I'm guessing that now there are actually questions for Farage to answer, he won't be on Question Time for a change?

Who decides what qualifies as ‘banter’?
It’s really simple…
The person on the receiving end.
Think about it.
Banter is inclusive, it’s teasing, play-fighting, give and take among friends.
What Farage is attempting here is to socialise racial bullying.
“I laughed, it was hilarious!”

Farage's racism has been on the record for twenty six years.
But sure, he's not a racist.

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Truly grotesque that the BBC chose to describe the *victim* of Graham Linehan's *crime* for which he was *convicted* in these terms. I can only conclude that this is now standard BBC editorial practice for referring to trans people, regardless of context. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Imagine if 2000 children had gone missing from boarding schools. How much outrage there would be. Imagine how quickly there would be demands for inquiries and actions. Instead because these are unaccompanied asylum seeking children they will either be ignored or blamed for being trafficked.
How is this not the top story on every news bulletin?
This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.
