Here’s a great review of the BBC programme that was on a few nights ago called “Nigel Farage gets his life back” by David Sedgwick!
“Hell hath no fury like the BBC scorned. BBC2’s Nigel Farage Gets His Life Back proved just as much, over and over and over again. And some more.”
Do click the link above and read the full expose of the bias that runs through this onslaught on Farage. Odd how they never did do Ed Miliband gets his life back as a BBC comedy but then again he would need to have one on the first place!
I spotted this programme in the schedule and, in my naivity, expected to watch a proper biopic (albeit biased). But, no, it turned out to be a farcical and stupid spoof, or at least the first two minutes did before I turned it off. To get the bad taste out of my mouth, I found this splendid interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyL5w7MtrtY Oh that the BBC had interviewers like this – polite, uninterrupting and attentive to what the interviewee is saying. And what good sense and vision the real Nigel Farage has.
But for Millipede we do have the wonderful BBC political satires featuring Wallace and Grommit!
So when it comes to political balance, I think the BBC have it just about right.
Get the people who tell Ed what is on the Telly that he watches (that dates me) that it is a bandwagon going places and he’ll be demanding his own biopic!
Ed, Edd & Eddie, starring him, Balls and Izzard.
BBC is one biassed player.
The other is Google and Facebook.
It is almost a habit to google when one wants some info. But the US election has shown a consistent, deliberate and planned bias of Google against Trump,and for Clinton.
I’m going to switch from google to other search software.
The Best Search Engines of 2016!

And also use Google to search for “best search engines other then Google”. But ignore its offerings.
Mr Clinton and that woman on his plane alone together for 30 minutes eh? And The Democrats say they only talked about the weather?!
I wonder how he promised to pay her off – Gold or cash? Or was it the other way round? Bet that’s the only place in America where they don’t have CCTV!
That is a great review and it’s good to see more and more people not only waking up to BBC bias but also prepared to go into print about it.
BBC comedy is about as subtle as those screaming, spitting, bile-spewing zealots you see on demonstrations and at Uni debates to which one of their hate figures (very few now are not, so narrow are the parameters of permitted views) have been invited to speak.
It’s the same intolerant ‘We know best so shut your effing gob’ attitude, but in the BBC’s case dressed up as comedy.
HIGNFY, The News Quiz, The Now Show…..we all know the form by now.
In actual fact there are some deep flaws with Nigel Farage and the way UKIP was run , but whether they were over and above any other leading politician or political party we will never know , because debate about NF and UKIP is not done , only insults . Perhaps the BBC has done both NF and the party a favour . It can never cry the emporer has no clothes , because the BBC has undermined itself on this subject .
I should think there are a few more subscriptions to UKIP and a few less paying of the telly tax over this .
I tried to watch it, but found it so tedious and unfunny that I gave up.
I saw the program, it showed Farage as a sad, inadequate and vane person, fighting against reality and under the cosh of Political Correctness. In fact this is the only type of personality depicted in any so called BBC satire, since 1997. But then how can a Pro-Establishment Comic, satirise an Anti-Establishment radical, when the Liberal left-wing Establishment are all about Political Correctness. In fact everyone else in the program was depicted as brainwashed by Political Correctness, even the guy from UKIP.
The BBC got over the German wife problem, not by depicting her as a NAZI, as I suspected was a possibility. But by not including her, because she was far to busy to be at home with Farage.
I only knew this crap was on because Nigel Farage mentioned in on a phone in he was doing for LBC radio. He said “I don’t suppose they’re going to do me any favours…” And he was spot on!
The Beeb’s pathetic and undignified, post Brexit hubris shows no sign of abating. For God’s sake grow up; you lost…and we won!! Get over yourselves.
For those fortunate enough to be doing something more interesting Sunday evening (like cleaning out the goldfish bowl} this “satire” attempted to portray Nigel as a sad, lonely man, ranting at shadows and becoming ever more isolated. It’s how the BBC would like him to be. This was on a par with those delightful Radio 4 comedies like The Now Show, absolutely anything with Marcus Dipstick in it and that utterly puerile tripe with Miles Jupp and that simpering creep, Jeremy Hardy.
This programme was clearly aimed at middle class, left wing, Guardian reading, pseudo-intellectual luvvies. I don’t doubt that they were whooping and chortling from start to finish.
However, as for the rest of us…
Ah, but Jeff- once their whooping and chortling had finished it was they who had to return to the sad, lonely reality of defeat whilst Nigel basks in the grateful warmth of 17 million fellow Brexiteers.
Didnt watch .In fact I hardly watch anything BBC these days. I’m no Nigel fan but you cannot ignore what he achieved over the years which deserves to be properly documented.
If theres an election and Mrs May wins big ,she really should tackle the BBC once and for all.
I think Nigel’s retirement might be somewhat premature.
