To ask why on earth Farage is given so much airtime?

[DorothyL]

He's nothing at all. Why why why do broadcasters give him so much space to air his views???

Because like it or not he's got us out of Europe. Or nearly out. I quite like him. He's sincere and has common sense. Which is a lot more than you can say about quite a few politicians. Agree.

Teresa May is just sooooooooo boring. I've given up listening to anything she says. She's like an old school headmistress talking to second years.

Thanks to the 'delightful' Nigel, we have a new phrase in our house for those jackets he wears: twat's tweed.

I would rather be considered 'PC' than support a misogynistic, racist arse like Farage.

My hatred for Farage isn't PC, lefty or right-on, it's more a visceral, burning, gut-wrenching urge to spew every time he opens his mouth.

They are creeps and they want us all to be fascists like them.Ugh

Nigel Farage is the most significant British politician of his generation, and the fourth most important of the last century, behind only Churchill, Attlee and Thatcher, and ahead of all other Prime Ministers.

If it were not for Farage, the UK would certainly not be leaving the EU next year, and in all probability we would not be leaving at all.

UKIP's victory in the 2014 European Parliament elections, under Farage's leadership, were what forced David Cameron to promise an in/out referendum in the Tories' 2015 general election manifesto. Sadly, we all know what happened next.

Why wouldn't he get airtime?

This is England. He's good for the dog-whistle/order of chaos politics style. He was the Tories ultimate weapon for Brexit. I'd be surprised if he didn't get airtime tbh. Whilst he's talking shit people will think less along the lines of what is T May/government actually doing. & he'll make a very convenient sacrificial scapegoat in time to come
