As likely as not you have talk radio over there. I can`t cope wiith J O`Brien on the grounds that his is a Talk show where none but him gets to talk. I listen to LBC Radio on my way to work each morning. From 7am to 10am ( I think ) it`s the Nick Farrari Show. He let`s people / callers to his show dig in - with their oppinions. James O`Brien, it seems to me, likes to `put us right` according to his own oppinions. But in all ways I love talk radio over here, since for the most part most presenters open up their show with questions... and shortly are at the answering end of pertinent questions. You must have similar radio shows over there yonder ? In short, James O`Brian can`t shut up i his show.

"Hopefully, lot's of people can speak different languages". But if they speak those languages on a train he feels uncomfortable, but he says he doesn't object to it. But, because he doesn't object, just uncomfortable, he raises it on a national platform as a complaint, and his children don't have english as a first language, but he doesn't mind if they speak German at home, but does mind if someone else has english as a 2nd language, but then hopes lots of people can speak different languages.

This was NOT an interview. Constant interruptions, manipulative twisting of words. The issue about speaking in different languages is that you don't know what people are saying. People also feel uncomfortable when people whisper. To me other languages don't make me uncomfortable but it's unfair to brand people as racist for this. He then tries to define racism which is perfectly acceptable, people define terms all the time in debates in order to make sure they're on the right page and this "interviewer" cheaply uses it to avoid defining it (makes it harder to twist peoples' words then) and implies that Nigel doesn't know what racism is.

LOL - there was no attempt at insulting your lack of intelligence... you are a UKIP supporter, that is suggestive enough that you are lacking intelligence without the need of me to add insult. I was merely offering a plausible explanation as to how you misheard the interview concerning foreign languages that clearly portrays Farage as a hypocrite. Obviously, an alternative explanation to your delusion is your lack of intelligence. Besides, nobody is arguing whether challenging UKIP's ideology helps or hinders the party... I am arguing that Farage is a hypocrite and that UKIP supporters would excuse the man of just about anything. You could catch Farage having sex with an 8 year old boy and UKIP supporters would have an excuse to deny that he was a paedo. BUT, just like Farage you are trying to win an argument by completely ignoring what is being argued.

[@NymeriaMeliae]

The interviewer is first discussing people not using English on a train. There was no way for Farage to know if those people did not also speak English. When I am in public with my spouse, I rarely use English because I don't want other people listening in to what we are discussing. It does not mean I can't speak English - I was born here and my paternal line came to this country in 865AD. I have a mix of Viking, Angle, Scot, Irish, and Norman blood - in other words I am as British as they come. I find it slightly amusing that people who come to this country and are either immigrants, or second or third generation immigrants (let's remember Farage's great grandfather came from Germany), seem to think it is fine to dictate about immigration controls and try to revive racialism in a perverted notion that they are trying to protect traditional British culture. The interviewer also pointed out to Farage that it is a fallacy to presume that South London children at school do not also speak English as well as another language. He was pointing out that they are no different to Farage's own family. Farage's wife is German, his children are half German, they use German at home, and German is the mother tongue of his children. In other words, he is a hypocrite. Seriously, if you have a problem with immigration into this country then why not live up to your own convictions and leave... go back to where you come from instead of trying to change a proud tradition that our isles have held. I have no problem with you being in my country, I couldn't care what language you spoke, but I do find your own hypocrisy rather irksome. After all I am assuming by your profile that you are or were Argentinian... a country that is renowned by the saying: "the Argentinians are Italians who speak Spanish, act French and wish they were British"... Hardly a base from which to criticise immigration in the UK.

[@NymeriaMeliae]

I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy of your posts by using your own arguments and the arguments of many UKIP members who want to stop immigration because they feel their sense of Britishness is being eroded. I have nothing against immigration to this country. I welcome it. It is not me that is espousing the proud tradition of these isles - re-read what I wrote. I think that culture is like language, it is constantly evolving and when it becomes static it has a habit of dieing out. When different cultures meet, it is best to embrace the best bits and forge ahead with a new culture. I welcome the merging of cultures into new cultures not the attempt to protect an illusion of tradition and not an attempt to integrate people into that illusion. There is no and has never been a singular British or even English identity. We are too regional. Not everywhere in the UK is subject to the pressures of immigration. Where I live they are closing schools and hospitals because there are not enough people to keep them economically viable. We are losing people from my region of the UK because of a lack of investment and they are moving to the South East in search of work. The problems that the South East is facing is as much to do with the domestic population migrating there in search of work as it is to do with immigration. As much as a London based media would like you to believe, you can't take the problems unique to the South East of England and apply it to the rest of the UK. If you count the number of people who have left the UK since the 18th century to present day and compare it to the number of people who have come into the UK during that time period - the figures are almost exactly the same. The problem is two-fold - first population distribution - we have a concentration in the South East while other areas of the UK are sparse (this is linked with regional investment - or lack of).... second, our population has risen because of improved hygiene and living standards meaning people are living longer. You need only go back to the generation that experienced WWII to a time where the majority of people had either lost or knew someone who had lost a child to sickness. Now it is almost unheard of... it is a rare enough occurrence that the majority of people do not personally know someone who has lost a child to sickness (of course it still happens but not as often). Population increase has more to do with domestic living standards than it does with immigration.

I don't want to give the impression that I've anything personal against James O'Brien but I simply had to tune in to his radio slot today after Ukip's win in Rochester and Strood, and there he was moaning about somebody having English/British flags on display outside their home. He pretended that he wasn't offended by the actual flags but that they were made of polyester and one displayed a football team logo: talk about disingenuous. It's a fair bet that he hates any sign of Englishness and Britishness but if they had been the flags of Zimbabwe or the West Indies, he would have been all in favour regardless of what they were made of. I switched him off and a couple of hours later, switched on to get the news and this time ( surprise, surprise) he was banging on about Ukip: gone was the phony James jollyness and he was back in disgruntled mode calling Ukip, among other things, a pantomime party. Well Mr O'Brien, few things could be more of a pantomime than a party that promises a referendum in 2017 even though they could well be out of office by then...unless it be your own increasingly neurotic hatred of a party that actually grows in strength every time you seek to undermine it.

Farage cam onto the station to be asked questions regarding the Local and EU election, instead he is attacked for no good reason with questions which completely ignored his answers, everytime Nigel gave a reasonable explanation he was soon after shut down by the interviewer not listening to his points.
