Spouting his usual vile rubbish.
Why do the BBC give this publicity seeking kn0b a platform |  | | |  |

Because sadly the BBC throw journalism, genuine balance and public service largely out of the window when it comes to domestic politics.
Politically, they’re an establishment and state organ and they’d rather deal with the clickbait and faux anti-establishment posturing of Farage. Instead of left-wingers, environmentalists and/or insightful commentators who would very boringly call out the real underlying issues in society and the economy that the BBC is fairly happy to ignore. |  |

People on Twitter are saying that on LK yesterday Gove got 20 minutes and Yvette Cooper only 8.
Last week on Question Time there were, yet again, no representatives of Lib Dems or Greens, but they can find a space for Julia B-S.
I have a strong sense that Fiona Bruce gives less time to the Labour representative, and cuts off and interrupts them far more, than the Tory, but that could be my prejudice. One day I might record and analyse it properly. |  | | |

Not to be a contrary sod, but he probably does reflect (not currently represent) the views of many. Whether they have him on too much is another question. Banning him from the beeb would just power up his nonsense. |  |

But those views are already well-represented not just within Tory party politics but the government itself.
The BBC has been instrumental in giving Farage a platform to amplify his views over the years. And it’s helped foster our shonky, unbalanced, xenophobic/nationalist identity politics. | |

Yeah because platforming him and other liars of his ilk has totally worked and shown him up for what he is.
These neolibs will wake up in a full fascist society one day and say HOW DID WE GET HERE? Before somehow finding a way to blame Jeremy Corbyn. [Post edited 31 Oct 2022 15:24]

The BBC is running scared of what the Tories can do, see Mad Nad and Ch4. So it gives an more time to righties so as to be able to counter any rightie claims of the BBC being impartial.
Farage is not anti establishment, as an ex public schoolboy who worked in the City and choses to hang round with those of similar standing he is as much part of the establishment as are his pro Brexit backers.
Their line is an anti intellectual one. Telling the thickos that (like Cambodia and Year Zero) the woes are all down to this mythical 'wealthy liberal elite' ... who sneer. Them being the guiding hand behind the Wokist movement - shades of Jews, blacks Eastasia/Eurasia and even the devil.
A convenient bogey man, who is the source of all ills. In Animal Farm the animals were told the former farmer, Jones, was the cause of all of their misfortune. Some might note that, like the old Top Ten ,some have fallen back. The EU, political correctness, the nanny state have dropped down the charts
As long as there a thick people all too willing to swallow this guff, there will be snake oil salesmen such as Farage, Johnson and Rees-Mogg to peddle it. | | | |

Absolutely.
And all this Braverman nonsense. Yes she is there to keep the Right Wing of the Tory party happy but more to the point her politics are the link to the Red Wall Brexiteers who didn't like people in Dinghies. Its more about keeping them on message and in the Tory pocket for another election whenever that might be.
We live in truly disgusting times. |  | | |

I don't appear on the beeb as don't most of the country - we don't see ourselves as banned. It is a bit loaded to state that not bing invited amounts to a ban | | | |
