I quite like the guy.
It's the rest of the chinless slime buckets in the party (Reckless etc) that are the peculiar ones.
As well liked a Farage may be, and as well meaning (not fascist) as he may be, any party that says we want to control immigration will naturally be attractive to those of a far right leaning. They may be right wing in normal political terms,(even though a lot of things like taking minimum wage out of the tax bracket could be seen as left of centre) they are certainly not a fascist party.
I thought he concentrated far far too much on immigration, and not enough on the rest of the disaster that is the EU. You can easily make a case for getting out of the EU without even mentioning immigration. Although, clearly, the mass migration of Eastern Europeans is a massive issue to many people.
TBH the whole thing really was a farce, I mean the green party (who I quite like) given a platform on the nation forum debating as equals? Same with the SNP and Plaid Cymru?

Irrespective of whatever party one supports, the bias of the BBC was obvious. Never more so than when the three socialist women where enthusiastically applauded for their views.
The BBC, a recipient of millions of pounds EU funding, should provide a platform for a fair exchange of views devoid of audience bias and barracking. I thought, last night, it failed to do so.
Agreed. Farage lost his cool a little I thought.....
