This is hilarious, they have better chemistry than 99% of most blind dates!

G G The lovely Cilla would have been delighted but HER blind dates were (supposedly) single people!

[@lilylolly8757]

You are right. Politically I absolutely loathe Farage and all he stands for-but Rachel is right, as a person you can’t help but like him-which in many ways is what makes him so dangerous politically. I adore Rachel, she is the perfect person to talk with him as she absolutely disarms him and gets him to talk without making him defensive. Shame she has such a twit for a brother.

[@MauriatOttolink]

@@lilylolly8757 Farage is equally disarming. Why do you find the same thing politically dangerous in someone whose views you oppose yet charming when you approve of them politically? Peers Corbyn ("Who? I hear you say!) is a World Leading Climate scientist who has (amongst many other REAL scientists) proved the Climate Project Fear to be a political hoax. He has also conclusively disproved the alleged man-made aspect of Climate Change. It's a shame that he's got a dangerous world class twit for a brother. Boris doesn't have a twit for a sister. That doesn't make him a Twit. If we didn't have to vote for our politicians but did a Dangerous Twit count amongst the parties we'd still have the same govt. in power. It wouldn't be a landslide but we'd be left in no doubt!

[@kulturfreund6631]

Perhaps you´re right. But perhaps they´re just professional celebrities who know how to act and talk entertainingly, on top of it when camera is present. They also know pretty much of each other so they don´t need to go through all the tedious basic blabla.

[@sxr_WhiteRose]

Maybe so, but I think it more important that we find levels where we can find agreement, or just share a joke, or love of music. Too often we get tied up on a single subject and frankly become bores, when there is so much to us. How else did the "Chuckle Brothers", Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness help diffuse The Troubles in Northern Ireland and reach agreements on power sharing? I think we should all remember how multifaceted we are, and seek common ground wherever possible to achieve compromise, or if not, to at least accept difference in people, and rub along.

[@MauriatOttolink]

S Robinson. By way of contrast, Corbyn and many of his cronies come over as seriously nasty pieces of work. Even if I were fully behind his policies, I would still have the same image.

[@sxr_WhiteRose]

@@MauriatOttolink I think the article which appeared in the Daily Mail, which showed extracts from ex-wife Jane Chapman suggested that Jezza was a Trotskyite Communist, and his idea of a dinner date was cold Tesco baked beans (not even from the Co-op) from a tin, and siging IRA songs, after a night out on the beer! So I agree with you entirely. He and his buddies wouldn't be much fun round a dinner table, or in any conversational situation for that matter. I'm minded of Labour Minister, Sir Stafford Cripps who bored Stalin to sleep in a mission to Moscow after WWII. www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6686535/amp/Cold-Tesco-baked-beans-sitting-floor-singing-IRA-songs.html

Rachel Johnson is conflating two different types of democracy, Direct and Representational. In the main we are governed by representational democracy, i.e. each MP 'represents' us. Rarely we switch to direct democracy and the people directly instruct the government on a specific question, i.e a referendum. The idea being that the electorate answer a question directly and government acts on the outcome. In the case of the Leave/Remain referendum, the Remainer's not happy with the result have decided to blur the lines by slyly using representational democracy. They are fudging the two types together. In a true democracy it's either one or the other, they don't mix!

[@jimmygoode9482]

The best of British. Lovely people I wish all remainders could be so lovely lol

[@russellgreenwood684]

I loved this, bloody sweethearts the both of them.

[@fleur3986]

Excellently hilarious. Love these two, especially Nigel

[@hanlonkeane4220]

brilliant, love both sides of the spectrum showing that they can get along! Sets a great example

[@hughfranklin4002]

We owe this great man a lot, he should be knighted, or given a peerage. Thank you Nigel.

[@damianlunt9003]

Loved this, well done great idea kept me smiling and watching LOL :)

[@Thorpean]

I'd love to see these two get together...I think they have chemistry.

7:49 2017 Person- I bet he wont run for eu parliament, To weak or brexit will be over! 2019 Nigel Farage- hold my beer.

[@blazednlovinit]

I'm liking these, political discourse should be cordial.

[@jochengrohe8619]

Great format. So sad you want to leave us. We are losing a piece of our heart. You are always welcome back.

[@malaika2940]

Absolutely amazing! Love it - priceless! I can’t believe that Nigel Farage has actually made me intrigued to look at/review the Brexit Party and it’s mandate! Incredible! Rachel Johnson is absolutely brilliant. Undoubtedly the most civil and engaging conversation about Brexit I have seen.

[@georgehh2574]

All politics aside, I can tell this is gonna be hilarious

[@maded1988]

Release the full interview. Farage starts talking about odd people in politics and it cuts out

[@phildoodler2199]

It’s ok, the answer is they’re all odd.

[@vukileadonsi189]

Conservative African immigrant. History will prove that Britain owes a lot to you Nigel, you are an intelligent, patriotic and honest Brit who only was demonized by political correctness. Thank sir Farage I salute you

[@keeptalking3494]

It does seem like they cut out farage's response at 10:40.

[@reginolinvincent2421]

outstanding, get Nancy Pelosi and trump on a date best bring an ambulance

[@rrp6405]

2:39 the way farage arrive at places is first class

[@quintaeco]

The man is blushing! wow

[@mg_claymore8611]

Nigel sounds really nice! Sound guy. He seems to have sacrificed alot for our nation.

[@kingofhornafrican.1415]

[@bobbuilder7227]

[@W..949]

bob builder don't give up your day job to become a comedian just yet mate.

[@bobbuilder7227]

we have no commonwealth so thats not going to happen

[@william_marshal]

Britain was never great, it used it's population to terrorize the world for 300 years, The British Empire was not built on trade as we are led to believe, it was built on greed, corruption and force as we plundered one country after another around the world stealing their natural resources for almost nothing ... This is why Britain today is no longer great, if it ever was, because all of those countries have learned to stand up for themselves and kick us out !!!

[@Lemonator140]

bob builder the commonwealth still exists

[@jimwest7107]

Checking in 6 years later, Eurozone is on it's ass and UK growth now ahead of the entire EU. Nice one Rachel lol.

[@miguelmarques4583]

The reason why Boris wouldn't ally with him.

[@leongarza]

Coolest thing I have seen in a very long time. They both seem very normal and less as villains of opposing parties. Cheers
