Nigel Farage unveils UKIP's campaign - Have I Got News For You: Series 47 - Episode 4 - BBC One 

Yes they mock everyone but there is still a clear bias.

Did UKIP once call the Kent Police on Ian?

ukip was a closet fascist party in Farages time with them but since he left it is overtly racist and mysoginist. It deliberately spread fear of the EU with false accusations of the EU being a danger to UK sovereignty.

@@bongofrenzy303 so you are saying the people who vote for it are faciasts?

@@bongofrenzy303 Yes, why would being beheld to a foreign power endanger ones sovereignty? I think your brain needs an oil change.

@@JohnSmiffer It doesn't endanger our sovereignty, we chose to enter the EU and, now, we have chosen to leave it. If we had no sovereignty, we would have been forced in and refused exit, or at the very least refused exit. We willingly signed up to the EU with the understanding that EU law holds value over UK law, we willingly gave up any sovereignty that has been taken, and we are now exercising that sovereignty to leave it.

It's his wife, ffs. One can be against child labor, but still have your kids do chores.

How so?

+Lewis Turner the UKIP supporters are being bitches in the comments because they were ridiculed.

that's an unfair generalisation. if this was about tories or labour being made fun of then it would be tory or labour supporters being upset. i'm not a UKIP supporter, but its only fair to point that out.

+imMIB123 fair enough, i should know better than to make sweeping generalisations. But for those that are but hurt by comedy, it shows that you are insecure about your policies, this applies to any party.

Not much of any kind of sense, really.

Yes a British woman she be given the opportunity to sleep with him , and your point is ? Sounding a bit racist yourself really

His wife has to brief him on meeting, legislation, reports etc etc when he returns home at whatever time of day that maybe. How can anyone who isn't his wife fulfil that role? Her salary is £25,000 a year working outside the office hours.

***** So by your theory, it should be Chris Martin (The Prime Minister's current Secretary) that should be married to the PM and not Samantha Cameron. and i'm sure the PM's secretary's office hours are even more unsociable hours than Farage's

That's assumption, not fact. Assuming a point to back up your claim is pointless.

At those times of the evening a wife or husband can only do that, no one else can do that role. Chances are anyone other than a partner will have a family or other commitments, so that scenario of yours is pretty impossible.

so all secretaries are in bed with their managers?.... more than a bit of an insult to how many people?

@@bongofrenzy303 what? His wife is his secretary. When did I say anything like ALL secretaries are in bed with their managers?

To be fair Paul Merton usually does jokes about absurd things like penguin stories Hislop specialises in the satire.

Well I'm glad to finally find a UKIP supporter who understands the meaning of 'free speech'.

***** What's your opinion on Farage's recent attack on this very programme?

A very fair and balanced view of the programme, and unlike many of the other UKIP supporters who seem to have come out en masse to attack this clip seemingly unaware of that oh-so important context. I myself do not support UKIP, but on this point we can agree!

Thomas M N To be fair, ukip deserve every bit of criticism they get

About £450,000 from Aaron Banks

How's that panning out?

If you watch the latest episode of HIGNFY you'll see that they are still laughing at him.

@@blackphilip8936 and you think being out the UK will turn fascist like you? your world of fascist magical realism is already crumbling. The EU will welome us welcoming the return. Pragmatism will win. Binning membership of one of the worlds biggest trading blocks will hurt far too many family budgets way too much.

Why not? Is UKIP actually doing well at something?

Not true, I worked in a warehouse with a majority of Polish workers recently.

The fact that Tim Martin and Simon Wolfston full brexit supporters who now want to change immigration laws, because Brexit has meant they have suffered labour shortages in their companies, is very evident that it is true. But lets just say it wasn't! If a warehouse is still employing a majority of Polish workers to work here, then the argument that voting brexit to stop overseas people taking jobs, was a completely misleading.

If there are still Brits being paid benefits whilst there are jobs available, then the solution appears to be presenting itself!

Michael Yeovil dont worry years later, and today I know almost no one with tv license anymore :) BBC and co are history and only the older generations will be fuming at their boxes for it's last days. Internet and social media is the next propaganda worries, and the biased BBC news will trickle over their agenda to crap like Facebook, which thankfully again I don't know many people these days who use that either:) As people continue waking up, propaganda will keep slipping it's grip, until those funding it need to change their tactics drastically... and sadly, they will. Once corruption is in a position of high authority, they aren't going to just give that up in the name of democracy. This is why since the early war days, since radio, newspapers, etc, political thinking has been absolutely conditioned on a consistent basis at every given oppourtunity.

people who use his wife being german against are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel for genuine debate .

chris Mulley As I understand it UKIP policy is for controlled immigration - so it's a moot point. This media onslaught against a legal political party has descended into farce.

Probably because his boss didn't tell him too. He's an interviewer not a reporter, so he doesn't search for his own stories - instead he's given his pre-organised assignments by the upper echelons. My guess would be that they'd send a more Labour type to grill the tories and a more Tory type to grill the labourites in order to avoid any leanings, objective though interviewers must strive to be.

No you didn't, you may have won the vote but, are you any better off? No!

only the extreme right wing hates the BBC and that is because absolutely noone likes their nasty party. The only good press they get is from little weird hate fueled websites dedicated to hate parties.

@@bongofrenzy303 The anti-imperialist left ('tankies') and dissident right ('neo-nazis') both hate the neoliberal, socially liberal post-war consensus that the BBC embodies, albeit for different reasons.

exactly ukip were given far too much oxygen.

How is it slander?

The BBC fails to realise how many people actually support UKIP. If they focused as much as they do on picking the faults of UKIP as on the government and opposition we'd be a very well governed and healthy democracy. But no. The BBC is instead run by a load of pro-establishment liberals.

im generally quite happy with the bbc's behavior regarding impartiality, but it really isnt very fair on UKIP to be hounded by the bbc like this. the only reason they havent been called out for this is because nobody wants to be tarnished with the brush of being branded a UKIP supporter.

Sam Logan who would want support of the bbc anyway , well apart from other kiddie fiddlers that is

No, this isn't fair- it is a comedy programme so of course, there is going to be jokes pointed at any political party, and it happened to be UKIP this time. Touchy.

Not unfair at all - HIGNFY have attacked Cameron, Clegg and Milliband many, many times - that's what they do. The BBC News team have done the same to Milliband as well - I've seen Jeremy Paxman tearing Labor party policies apart on Newsnight. They're very impartial - but impartial seems to mean something entirely different when it comes to Tory and UKIP voters, it seems,... impartial should, of course, mean a pleasant whitewash for the Right. Well that's not how the world works.

Watch the Farage interview again, this time really listen!

Elisheva 777 I beg to differ

picking holes in Farage's 'logic' is funny.
