[@brynmiller7547]

This woman did her darnedest to trip Nigel up, but failed miserably.

[@megafraudbuster4124]

BBC ..at its best ..BULLSHIT COOPERATION

[@speedy2004ful]

He's got my vote!

[@chrisforester777]

I only see a desperate liberal journalist completely frustrated by Nigel Farage's wisdom.

[@ToonandBBfan]

Nigel is the 21st century variant of Winston Churchill

[@wjumeau]

+ToonandBBfan Old Winston was a drunk and sacrificed Brits in a needless war to pay his debt back to his Zionist Jew handlers..... no need to insult Farage like that.....

[@AudaciouslyDeluded]

Willy Wonky The truth from the perspective of a person that shares the same world views as Hitler did.

[@wjumeau]

Stephen Duncan really...... I suppose we can say the same about the Queen, or the Jewish Wall St bankers who financed him.

[@gingernut5880]

+Graham Taylor That is not funny, not even as a JOKE. there are enough nutters out there are just sick enough to latch on to it. Please be careful

[@olliirminsul3418]

+ToonandBBfan Well, I hope he is not going to bomb German civilians by the tens of thousands...

[@pobinr]

She is vile. Bating the man who's trying to save our country !

[@geordie1032]

+pobinr All the BBC interviewers try to poke holes in UKIP's policies and standings but they never succeed. Nigel is just too good for them.

[@anotevans]

Very good, Nigel Farage instinctively knows how to deal with the hostile questioner!

[@stewarthills9344]

He has had a lot of experience with such 'interviewers' across his time XD

[@dieterhofner7043]

I love the way she smiles while she is asking him about the hugenots then Nigel answers the question extremly well formulated and comfortable.

[@cett1149]

It's very clear what the interviewer is doing. saying "but" far too many times, ignoring genuine concerns and moving back to "but the dying children"

[@mikejohns8074]

I love he slapped all her leading questions back in her face

[@dottieme3848]

Well done Nigel Farage, you are a breath of fresh air, thank you for telling it as it is...

[@IamSpartacus1984]

Farage is just brilliant. Vote Leave.

[@mikeshadez]

we do need to preserve our country the right way people need to know what really going on, what Nigel is saying you really can't deny, It dangerous having a open door to British, the stupid people in EU aren't telling the truth why can't we control are borders,

[@bmarkyt132]

Nigel for PM!

[@booth2710]

Number of churches in Saudi Arabia - 0. Number of churches in Iran - 0 Number of churches in Palestine 0 and so on ... says it all.

[@lzrsswensen2401]

Thank you Nigel for speaking up for freedom and Britain

[@gribwitch]

Can't get enough of Nigel Farage. He says what others are reluctant to, or won't.

[@yutyuiiu]

stupid is as stupid does

[@gribwitch]

@@yutyuiiu Given the oppressive tactics and anti human statements coming out of E.U countries like Germany, Austria and Holland - the stupid one is you.

[@odinistorder]

Perhaps that shows why you need to flush your head out. "Drain the swamp" within.

[@MrResearcher122]

This Farage is a master of the smart response. How a man like that-one of the best politicians of our generation-is not in Parliament shows how low that building has sunk. Even the personal attack on one French ancestor 400 years ago, the man responded as if her question was reasonable and not ludicrous.

[@aldrinvallejo2404]

I have a huge admiration of this brave politician! Well done Nigel!!

[@get2rog]

I don't in essence support Ukip but Farage speaks more common sense than every other politician has in decades.

[@mijicmugendo]

Do you still think that now? 🤣

[@oscarosullivan4513]

Would that politician be Enoch Powell the arch racist

[@Ringofire280]

I want a Nigel Farage for America...

[@totalwarking7839]

+CommonFable Have him

[@adamusein]

Call him Nigel Trump

[@elenigeela]

AND AUSTRALIA

[@ghostaccountlmao]

His name is Ron Paul.

[@TheKing60210]

Donald Trump

[@JohnyBuzzkillKidd]

Never supported UKIP because it tended to attract the most ignorant and racist of people, But Nigel himself has always spoke common sense. Even now the BBC keeps trying to push him into a corner.

[@JohnyBuzzkillKidd]

***** It's only defunct because the election is over and the racists out in the street chanting UKIP have gone back to their council flats. The racist backing of UKIP is still out there. Not saying they all are, but the UKIP election did attract the worst of Britain. Not a judgement on them, more of a catagorisation of all the people so frustrated with their lives that the only way they thought they could change it was loudly and publicly. I'm not for leaving the EU, it has its benefits. It just needs changing and Britain to have a higher standing within. Something we won't get from David Camerons' Tory government. I'm a reform guy.

[@shebakali6]

This woman is clearly out of her depth.

[@humanforfreedom9583]

Just a slave of her globalist masters. I actually pity those that sell their soul like her, they have no self respect nor respect for their country.

[@elaynekingston8802]

Brilliant! Excellent interview. Well done Farage.

[@Whoami691]

I tend to swing left politically, but i would never vote for anyone other than Nigel. This interviewer has a goddamn agenda.

[@ThePennyPincher]

+Whoami691 You aren't the only one who noticed that.

[@thebobbs6999]

Mr Farage is so adept at batting away any potentially awkward question effortlessly, convincingly and with panache. Delightful to watch.

[@justdrive4628]

Nigel has my vote

[@lukepiotr]

Farage is a courageous, patriotic and smart guy. Great speaker too!

[@martynjohnstone6022]

I'm normally a huge admirer of Kirsty Walk but frankly I thought she significantly underperformed in this interview and I'm by far a UKIP supporter.

[@ilovemynewjacket1507]

He speaks for about a billion people in Europe

[@gdfggggg]

So refreshing, no bullshit.

[@sophiewang4989]

He's actually talking lots of sense

[@roncouch]

Farage’s fluent articulation is a breath of fresh air after listening to Boris blustering through every interview I’ve ever witnessed…….

[@gribwitch]

I sense some hostility from this interviewer.....

[@Dunnlrs]

Great interview by NF. She tried, she tried hard but she didn't get the answers she wanted to hear, answers that she could use to spin against NF. Sadly the BBC is not what it use to be namely impartial. The public are increasingly see this now at the cost of the BBC loosing its standing increasingly as a viable and serious news broadcaster.

[@Tokiohotel192]

+Dunnlrs Yeah exactly, lets keep bringing up the ''dying or shoe less'' children stories. It's the go to card when avoiding the realism of the topic. BBC really is losing it's mind and it's followers isn't it haha

[@geordie1032]

+Kristiana Wilson Isn't it good we have alternative sources of news media on the internet where we can get the real news? Many people are waking up to the biased BBC and are becoming very unpopular.

[@Tokiohotel192]

Geordie 103 Holy crap yes! I find the lack of interest of people causes them to only focus what's at their face. Sad because that's the only information the base their opinions on. Donald Trump is the perfect example of media at it's worse lol

[@thewh00ster]

Based Farage

[@spaghetticode1622]

NF: It is that we are opening our door to jihadist... BBC: But that is an assumption, you can't assume. Somebody needs to grow a brain.

[@bobbarkerswrinklednutsac541]

My God, I wish Canada had a politician like Nigel.

[@gribwitch]

Geert Wilders anyone ? On immigration and the dangers of muslimisation of Europe he's more direct than Nigel. And no, he's not racist, he's a patriot. Fearlessly saying what needs to be said.

[@kwynrhys]

Nigel Farage is awesome! I hope Britain does the right thing and votes for this.

[@countryside_guy]

You will always have my vote Nigel, just NEVER EVER stand down!!!!!! Britain NEEDS you, you WILL be in power, just be patient.

[@colinnixon7055]

nigel farage.m.e.p. im in complete agreement in leaving this OUTDATED EUROPEAN UNION.? its common sense after all.!!!?!!!?.

[@yujiruffhanma3095]

So why have about a million National Insurance Numbers been given out to so-called temporary migrants?

[@Cleric775]

So they can generate more revenue within the Corporation of Great Britain.

[@Ariadne7710]

Why do BBC interviewers see themselves as inquisitors whose job is to discredit any interviewee who is not a committed leftist multiculturalist and apologist for Muslim jihadists? Is that what our licence fee is for? Or is it to have an open discourse on migration which is something which is worrying most law abiding citizens who are concerned about uncontrolled migration which allows anyone from anywhere in the world to claim that they are fleeing for their lives

[@HHHKingofKings58]

"My real concern is that we are opening our doors to Jihadism and that is the single most serious threat from this whole crisis." "But that is an assumption, you can not assume." Already, at least one attacker in Paris is known to have gained refugee status with a Syrian passport. Farage was right. Vote UKIP and kick the Jihadists out.

[@bieituns]

Some rediculous questions there. These people are on another planet, they just don't get it and never will. lost cause and pissing against the wind come to mind.

[@Jonchess]

Farage is spot on- interpret the definition of refugee as defined by the Geneva convention and international law as to what qualifies as a refugee not the EU illegal one.

[@pobinr]

Nigel for PM. Fkn Brussels Broadcasting Corporation presenters always like to pose endless crass questions rather than accept plain common sense

[@hyacynths]

The Best politician of our age!! BELIEVE IN BRITAIN, BELIEVE IN UKIP!!!

[@moeverill]

Nigel Farage is the only man with the guts to tell it like it is, but I couldn't bear to listen to this self righteous woman. Well done to him for keeping his cool!

[@squintyjohn1231]

Good old nigel. Top bloke. I vote ukip. Save Great Britain get our borders back.

[@buttonsg1]

Like him or loathe him, support UKIP or not, you can't deny that is the most skillful interviewee any party currently has.

[@dealerovski82]

He told her!

[@theymademedoit6814]

Oh she tried and tried .He just tackles her with facts and truth ....and with that ,she's snookered .

[@ggggg-h9s]

Right again..

[@daledorsett9791]

While it is usually a good policy to be generous we must guard our hearts and our countries from those who are not interested in becoming citizens, who are just out for profit or out to grow in an area and take over it or out to terrorize or be criminals. Islam laughs at our foolishness and people that are so destructive of countries as Obama is of America -- attacking any who hold Islam accountable for its actions. If a person comes here to change our country, subvert it, take over it , or terrorize it they are CRIMINALS and NO COUNTRY should be so generous of heart that their reasoning is not only STUPID but leads to chaos and destruction.

[@terenchion1]

This man is the best politician in the UK, shame he aint the PM..... brilliant guy.....

[@arturka4169]

I'm from europe and support this man UK citizens should stand up for own interests

[@spartacusvikinga]

This shows the true representation of the common people. The BBC is clearly left wing. This was also apparent on a recent "Question Time" and on the TV debates up to the GE. You, the people who can't see this are deluded. Ge out of your bubble and wake up! I love my fellow man/woman... the trouble is they don't feel the same...Politics sucks.

[@TheBloodyGash]

she is clearly not doing a good job as a journalist, she doesn't listen when he speaks, she is already thinking about what kind of bs to say next

[@jaytheman9271]

3:50 to 4:00 the refusal to help persecuted Christian immigrants at the expense of economic migrants should make front news daily. Any journalist who is self righteous or virtue signals to the point that he advocates for non-Christian immigrants only commits a horrendously big sin. How dare Cameron behave that way?

[@RJTrezise1983]

Damn... he doesn't fall for any of her crap does he?

[@CM-bx4ut]

Thank christ for Nigel Farage.

[@AMindInOverdrive]

I don't support any politican party and am not from the UK, but this woman is so obviously just levelling one allegation after another. Notice also how she doesn't acknowledge his logical answers, she just moves to the next slanderous question/comment. Shameful 'journalism' These tactics actually backfired because Nigel Farage comes over very respectful and honest, whereas she (and the bbc) come across very petty and obviously biased against the political party. The real question left then is exactly WHO are they biased FOR, and WHY is that the case? Shouldn't the media (e4specially a national broadcaster) be unbiased so as to deliver accurate unbiased news!

[@abymunoz4424]

I am mexican , but I admire this man is so honest, patriot and inteligent !

[@sylviclark9683]

Nigel and UKIP have my vote and as a paid up member they always will receive my support. Keep the good work up Nigel, ignore the leftie, tree hugging loonies.

[@Munk-v9c]

These are migrants not refugees! The refugees are camped in the surrounding areas People are forgetting the 280 million Christians on the run who are fleeing Islam

[@BlackPride1000]

Britain go back to the Empire... USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, West Indies, Ghana, Nigeria, India The Nations are Many You Dont need The EU

[@rosariolimjoco5889]

Go go Nigel! crush and crumble BBC

This man should be PM of UK and BBC should be sold and dismantled.

[@markclare7040]

Talks a lot of sense with hindsight.... Attracted to a Politician with a real time grasp of a situation. Voices common Concerns.

[@routeman680]

What daft questions from Kirsty Wark, raising irrelevancies and ad hominem objections instead of dealing with issues. She cannot accept that there are issues which do not fit the left-wing right-wing dichotomy, like sovereignty and immigration. It is great to hear Farage explain the issues cogently . How different from the smooth, vacuous, contradictory sound bites of Cameron and Co.

[@hermanPla]

You can't barrage the Farage!

[@johnhales4864]

Listening to NF makes it really easy to make my mind up, that and IDS together with Michael Gove.

[@boshankers12]

Typical Bbc journalist. More interested in her own questions than her interviewees answers.

[@rickzw67]

BBC Needs an overhaul possibly privatized. I am shocked at this womans hostile attitude towards anything conservative.

[@davidjones-di7fd]

Oh Britain is so mean, only taking 20 000 refugees, over 4 years, when on average for the last 15 years, we have had around 500 000 people, migrated to our tiny island every year. It has turned us into a third world country, the rich have become alot richer and the poor alot poorer.

[@keithhakansson1988]

Thanks to this guy the UK has been cut adrift and is about to break up on the rocks, the Scots need another vote they didn't know the English would have been stupid enough to listen to this guy

[@usakindatheartflower6229]

Britain you better start voting far right so u can get some balance in your legeslating houses. Get rid of Cameron, vote Nigel, and get the heck out of the EU!

[@jasonmckittrick8022]

typical BBC interview non objective and very petty attempts at point scoring but for whom. almost sounds like a cross party argument when they interview but having said that wow what a response from Nigel, cool calm and collected and delivered strong stern confident responses.

[@TheMacedonianGeneral]

The BBC are beyond biased at this point. Your duty is to the people BBC. Your duty is to report all sides of an argument. Don't pick sides BBC.

[@preciouspups4116]

She is so detached from reality she will only see the light when it catches up with her

[@ArcturusGold]

When the referendum shows a 'Yes' to leave, showing that UKIP and especially Nigel Farage was right all along about having his pulse on the Nation's fortunes and the majority of those in agreement to leave, will the likes of all the aggressive, sneering interviewers apologise to Nigel personally for their sometime appalling and sometime unforgivable contemptuous attitude to him and for what he stood for/stands for? Of course not, they will applaud David Cameron somehow for having the referendum and whatever the outcome is. However, since it is not binding in any way, it is just another academic exercise. If the will of the people is not honoured and there is a Yes to leave the EU then David Cameron et alla should all resign.

[@Carl-im9gh]

Nigel is right, as usual.

[@thejudgehasjudged]

The BBC should be closed down and relegated to the history books.

[@griffineagle7]

People may disagree with some of statements but it doesn't mean to say he's wrong All of the Time ..

[@harolddburke4726]

He came from the Political mess with common sense. Political Conservatives are needed to preserve Europe itself.

[@taterbug6793]

you people in Britain need to break for the EU

[@PeterKlok]

The Huguenots were not from an alien culture with a religion that really wanted to usurp the country that took them in.

[@mogznwaz]

He makes a good point that big migrations in the past were smaller and over a long period of time which helped them fully assimilate. Refugees should be temporary not permanent residents, we should also prioritise Christian, atheist, gay and other persecuted minorities who are more likely to assimilate and not blow us up. Makes sense!

[@christinepreston48]

It's not even about that we are opening the doors to terrorism. Many people object to their country's tradition dying, being lost, and it's not about religion but culture. We like the British culture and its history and object to having mosques all over the place and people wearing veils that cover their faces. It's because it's a different culture and it changes the environment if there tens of thousands of muslims in the streets. They can practice their religion at home. When we visit Islamic countries we are asked to remove our shoes to go in a mosque. Well why can't these people adapt to the British culture in their situation? The knights who took part in the Crusades hundreds of years ago must be turning in their graves!

[@MusbCrazy80]

wow...the BBC letting someone who doesn't toe the establishment line speak

[@paultweedley2026]

Farage sharp as usual 👍

[@romevo100]

Love Farage the BBC keeps trying to discredit him but he keeps hammering them back

[@gameram2158]

we need to act now out of eu

[@anniemoonmaid]

if only he was our prime minister!

We should take the 16 children they keep re-filming, and their families, but as for the millions of young third world men...nah don't think that will work out.
