay he'd have had a full house,

Remember how both Boris and Trump - two more utter cunts - really made it obvious they hated being questioned by a woman ?

Who can trust anything he says? He's a man who, last week, publicly announced that he would do the exact opposite of what he is doing this week.

fabio12 · 04/06/2024 08:35

I may have missed it but has he explained why he hasn't gone to USA yet? I'd love a journo to find out what promises Trump had made him before the guilty verdict became a reality.

I didn't laugh. Beyond that.

all this DANGER which includes:

China
Russia
Rayner
THE UNIONS
France
Immigration
YOUNG PEOPLE DOING NOTHING
Starmer
CORBYN
SOCIALISTS!
Surprised they didn't stick WOKE PEOPLE in there

Not climate change or poverty though. No dangers there.

So interesting how close this list is to the 'posts of a certain type' on here.
Almost as though it came off the same crib sheet.

SerendipityJane · 04/06/2024 08:39

Just reflecting on the events of yesterday.

If the tories can't run a simple campaign for a general election (and it's is painfully obvious they can't) then how on earth is anyone with a working brain expecting them to run a fucking country ? Either there are very few working brains out there, or people aren't interested in competent government, just greedy racist cruel government.

The LibDems must have a pretty slick operation to be able to source and crew a boat at presumably very short notice - possibly less then an hour. This level of competence promises great things if harnessed by the country.

I enjoy the "Tribe" description on Electoral Calculus. Apparently in my area we're Kind Yuppies.

He'd lie anyway.

The real reason his he has read the runes and calculated that Donnie dearest is more likely to be club fed than club pres and he doesn't want to be anywhere near it when it happens.

He can say whatever he likes. We'll know the truth. And if MAGA supporters actually gave a fuck about a creepy limey (they don't) then he'd be another one against the wall, come the revolution.
