Nigel Farage on I'm a Celeb etc (sorry forgotten the name of the show)
I've never watched it before, and I dont know any of the other contestants, but could be fun.
No doubt he will be given the most gruesome challenges.🤣

What a truly offensive title 'the most hated man in the world' when we have two wars raging that involve appalling slaughter and untold cruelty. You must surely realise that Farage doesn't even come close to being the most hated man. Anyway, I thought last year it was Matt Hancock who was the most hated man in the world.

This thread is obviously just for Farage bashing and someone needs to start another thread for the programme itself.

Apologies Chestnut, but bashing Nig was not on my agenda.

Poking fun and chatting was.

MerylStreep ....

More will have heard of him when the show finishes though.

No doubt that is part of the attraction to do it.

Also I think, (someone can correct me if I'm wrong), he has been paid more than anyone else.

Re the OP.
I don’t think the vast majority of the world has even heard of him, let alone hate him.

Your correct, my title was a little over egged for emphasis.

I won't be watching the show, I don't like it.. if anyone is hated and smarmy tho' it's the gruesome twosome who present it.

I like NF.. his views all make sense..hope he wins

It's the gruesome twosome who present it

'the bile brothers' is how I've heard them referred to grin

Rather a nasty title. There’s too much hate in the world right now.

Just because you disagree with his politics doesn’t give you the right to call him the most hated man in the world and certainly doesn’t mean you speak for others.

Sorry if I offended you Primrose53 I think the nuance (a word I'm seeing a lot these days) or perhaps tongue in cheek or even humorous, was how I meant the title to read.

No, of course I only speak for myself.

He has been referred to as a 'marmite' figure, which partially accounts for my title.

Never watched it and don’t intend to start now.

I used to enjoy this programme every year but I expect Farage to spoil it just like Hancock did last year. How convenient that he might be medically unfit for some trials. He shouldn’t have entered if that’s the case .

That’s been the case with plenty of other contestants over the years. He has been involved in a helicopter crash as well as vehicles.

I realise you are trying to make out he is getting some sort of special treatment but he really isn’t.

How many other things would I prefer to do?
How long have you got?

No

I'll be watching smile
I've just read this on Yahoo news though. Nigel Farage has revealed that his health issues will prevent him from taking part in certain Bushtucker Trials during his upcoming stint on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

Apparently he negotiated smoke breaks off camera🤣🤣
They must have wanted him pretty badly.

And a quick pint smile

I certainly have no place for hate in my life and undoubtedly the news media will inflict the 'highlights' of this show as often as they can.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 19-Nov-23 14:38:03

I’ve never watched it. It looks a revolting programme.

And no I will not watch that smirky worm courting more publicity

I have to say well done for that description LauraNorderr, it’s spot on, conjures him up perfectly.

I’ll watch some of it out of interest, but will need to fast forward through all the bushtucker trials. envy

My reason for never watching, I have a very sensitive gag reflex.🤢🤭

I doubt very much that Farage is the world’s most hated man. He’s not that significant.

And no, I won’t, but then I’ve never watched the programme.

Perhaps I should have qualified my title by
Saying GNet most hated...

I've watched it every year since it began and this year will be no different.

Hancock didn't spoil it for me last year, I really enjoyed it.
