Watch: Nigel Farage on the EU renegotiation and Donald Trump’s comments
Perhaps some of the BBC employees with more integrity and common sense have resisted the Corporation’s policy of demonising/sneering at/trivialising/patronising or condemning anyone whose politics is to the right of the average Morning Star reader. Or perhaps they are so shocked to the core by Donald Trump that Nigel is seen as an acceptable moderate.
On ITV it seems that Tom Bradby is now given free rein to drive the News at 10 agenda with his particular brand of shock horror disbelief at anyone who dares to exercise their right to free speech. A couple of nights ago, Bradby demonstated such indignation at Trump’s suggestion about banning further muslim entry into the USA that I thought he might throw a tantrum on the studio floor. The 370,000+ plus UK e-petition signatures demanding barring the entry of Trump into Britain is the most ridiculous and shaming travesty of ‘popular’ feeling ever seen. The figures show that most of those signatures are from people in large cities including London, Birmingham and Manchester where – guess what? – there are large populations of muslims. Funny that: I’d have thought they’d be hoping for him to come here so someone could take a potshot at him.
All this rage aimed at one man who hasn’t suggested harming anyone. Where is the 370,000 signature petition expressing outrage at any of the many islamic daesh scum leaders who are personally and morally responsible for killing countless people in horrendous ways? Un*******believable.
Crikey!
I never thought I’d see the day when a BBC journalist actually manages to interview Nigel without sneering or clutching-of-pearls.
I don’t know what Huw Edwards followed this up with, but dear me, that sounded like a normal interview.
Could it be the Marine-Le-Pen effect?
“Good to talk to you” says the BBC interviewer to Nigel. Is that because he’s the best of very few politicians prepared to give straight honest answers to questions without prevarication, blustering, fudging, dodging the question and other well-known techniques employed by lesser men? Nigel is a serious contender for leadership of this country, yet he is not in a position to be that leader. It shows that our system is flawed.
