Nigel Farage Attacks British Broadcasters During Bad-Tempered Weekend & Says His Party Will “Campaign Vigorously To Abolish The Licence Fee”


Nigel Farage has attacked the BBC & Channel 4 over Question Time bias and Andrew Parker during a bad-tempered general election weekend.

Farage, who became leader of Reform several weeks back and stepped down from his GB News presenting job, took umbrage with what he deemed a critical, biased audience, one of whom called him a racist and another asked why his party attracted extremists. The campaigner in question, Andrew Parker, was filmed using the ‘P-word’ to describe Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, referred to Islam as a “cult” and suggested army recruits should shoot asylum seekers. Farage’s attack on the broadcasters comes as the election campaign becomes ever more bad tempered, buttressed of late by the gambling scandal and a moody debate between Sunak and the opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer on the BBC last Thursday.
