Nigel Farage plays 'Fruitcake or Loony' | Have I Got News for You - BBC 

UK Independence Party party

Now Reform UK candidate

​Now MP

@J and M LMFAO

Sadly, I do agree. I think nuance is important in any narrative and any criticism of Farage will be stronger and more credible if it doesn't pretend he has no positive qualities. I hate so much of what he stands for and sometimes I dislike his behaviour to the point of hatred, but here he takes it all rather well. He has a certain irreverence even when it comes to himself that is, in isolation, likeable, although I don't consider him to be likeable overall.

carpy1970 And to this day people still mention the positive qualities Hitler possessed as a person 😛

Leave EU Globalist Babylon the people have spoken !

The main misunderstanding of UKIP, comes from the sledgeload of MainStreamMedia bias, which is vehemently anti Tradition, Country and Anti European People. There are other sides, to the tiresome Liberal Extremes of the MSM, who portray society on tv, which most of the public lap up, then adopt even the most degenerative ideas, as a consequence. The MSM moulds them like putty. Their agenda, is Gvt control. They're all in the same bag...

@@bozkatinator hate who ?

That sounded very arrogant and patronising.

what else could he do

That's a big difference between left and right. The right readily give credit to anyone if it is merited.

You shouldn't be reluctant to give credit to people you don't like. You just admitted that you are arrogant.

@@maryhaddock9145True and the left all over the world are just children who throw tantrums and literally can’t laugh at themselves or anything. They are the most unfunny people around, too serious and miserable.

definitely a green.

@@hitewakeasllielimsolls8443 "Oh, someone on TV sometimes disagrees with my opinion. I'll go on RU-vid and scream bias to make myself feel better." Good for you, but I'd suggest therapy as a more productive long term solution.

And that's how he gets ya.

@@hitewakeasllielimsolls8443 the main misconception of UKIP comes from their irrelevancy. Especially as monster raving looney party just beat them

He has to take a joke, look at his party. He can do it while the camera is on him but as soon as it was off, he tried to get this episode censored like the scrotum he is.

@@liamevans9815 Really? Everybody believes you 🤔

@@Davo-007 Look it up, it's out there if you just use a little bit of effort. Or you can simply disbelieve me as you seem to be suggesting. Either way, I don't care.

@@liamevans9815 I care less.

@@Davo-007 That's nice for you. Goodnight now.

***** humility? He tried to sensor the program after this.

His previous statements regarding the BBC's attempts to disparage him have credence. They did the same thing when Scotland attempted to secede.

happyhappy85 wasn't this one, the one he sensor should be without him present, and Camilla Long isn't in this episode anyway

It didn't get censored. ..

Very well put.

Finally, someone who understands this...

He is an excellent politician, it's true. He's basing his support on the bigoted, uneducated and narrow minded, and he's no man of the people, but he's a truly excellent politician.

***** Yes Nigel takes it all in his stride, he knows he's on the BBC so some anti-ukip banter is to be expected, as you say, he's a good sport.

***** you do realise he tried to sensor this show right?

***** Because he's a populist, and an excellent politician. Doesn't mean they made the right choice.

He is also very sexy

@@imnotgayyy8489 didn't expect to read that today

@@imnotgayyy8489 I'm sure people thought the same of other authoritarian leaders too.

unless you're that journalist who asked him about flying a private jet

They give every politician shit, especially when they're a guest on the show

@@connor-bj6ku You're right, but they don't brand the voters of their party as racist with absolutely no evidence - they save that smear tactic for parties like UKIP.

@@barrychuckleisdead7345 "Absolutely no evidence" -- they gave it right in the show. The three people they mocked all said some extremely stupid shit

@@barrychuckleisdead7345 ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

@@MeMe-gm9di To be fair so have members of the Conservative and Labor Party. Dianne Abbott for instance who said white people like to divide and conquer. They all say stupid shit. I'm not attempting to necessarily defend UKIP here but let's be fair.

Many Tories are loony too.

Bots are really out in force, wild

All those roubles in the bank will do that for you.

Brexit, the biggest joke in UK history.

Ok but also people are pointing out horrific things his party or supporters have said and he thinks that's fine.

@@anotherdimension8140 HA, and you think the rest of world isnt in americas pocket? our failure of a leader zelensky sure as hell is in that dementia patient presidents pocket

@@bigfrankfraser1391 If Zelensky was in America's pocket, they would've given Ukraine weapons before Russia invaded. Your retroactive thinking doesn't add up, and you sound like some kind of disinfo spambot or misinformed conspiraloon. Come back when you've stopped reading Infowars as your main news source.

Yes actually, he spent most of his days by the seaside shouting about refugees coming over on boats on GB news. Though, I think he's stopping that so much. He kept being the first to find the dead / dying children.

He's in Parliament now as an MP representing Clacton and head of the Reform Party. Your comment hasn't aged that well.

I'm in no way a supporter of UKIP, but considering Farage can laugh at himself, why should his followers be so butthurt? It makes no sense.

***** they aren't using blank stereotypes they are using quotes from people associated with the party! pretty specific if you ask me!

***** Not all his followers have such strong personalities. It's a common thing in life.

***** Except they're backing it up with quotes from actual UKIP members, so they're not actually blank stereotypes are they?

No they don't. There is nothing that comes even close to this as far as jabs at the left goes. And they have people aiding the Islamic rape gangs in Rotherham and Telford

ABSsparklez I think it proves he's an idiot. Proves Labour and Conservatives don't need to do it, proves that he can put on a fake smile.

kwidem Charles Kennedy was amazing on hignfy. great man sorely .issued even though i disagreed on some policies

miserable ben you can now think of this 'fruitcake or looney' segment as a reference to the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn: Fruitcake or Looney?😂😂😂

Farage 2019 - Back with a Vengeance (rated 9.5 on IMDB - in cinemas soon)

@nicktecky55 you should have placed a bet on that!

I'm not gayyyyyy

How dare they point out facts

Most politicians are a***holes.

Well said from a fan of Farage . This man has real courage and bravery. He is trying to save Britain from becoming a third world slum-and looking after our interests . Soon we wont have places in Schools ,Hospitals ,and no housing places for our own people . Well done Nigel

It's a fact. Deal with it, Tommy

@@SundaeRoast No, it’s not a fact. You’re obviously just another ideologue who probably hasn’t even heard Farage’s views, except third hand. I’ll bet my life you couldn’t accurately outlive his views on any subject. Ignoramuses like you are what is wrong with the West.

you could still show pictures of UKIP members for both of those categories.... or are you conveniently forgetting about Peter Entwistle?

Nymeria Meliae Having one member doesn't make the whole party guilty. Having widespread pedophilia throughout all ranks of your party like Labour, Cons and Libs for decades and decades however, does.

Nymeria Meliae Harriet Harman: Childhood sexual experiences, wilfully executed, with an adult results in no identifiable damage." Paedophile or looney?

Stephen Barry one member that we know about. Give it time... UKIP are still a relatively new party with fewer members than the other parties.... give it time.

Stephen Barry How do you include the SNP in that statement and not include UKIP? I don't support any of the current political parties except perhaps the Pirate Party who have no candidates where I live... BUT, I will be voting Labour at the next election because I believe in voting and where I live the only viable options are Labour or Tory. With Labour, there is the chance of an SNP coalition and the SNP have pledged to increase investment in the northeast where I live. A vote for UKIP would be suicide for my region... we get more investment from the EU than we do from our own government. The Tories have pledged 21m to be spent on new businesses to attract employment to be shared between three local authorities over 5 years... the UK government will only be supplying 6m of that money - that is 1.2m per year shared between three local authorities which combined has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country... the EU will be providing 7m - more than our own government!!! ...then the rest of the money is from cloud cuckoo land (anticipated private sector money generated from the new businesses they hope to attract). The region as a whole receives 500m per year in EU investment for various projects... I've heard no promises from UKIP that they will replace that money if we leave the EU... but Farage's promise to continue where Thatcher left off is enough for me to trust that UKIP don't care about the north... and if the Tories hold their referendum in 2017 on EU membership and the public decide to leave the EU... then will they replace the remaining 7m that the EU are providing for their 21m scheme? Will they replace the other EU funding that we get? I highly doubt it. The Greens meanwhile have pledged to scrap all infrastructure projects in the region. SO they've just gone and slit their own throats before the election. They were a viable alternative to the Tories and Labour with their promises to stop fracking... but now they're even worse than the Tories for my region. The EU is the only thing keeping my region afloat and a Scottish party that we can't vote for because we are in England has pledged more investment than any of the national parties. SO... yes, I am voting Labour in the hope of getting the SNP and staying put in the EU because that is the best option available for Northumberland. With a bit of luck, we will get a referendum on joining Scotland and then we can vote for the only party that has promised to invest serious money in Northumberland at the next election.

I'll assume that's a euphemism 😉

@@SundaeRoast Nigel is love. Nigel is life

Mine too....rather have silly comments made than knowing members of my party had their child molesting shenanigans swept under the carpet by police and peers

He is a joke... A joke that got way out of hand.

So because there are multiple comments (I assume) you disagree with, it must be a bot? OK M9.

J 16 Not even close pal

Because the average UKIP voter has the intelligence of a moth.

By all means. UKIP will continue to rise in the polls if it is.

DimetriKhan Oh. In that case, let this never appear on television again.

Fairfieldfencer On the contrary, may this be on every night.

DimetriKhan I think you and I are watching this video for opposing reasons.

Fairfieldfencer Probably ;) But at least I haven't said "Vote UKIP" yet.

That may also be why he was neither fruitcake nor loony, as those were attributes reserved for actual members. Just a possible explanation

Things are not going to get any better.

Hindsight, eh.

Boris Johnson and Nigel farage, two excellent career politicians and truly disgusting men, for varying reasons. Good to see you admire them, it's true the public do.

***** " Britain can't survive without the EU. " This is no more valid than a Christian saying you shouldn't eat fish on fridays. There is no evidence to back up such a ludicrous assertion.

Are you joking????? They are much worse.

And the guy was right about women in sports.

No, he just understands this is humour , unlike most politicians who appear on this program and try to be clever but usually fail dismally

loony - lunatic, fruitcake - lunatic ("nutty as a fruitcake" -> nutty, nutter, nuts, off one's nut etc. - lunatic)

But not enough to make a difference. Face it, UKIP is just noise. Come the next election I doubt they'll even exist.

BobWaffleMan It is not just the indigenous Brits who support UKIP. It is the immigrants who have lived in the UK for years , The reason for this is because they are as frightened as the Brits that if we continue to flood this country with millions of poor immigrants , the country will eventually become the same third world and as poor as the countries they have already escaped from . A simple analogy is that you can only fit a certain amount of people into one house before the resources and space becomes unbearable to cope with , everybody suffers.and nobody benefits. If you are quoting Australia --yes its true that the Brit immigrants /convicts took the land off the Aborigine and that proves my point. Also look at the American Red Indian natives --They welcomed immigration , then they were pushed into reservations. We don't need all these people we want to retain our culture and identity . I haven't paid into the British public services to have them stretched and exploited by immigrants . I want the services for people whos ancestors have paid in for centuries . We should slam the door shut NOW!!!!! Nigel is the only man who has the huge testicles to stand up for Britain. I wish I had his scrotum. He is constantly attacked by those shithead liberals and lefties the same ones who damaged our country.

That's not true. UKIP gets minimal amounts of votes in areas with large immigrant populations, even naturalised ones. The only areas that vote UKIP are far removed from areas with large minority populations. That is because ignorance breeds prejudice, so no wonder UKIP gets votes from areas ignorant of immigrant communities. If you disagree I'll get the Yougov polls for high UKIP support constituencies.

Ali Silcox UKIP might get more votes from low immigrant areas because the people who live there do not want their already nice clean areas to turn into slums and third world run down shitholes , like Leeds Coventry and Birmingham who have high immigrant populations . People who come from countries like Somalia and Iraq are used to living in squalor and bring those same poor standards to Britain. We do not want any more third world filthy people scumming up Britain any further . We want to maintain nice clean British standards and culture . VOTE UKIP TO HELP SLAM THE DOOR SHUT NOW !!!!

The UK population is increasing at an extremely slow rate.
