I didn't see it, but my estimation of the man is that he's an evil little Fascist s**t and nothing he has done or will do in the future will alter that opinion of him.

Re: Who Is Nigel Farage

My thoughts exactly. He bumbles around laughing, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes but none of that hides the fact that he is a dangerous man (but largely clueless!).

The one thing that really did surprise me in the programme was the vast undemocratic setup of the EU. I am not opposed to the EU at all but I was quite shocked at that huge modern building and the amount of unaccountability of certain panels. Having said that though how do we get to the truth of it all.

Re: Who Is Nigel Farage

I didn't see it but have watched and listened to many interviews, he isn't a fascist IMO but he is getting himself caught up in things he should not be, his campaign to get us out of the EU was doing well, and he never came over as a racist however he has now been caught up in talking about general immigration and he doesn't come across well when he does.

He is however a dose of fresh air around the political scene as I do think he says what he believes so even though I am not liking everything he says at least I believe him when he speaks.

Julie darlin' - just remember that Nigel Farage is a hypocrite - he advocates withdrawal from the EU but at the same time is himself an MEP and takes pay and expenses from the Bruxelles Parliament. In addition, although he is an MEP and supposedly representing the interests of his constituents, he has one of the poorest voting and attendance records of any MEP

I believe he stood as a protest and now his protest is not to attend. And to be honest who wouldn't take the money, most I think would.

Re: Who Is Nigel Farage

Farage is a clown - but he is a clown who runs the only largish party in the UK which agrees with the majority of the UK population that we should get out of the appalling EU. The other three Tory parties are all in thrall to neo-liberal corporate capitalism and I will vote UKIP, not in any positive sense, but just to tell the three Tory parties that they have been rumbled!

No more a hypocrite than Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and David Cameron re- the promised referendum on Europe.

We are still waiting.

I quite agree Pats, but that doesn't make him any less a hypocrite because others are too.
