On Sky TV ''The Pledge'' the panelists seems to be more like 50/50 or most debates including Brexit. BBC News biassed towards leave, no doubt at all.
In a way, its just like in some tin pot Dictatorship Countries where General elections take place then if the result does not favour the person in power, so the Leader of the Country chooses to ignore the result declares the election invalid and stays in power !! In 2016 the Uk voted in a referendum as to leave or stay in the EU, the Uk voted to leave the EU and those in charge have chosen not to honour the vote and the can has been kicked down the road !!
I find the amount of radio and air time fringe nutters like IDS, Farage and Francois get, giving an implied credibility to some unbelievably nonsensical BS, to be a failure from the BBC. Very rare to listen to the Today Programme without one of them popping up. And then you have evidently pro-Brexit hosts like John Humphrys and Andrew Neil (who is chair of the media group that owns the Spectator, lest we forget.)
Farage is a disgusting and shameless self-publicist. Truly depressing that a man that seems to hate every aspect of modern Britain is lauded as this great patriot.

I note that you've chosen not to argue against him being a vile self-serving racist. That really would be a "Mission Impossible" scenario.

I’m sure he is. But as a journalist and presenter on the bbc, it’s not your job to ask leading questions according to your bias, quite the opposite, in fact.

Unfortunately because only 150 MP's voted for leaving, there are not that many to choose from. Therein lies the problem.
Just one other point about Farage. He was a member of the conservative party. In 1993 when the the Maastricht treaty was agreed by parliament, but only by the speakers vote, did he resign and set up UKip.

Re: Farage on Marr
Andrew Marr's interview with Farage, well hardly any questions about Brexit, the single most important issue in the country probably at the moment, so pretty well sums up what the interviewer was trying to do.....or avoid in this case !! Can Marr also have Mrs May on there and ask her if she still stand's by "I will deliver the BREXIT people asked for" and "No deal is better than a bad deal" !! Or even better, let us have 80% of any of the MP's on there and ask "Do you still agree with your manifesto promise, that you were elected on, that you will support this ''Once in a generation vote'' there will be no going back, the people have spoken and we will deliver on that result" Not a chance of this happening, I mean after all, this is the ''Brussels Broadcasting Consortium'' !

Re: Farage on Marr
The BBC has always been biased, no doubt about it.
Max, whilst you may dislike Farage which your perfectly entitled to do, I'd suggest his neither a fascist nor a proto fascist. His views may be alien and the opposite of what you believe in, but throwing both those comments in the argument cheapens any point you wish to convey. Also he doesn't stack up as either and certainly not against what they mean in the real world.

Re: Farage on Marr
If you think Farage has a "very clear simple message" then what is it? He's a racist scumbag with his own agenda - which is basically for his own gratification and egotism (and no doubt more than a few bob on the side). If you truly think he's championing the British people in their desire for Brexit then I truly do despair.

Probably because most people have access to the BBC over any other platform so their voice is heard the loudest.

Re: Farage on Marr
He is a Putin loving, Trump loving racist. Just remember, Russia interfered in the last referendum and they still are at it. His buddy Trump is now owned by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, Russia and Egypt. They want a war with Iran and are wrecking Yeman and Libya, nor that these countries needed more outside interference. The people need to wake up to these bullies (wannabe dictators) who try to get the media to cover them the way they want. Propaganda kings. He is again trying to get the people of the UK to walk over a cliff. Wake up people, wake up. The labour party needs a new leader and they need to come out now as pro remain. Cut the BS and games.
