He tweeted: "If Fawlty Towers is now being removed by the BBC then humour is dead".

Anthing but my dear little racist swivel-eyed loon........given that it was actually taken down from the UKTV streaming service.

What a TW@T!

Nigel Farage makes the left very uncomfortable.

He speaks sense much of the time, very rarely loses an argument, and has won over a lot of the labour supporters in the white working class that Labour used to be able to call their own, the same people who can no longer vote Labour because it no longer appeals to them.

Of course, the standard response to him once the left have nothing to counter with is to simply call him a "racist" - job done, argument over.

Quite honestly, he doesn't make me feel uncomfortable at all.

If anything, he actually inspires me to continue being a Socialist. Basically because whilst sickening little racist lunatics like him are still drawing breath, I know that the fight for fairness and equality must continue.

He makes me uncomfortable, that point I agree with. He is very, very good at what he does and has been incredibly successful at it.

What were you left wing on and what changed for you? (Without wishing to pre-judge your answer, please don't say 'age' or 'growing up', I mean specifics of how that occurred)

Very union oriented in working life and upbringing, finally saw the light when Labour opened the doors to anyone to come here hoping that they would in return vote for them, wanting to change our culture to their way of thinking, in so doing change our society to what they want, I don't recall labour asking us if we wanted anything like that.

Oh really?

• In the 13 years that Labour were in office, between 1997 and 2010, net migration to the UK by non-Britons totalled three million.

• Since the Conservatives took office in 2010, net migration to the UK by non-Britons has totalled 2.7 million.

Did the Tories ask you then?

Your words, representative of oh so many brainwashed racist automatons, clearly have the depth of a grain of sand.

Yes really, you sarky little guy, don't bother replying all your interested in is a slanging match, your a nothing.

Immigration under the Blair government 1997 to 2010 increased exponentially from less than 50k to a high of 273k. Since then migration levels have remained fairly static at that higher level, reversing it is never as easy to do as it is to say, as the Tories found out with their <100k yearly ambition.

Obviously not all immigration is a bad thing but, as usual, anyone who raises a legitimate concern about the impact it has on their life or even just wants to debate it is branded a "brainwashed racist."

You just cannot help yourself.

How is quoting statistics sarcasm?

I would have thought that, given your Username, you would have enjoyed having some numbers to look at?

Monsieur Farage truly is a vile little self-serving creature, isn't he.

Yep, thanks for that drivel from a Brexit-supporting, arse-wipe newspaper.

Hasn't explained how he's been isolating for 14 days though, has it?

Pictured on the evening of 20th June in the USA.

Earliest he could have flown back was therefore 21st June; arriving back next morning on 22nd June.

22nd June - 4th July..........is that 14 days then?

Some people eh? Continue to believe any old codswallop spouted by proven liars.

The online left having a collective meltdown over a Farage tweet. Reporting him to the police for going to the pub and arguing about when he could have returned to the UK.

Thus creating the backlash to the backlash that he's built a career on. He plays you mugs to keep himself relevant and you always deliver

Like him or not, he's shaped the political climate and the direction the UK has gone for the last 10 years. What happens in the future is his legacy

They're in agreement with each other.

He creates the backlash then they get to write the outrage stories and portray the entire left as over reactionary/thin skinned and let Farage play the establishment is out to get me card

A leader of a party in the house of commons reporting him to plod for Twitter likes is the exact reaction he would have wanted out of today

Indeed. Leaving the EU was pretty much a non topic amongst the general public and without even a seat in parliament he pulled off his life’s ambition. Possibly the greatest living politician.

Farage was tested for Covid 19 and was negative. You're cribbing over one day , big deal. Anyway why didn't that Pratt Ed Davey complain about the protestors rioting a couple of weeks ago . I'm sure they wasn't practicing social distancing yet not a peep out of him. Hypocrite .

Actually, I think it's two days, isn't it?

Of course, Farage has not yet revealed which flight he returned on. I wonder why that is?

Irrespective of one day or two days, he's broken the 14 day isolation rule. Isn't that the crux of the story here?

Meanwhile, why do you actually believe, at face value, that he was tested for Covid-19? Because he has said so? Have we had any proof of that - or in a similar vein to his interpretation of having been back from the USA for 'two weeks', are you just willing to accept that he's telling the truth; particularly given his 'previous' for outright lies?

Test or no test, he should still have upheld the law and remained in isolation for 14 days. He can clearly count the number of days - given he was boasting it was his first real pint in 103 of them!

Afterall, isn't this the same Mr. Farage who was critical of Dominic Cummings for breaking the Lockdown rules? Just a little bit of hypocrisy there don't you think?

Lest we forget his recent little boating trip on the English Channel, looking for illegal immigrants. Wasn't he breaking lockdown rules there either?

You probably think not.

Not often we agree Pammy but 100% on this. He needs to be treated like an irrelevance. Us on the left need to stop falling into the most obvious of traps that Farage and his ilk leave lying around. As for Ed Davey, WTF?

Ed Davey is a tw*t.

Like him or not, its hard to ignore the impact he has had on British politics over the past decade. As you say, achieving his life's ambition whilst not having a seat in Parliament is quite extraordinary. Compare his achievements to many who have been in more prominent positions and its astounding.

Whether you agree with him or not, like him or not, its impossible to ignore his impact.

And he is articulate and entertaining.
