When he's not a right wing moran, he's a left wing moran.

Shocking.


Nigel Farage wants the BBC to stop making programmes like Doctor Who, Strictly Come Dancing, and Top Gear

The BBC should be “cut back to the bone” and stop producing popular entertainment programming, Nigel Farage has said.

The Ukip leader said he wanted to see the BBC dramatically shrunk and only produce "public service" output - defined by regulator Ofcom as programmes broadcast "for the public benefit".

The move could see the end of more frivolous entertainment programmes like Doctor Who, Strict Come Dancing, and Top Gear.

“Do I think the BBC needs to involve itself and engage itself in many other fields of entertainment and sport, given the whole world has changed with cable television and satellite television? No,” he told a public meeting in Rochester.

“I would like to see the BBC cut back to the bone to be purely a public service broadcaster with an international reach, and I would have thought you could do that with a licence fee that was about a third of what it currently is.”

Examples of public service broadcasting given by Ofcom include "local news coverage, arts programmes and religious broadcasts".

Mr Farage said he did not want to see the corporation entirely privatised but that the licence fee should be cut to about £50 a year, a two-thirds reduction in income.

Oh dear. This is going to tear Blackleaf apart.

What a shame.

 

[Corduroy]

Surely entertainment is for the public good. The Romans knew that.

 

[Zipperfish]

You spelt moran wrong, moran.

The blood of morans shall be spilt this day!

He's never got destroyed during debates. The man is a master debater and orator and has won every single debate he has taken part in, including those two against Clegg last year.

Vote Ukip, the common sense party.

As for Mr Farage's views on Al Bibisiyah he is, once again, right.

Al Bibisiyah is not only too big now but it's also a Left-wing hornets' nest, spewing its Left-wing propaganda day in and day out into the homes of millions of people: millions of people whose lives it knows little about (the white working class majority is alien to the BBC, which now just makes TV shows for the benefit of the Left-wing, Guardian-reading metropolitan London elite in Islington and Hampstead).

Programmes like Doctor Who and Top Gear - which, let's face it, are too masculine and white for today's BBC sensibilities - can easily be transferred from the BBC to other channels where they'll do perfectly fine.

In fact, Doctor Who will be much better on another channel. Gone are the days when it was simply a family sci-fi series which didn't push any agendas: just simply a sci-fi. Nowadays, though, especially under Moffat, Doctor Who is now just packed full of homosexual references The gay lobby has taken it over and it's packed full of people of the same gender kissing each other and the Doctor himself always intimating that he's gay (like James Bond, the character has become less manly and more "metrosexual" in recent years). Transferring Doctor Who over to ITV will be the best thing to happen to the show.

Ukip are right to want a slimmed down BBC and most licence fee payers would agree with them. The BBC is run by an out-of-touch, white-working-class-hating, misandrist elite.

wrong, he lost horribly.

He's not lost a debate yet.

He's also nine points ahead in the polling in the Thanet South constituency in Kent in which he is standing in the election and the hot favourite to become its Ukip MP. I'll look forward to Mr Farage shaking the House of Commons to its core and just saying it as it is and not taking any silly nonsense just as he has done for the last 16 years or so as the South East of England's Ukip MEP in the EU Parliament.

ukip is a garbage party supported only by the scummiest britishers.

Where's your evidence for this? Ukip is now a mainstream party who have now replaced the Tories as the main opposition to Labour across swathes of northern and eastern England. They are a party supported by ordinary people who are fed up with the staid, boring, Establishment parties like Labour, Tories and LibDems who have a nasty habit of ignoring their concerns over things like immigration in a way that Ukip don't.

thise EDL neo nazi gimps love UKIP.

EDL aren't neo-Nazis. They are patriotic heroes who don't want the country to be overrun by Islamofascism. How is that racist?

Also, so what if some EDL heroes support Ukip? Millions of people do and they will pick up millions of votes on May 7th and could form part of a Tory-led coalition government.
