The BBC (lackey) clearly hoped that Farage would be intimidated and he was quite the opposite.

And everything he said about the BBC output at the time he was alleged to have made his oh-so-offensive remarks is true - I know, I grew up (allegedly) then.

Classroom/playground humour back then was encouraged by BBC mainstream programming. Not sure whether it was under the Inform, Educate or Entertain charter remit clause, but it was there, in virtually every living room/lounge of every house in the UK, every day.
Does that include the time you spent in the detector vans grassing up people back at then?
Wouldn't mention the BBC if l was you makes you look a hypocrite 
If that is what you need, so be it. The law on possessing a TV licence to legally watch TV was not of my doing; learning about all aspects of it's enforcement was.

Sounds here like you are very much on the side of TV licence dodgers - criminals. Does being so make you feel edgy and a bit of a geezer?

Oh. and being labelled a hypocrite by you, of all people, is very deep into pot & kettle territory.

This can't be true, this is the totally IMPARTIAL BBC we're talking about. An institution of such moral integrity and sense of fairness would never stoop to this kind of thing.
What cracks me up is not only was the audience loaded up, but so was the panel, as per which I find remarkable considering the serious heat on them for clear Politcial bias involving Trump. I'm almost impressed by their arrogance and superiority to just carry on doing it in plain sight after everything. Almost psychopathic.

I think that delving back into someone’s past especially when remarking on things said by an individual in their formative years is indicative of some kind of desperation.

In terms of what Farage has admitted to saying and doing back then it shows how someone who was prepared to to engage in anti semitic bullying has been able to transition to adulthood putting that sort of juvenile behaviour behind him.

It’s what we are like as adults that count and we should ultimately be judged by our grown up words and deeds. And in Farage’s case there is plenty to take him to task on so leave his young life out of things.

just heard that Question-Time on the BBC last night, allowed 'illegal migrants to have their say on QT's Immigration-Special. Apparently it was revealed that one of the migrants had an  ear-piece in when answering questions. It was also muted that it was a rigged audience with hardly any dissenting voices but lots of rapturous applause for Zack Polanski who wants 'open' boarders... QT was held in Dover, not the most pro-immigration area.

in other news, looks like Lammy has forgot to shut the gate, re-Labour's plans for rejoining the EU via the back door.

what is it with the Establishment in this country?... smoke, mirrors & lies.

It's clearly a targetted attempt to argue for his and reform's removal from the ballot. The same way the Germans are trying to prevent the AfD from gaining power.

If Starmer doesn't cancel all future general elections, even if Reform won, they will try and tie Russian influence to it, like in Romania. 

There really is no future in democracy for the far left, they want a global dictatorship.
All about the EU.

if we had a leader with the minerals like Maggie we'd be just fine , like we always have been throughout our history.

Rather than start a new thread, thought this one would be as good as any.

Does anyone else receive work messages around this time of year, a ‘gentle reminder’ to you all, to bear in mind others faiths, around Christmas blah, blah, blah

Can anyone explain to me how this isn’t discrimination in itself? 

The people who send these messages would not dream to send the same to us all around Eid or Passover, as they realise this would be wrong and it would also create a shitstorm.

So how can the Christmas message not be outright discrimination?

If you’re lucky like me, you might also work with similar imbeciles, who will send this kind of message out, followed quickly by another one, encouraging colleagues to turn up in Christmas jumpers at the next meeting.

I'm amazed that the scouse cunts didn't complain about and demand compensation for the claret on their clothes following Heysel.
A truly despicable sub-set of our (once) great nation.

The prosecution of police over Hillsborough was allowed to be delayed for decades so they all resigned or died 
That is an absolute disgrace 
Especially being able to avoid justice by quitting 

That said I will always say there was blame all over … the police, the ground authorities (our man Graham Mackrell hadn’t bothered to have a current safety certificate), Sheffield Wednesday AND the Liverpool fans who piled in and killed their innocent fellow fans who had arrived early. With tickets 
The idea that fans bore NO responsibility is a nonsense TO ME
Of course as football fans you have sympathy for the innocent fans who were murdered and their families

There's a planned Public-Inquiry about a certain subject where you can bet your life, that everything in the Establishment's power will be used to ensure that no-one will see the inside of a Court... fact.
At least now we have the clearest indication yet as to how the grooming gangs enquiry will pan out.
