Don't worry, the #FarageProtocol will still be in place so they will have to glorify him in some way otherwise he will shut #BBC down.

Great - be good to see a real journalist presenting it for once. After saying that I have no doubt someone in the Gallery will be reminding you to keep bigging up Reform druing the show...please resist.

"Net stupid zero..." say Reform according to the #BBC. Nothing from the LibDems. Why are #BBC so afraid of Farage and his troops?

Having seen the damage that gambling can cause I won't' be shedding a tear and as far as the billionaire who runs it is concerned...well... #Betfred www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Betfred says all its shops may close if Reeves hikes gambling tax
The company's co-founder says it would be forced to close all its sites, putting 7,500 jobs at risk, if gambling taxes go up.

#BBCNews clearly following the #FarageProtocol

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

Its #BBC obeying the #FarageProtocol - you could complain but you just get a standardised reply.

Shocked by this - I thought Trump was odds on favourite for winning all of the Nobel prizes from now on (regardless of category). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Voters think the country is headed in the wrong direction and most of them blame Brexit. Just LOOK at the voter breakdowns in our research.

People get it. Brexit made us poorer and the goons who sold it to us, chiefly Farage, need to held accountable.

"Ex-Reform UK leader in Wales pleads guilty to Russian bribery charges"

Nathan Gill, 52, was initially charged with eight counts of bribery and one count of conspiracy to commit bribery

I wonder if anyone has been taking a close look at Farage's bank accounts

Usual awful interviewing on Radio 4. It’s not combative, it’s offensive, demeaning and is clearly bias. Back to Radio 3!
