Farage torpedoes himself

[Hillman avenger]

Remarkable last night.

When Farage couldn't get any traction with his arguments re housing/immigrants he lost it, and in one go accused the rest of them and the audience of being out of touch. He is so obsessed with his belief that he, and he alone, represents the common man, that when he gets push back he can't handle it.

He made things worse by then accusing the BBC of fixing the audience. Dimbleby promptly shredded him. It's the same delusion that Twing and others on here have- they think they know the score and anyone who disagrees must be part of a conspiracy.

The BBC hired a third party to construct an audience representative of party support, age, etc. This was part of the approach the broadcasters agreed,

If Farage had done his homework he'd have known that. He seems unable to comprehend that people might see different ways to solve our problems. He is on the way down.

[Sadact7]

He made a total twat of himself.

And when you're in a room with Ed Miliband and any SNP candidate then that is a hell of an achievement.

Dimbleby serves the BBC diktat and is happy aboard the gravy train , paid by BBC tax.
But I take it you like the conspiracy of UKIP being a racist party.

He was hoping to make the lame 'BBC audience is biased against me' point without being picked up. Unfortunately for him the audience was chosen by MORI not the BBC & Dimbleby said so.

The key phrase there is 'party support'.
Even if the audience were representative of party support, - that mean that 80% at least were raving left wingers and bound to be hostile to farage.
I agree he didn't do himself any favours, but the audience should have been selected as a cross section of the political spectrum, not partisanship.

As to supposed delusions, - I have been proven right on so many issues over the years, so it is hardly delusional to state that your mindset doggedly buries its head in the sand.

Nigel Farage is never off the BBC. The idea he gets treated badly by them or they're conspiring against him is just daft.

[The Ghost of Alex Higgins]

MORI is a bbc lapdog. That said, farage jizzed himself early and is now dead. Roll on the end of this braying prickfest (the election and you giggly d&d nerds)

[al growler]

Farage didn't need to torpedo himself, UKIPs policies and promises are unachievable, despite the fact that a large percentage of the electorate think that they are commonsense. (I think it's something like £40b unachievable).

The audience were again obviously handpicked by the left wing biased BBC, and again that left a sour taste, despite Dimbletwat trying to bumble on about a fair quotas.

The Tories have failed in nearly every area, yesterdays fight for school places again reminded us of their incompetence.

The Labour Party are also riddled with halfwits, can you image Milliband in No 10 and Ball is No 11. A frightening prospect.

The above tail of doom is depressing, but I'm afraid everyone needs to suck it up, because whatever happens come the election result we are in the shit.

Not that bad though, when you think about those poor bastards drowned trying to find a better life. Sometimes we need to get things in perspective.

Let's be honest. However they selected the audience the kippers would be complaining about non existent left wing bias. Farage embarrassingly got his facts wrong. The audience wasn't selected by the BBC but by a polling company. Presummably Farage agreed to this when he signed up to the debates.

If the audience weren't against him before they would be after he starting insulting them.

[Dr David Starkey]

All in all, a great night for the Tories. The killer moment was when Sturgeon said to Ed 'I can make you PM'. You could almost hear Labour's vote in England shrinking.

No he didn't - he was absolutely correct - whether the BBC selected the audience, or whether someone else selected them on the instructions of the BBC, it amounts to the same thing - they were selected based upon the profiles of the parties present ie., 80% left wing, which is not representative of the country - thank god.

We can only hope.
The least worst likely outcome is a tory government, preferably with some influence from ukip.

Cameron (& Clegg) not showing up was a dreadful miscalculation/blunder. The Tories are running a campaign as if they're 10pts ahead & cruising to victory, not fighting for every seat. Farage had a wobble & Cameron wasn't there to capitalise. Farage's performance will be forgotten. Cameron not turning up won't be.

Everybody's biased against UKIP. The BBC, polling companies & no doubt the public on May 7th.

Clegg wasn't allowed to go on by the BBC

He wanted to do it and seemed quite pissed off they wouldn't let him

Didn't complain very loudly before the debate did he. He's claiming victim status now the debate is over.

What's the purpose of that image? Are you goading outside F&G? I asked him a question, why you need to get involved I really don't know.

"I heard him on LBC"

"Do you listen to LBC?"
