Nigel Farage on Have I Got News For You

Nigel Farage will be on Have I Got News For You tonight.

The programme will be broadcast at 9:30pm on BBC1 and is being guest hosted by the very funny comedian, Lee Mack.

Will Nigel top Boris Johnson's many hilarious, bumbling appearances?  Possibly not but Nigel is a funny guy and I can't wait to see what Ian Hislop does to him!

I thought the comedians were quite embarrassing towards nigel farage. They seemed to act if the man was some sort of satan. For instance when lee mack (who ever he is) said "Do you allow women to vote?". This implies that anything to do with UKIP is backwards and non-progressive. At least the man is standing up for uk sovereignty. And when hislop feigned his anger at some obscure politician being given a talking down, it felt completely shallow. Also the remark about Nigel Farage being ignorant?

Whats more ignorant than allowing a countrys independence to be signed away with the stroke of a pen.
I thought Nigel came off well, they always have a go at the politician on the show. Ian Hislop tried to have a go at him but just looked like the boring libdem fanatic he has become. Nigel took it all in good part, good publicity for UKIP.

Blah blah blah. Get a grip people! Lee Mack has been featured many times in BBC comedy programmes, so by saying that you don't know who he is, you're pretty much saying that either you're so amazing and have so many hobbies that you have no time for TV, or that you're out of touch with modern society. I suspect the latter.
Lighten up! It's a comedy programme! Of course they're going to rip Nigey to pieces -that's what politicians were made for. Curiously, I doubt you would have defended Van Rompuy quite so tenaciously. Just because somebody offended your precious Nigey-wigey doesn't mean that the world is wrong and you suddenly have a reason to swing from the chandeliers, ranting complete nonsense about immigration.
Farage is a joke, as is UKIP. Just a bunch of closets racists who are extremely out of touch with what's going on in the world. He wasn't a complete waste, since he provided good material for mockery on the show, but I saw him as no more than another ignorant toff dullard.
That's right, I used my freedom of speech. Please don't hate me for it.

Freedom of speech is all good but when someone doesn't do research and really making them self look like a fool. UKIP are not racist PERIOD! you are thinking of BNP! Also out of touch with the world? As in what? you going to state something then explain why?

Not sure how you been watching TV much but for me in the US I can see the BBC are on a mission to discredit UKIP really hard. With other 3 main party's it's the same old same old crap.

Also Stating people out of the modern world because they not watching TV is a MAJOR FAIL! I don't watch TV because it's all ads and crap shows. I for one use internet for other entertainment but for a person to site and watch TV too me means lack of life!

I am all good for intelligent debate but your post doesn't come under that. Other than someone trying to troll badly and showing the lack of open mindedness and show a major lack of research skills.

"Just a bunch of closets racists who are extremely out of touch with what's going on in the world."

Out of touch with what? The new political reality? The elephant in the room of which the cosmopolitan mafia is silent? The fact of group identity and the danger the new reality brings, and has already brought in a previous incarnation, to Europe? The introduction of tyranny to the home of classical liberalism? The beginnings of the end of national sovereignty and self-determination? The replacement of democracy with autocratic bureaucracy? The betrayal of my English, Scottish, and Welsh ancestors that all this represents? The deleterious, nation-wrecking, results of socialism in Britain?

You identify yourself as "PolishBrit". I take it that, by "Polish", you're referring to an ethnic identity and not something to shine the furniture with. Indeed, more condescension from yet another self-advocating foreign hypocrite. Oh how, from outside their former prison, the post-EU Brits laughed as Poland was flooded with millions of Muslims from Turkey and elsewhere. "Lighten up", you can be the new Israelites! Condemned to repeat history, my friend, condemned.

Reducing immigration was at one time the talk of people that were called racist biggots by the mass media.

Now it is mainstream politics, with all political parties agreeing that the numbers of immigrants must come down.

All the talk now is of a points system. This is supported by the Lib/Lab/Con, with the Tory Party adding a cap as an optional extra.

It is nolonger racist to talk about immigration. It is now mainstream politics.

I saw the programme and thought it was very funny.

There was a few jokes at Nigel Farage's expense, but it was all good natured and humorous.

Nigel came across as a good natured pleasant person.

He got one or two plugs in for UKIP, and as the programme was a comedy programme, that is all that anyone can ask.

Well done Nigel. Please get on the TV more often if you can.
Just to reply quickly to the poster who mentioned racism. I support UKIP, but I thoroughly despise racism. You are mixing self determination with exclusion. The BNP are bunch of cowards who hide behind an image, which now is basically a cheap suit. With an ex-national front member for a leader.
