Nigel Farage on Marr show

For the fun of it, or for a larf?

I must be awful then.
Mea culpa.
?

Just a point - history is the best predictor of the future and that leopard has not changed his spots. He dumped UKIP because he realised that publicising his racism wasn't helping him. He has protected his family against the effects of leaving the EU.

I find it absolutely incredible that anyone could support such a nasty, obnoxious, arrogant, self-obsessed person. I can understand that some want to leave the EU but to support that man is a completely different matter. It shows a lack of self-respect imo. To support him is to suggest you are as awful as he is.

I think Farage conducted himself as well as could be expected despite the idiotic Marr's constant interruptions.

I know I am stating the obvious, but interviews work best if the interviewer allows the other person to have their say, and then if need be, challenge him or her.

This didn't happen, and Marr was made to look ridiculous.

I have voted for the Brexit party and will await the results with interest.

If, as predicted they do well, it will be very interesting to see if it silences all the daft calls for a 'people's vote'.

Actually though, if Farage's party does do well, then maybe a second referendum would be a good idea to finally lay to rest the idea that many previous leave voters would vote remain next time.

Ha ha ?

Well I thought he was so good yesterday I might watch it again later just for the joy of it!

Firecracker one can read about an interview or read the transcript and frankly I don’t have to put myself through the distasteful experience of giving NF airspace to “hear” what he is saying.

Seems to me that a lot of people have got the hump because a lot more people have opted to vote the way they were told not to.

Well that's democracy for you; you can't knock down a coconut every time!
?

If I had the energy I might compare these posts with the recent passionate threads about climate change, and ask how any supporters of both NF and action on climate change reconcile the two positions. NF did indeed once say that global warming was the 'stupidest thing in history'. No point in burying our heads in the sand and blaming Andrew Marr for mentioning it.

Farage is a nasty manipulative piece of work who seems to have pulled the wool over a lot of people's eyes. I despair.

UKIP and the Brexit Party are not the same at all.

Just shows how out of touch you are then Grandma with what is happening to UK politics and the growing support for the Brexit Party.

UKIP, Brexit, all much of a muchness.

Iam64 perhaps you should get your facts right before trying to smear the Brexit Party the man accused of rape threats against Jess Phillips is a UKIP candidate.

Farage is a creep. Can’t stand him. Really like Andrew Marr

I saw the interview and agree with MawBroonsback and others who thought NF came across as unable to answer straight policy questions, becoming defensive and angry.

Bluster, and attacking AM and the beeb seemed to be his chosen strategy. He could have put his current policies across in answer to AM's questioning, but didn't.

I thought it showed him in his true colours. Isn't that what a good interview should do?

Well said, Iam

Before voting for the Brexit party, look at the history of the candidates. One man is under investigation for his rape threats towards Jess Philips. A woman, formerly a candidate for the communist party, stands by her belief that we should all be free to watch jihadi videos, including those showing beheadings and to down load images of children being sexually abused (often called child porn, an expression that should never be used)

As for Farage, he is indeed a loathsome individual who lacks ethics - as can be seen by his choice of candidates. Why shouldn't he be asked about previous comments. Every other politician is expected to answer for their past as well as current belief systems.

Perhaps you should watch the interview first before giving your biased opinion just a thought.

Sounds to me as if Andrew Marr did a damn good job of skewering the odious little creep!
I have read accounts of it although I did not see it live and if it rattled NF so much the better. He is so selective with what he wants the public to think he is for or against, depending on how the wind is blowing..
I understand that in the interview Marr asked NF if he was “uncomfortable with foreign languages being spoken on trains” following a remark he made to that effect in 2014.
NF replied: “You are just not interested, are you? Let’s talk about democracy, let’s talk about trust, let’s talk about competence in politics. This is ludicrous.” A question about his comments from 2015 about replacing the NHS with a system of private health insurance led to NF saying: “This is all very boring, isn’t it? All you want to do is go back to stuff from years ago. Why don’t we talk about ‘now’ in British politics?”
Following a query on whether he still believed that global warming was the “stupidest thing in human history”, he said: “Here we are with one of the biggest changes in politics that has ever occurred, and you are not even interested. What is wrong with the BBC?”

What is wrong with NF? We may well ask.

The BBC has received nearly £5 million since 2015 from the EU says it all really. The Bias BBC or Brussels Broadcasting Company ?
I thought the whole interview was bizarre. Andrew Marr should hang his head in shame.

Actually, listening to Sarah right now, it does seem to have had an effect already!

I didn’t see the interview, but if it makes the Beeb think about it’s interviewing techniques it can’t have been totally bad.

Radio Four interviewers in the morning are particularly bad and just talk over the interviewee all the time. We get their views but not those of the person we really want to hear from.

I thought Farage was awful (no change there!). He seems to think it's OK to have a party with no policies, no membership, no manifesto, no ideas as to how the country (or indeed Europe) should be governed. It's a one-man, one-idea party, and even when he'd expressed his one idea (Brexit) half a dozen times, he refused to answer questions on anything else. He clearly has no idea what being in government would entail, so let's hope he never gets into Westminster. He can't do much damage in the EU Parliament, he'll just be a laughing stock there.

If we had voted to remain there would be no need for fights!
Warmongering already !
