I actually thought that was an interesting discussion and I thought Fred 'won' quite easily but its possible Farage didnt want to debate or its also possible that he was unable to respond to the points Fred made, which is quite interesting in itself.
I dont agree with reintroducing smoking in pubs or relaxing gun control but I can cope with the fact that people hold different views to me. We need to be able to listen to people who hold different views to ourselves even when its difficult.

Yup, me too.
However (just to be serious for a moment) the very thought of going down the path of "relaxing gun control" - and I don't think he's the only one who believes this might be a good idea - makes me shudder. Considering all the mental health problems we have in this country, I think it would - ultimately - be disastrous. In spite of all the assurances like "proper licensing" being done "responsibly", they would eventually end up in the hands of the wrong people.
Anyway, someone I know - who doesn't like him in fact - got chatting to him in a pub (where else!) and said that he was in fact quite civilised and OK to talk to. But, they didn't discuss politics!
I won't be watching - not because of him - I never watch it. It makes me a bit, I dunno, feel like I'm rubbernecking a car crash. But, I don't like 'reality' tv shows anyway. Apparently, some of the contestants receive abusive, and even threatening, messages after appearing in the show, it's not quite harmless entertainment if it can evoke such extreme reactions.
But, as I said - we have a lot of problems with seemingly many people suffering from them now.
