"Nigel Farage Was PROVOKING!" | Mike Graham's CLASH With Former BBC Presenter On Election Debate
Nigel Farage insisted “the bad apples are gone” from Reform UK after a series of candidates and canvassers were criticised for alleged comments they made.
But one candidate with whom that message appeared to fall flat was Liam Booth-Isherwood, who had been standing in Erewash and said there had been a “failure of leadership” over the accusations of racism.
He said he would instead be endorsing the Tory contender Maggie Throup to “stop Labour”.
Reform has confirmed it has dropped support for candidates Leslie Lilley in Southend East and Rochford; Edward Oakenfull in Derbyshire Dales; and Robert Lomas in Barnsley North.
Mike Graham and former BBC presenter Roger Bolton clash after he argues Nigel Farage is "provoking" by "claiming he's the outsider" in a Question Time row.
Mike says: "He is an outsider!"
Roger replies: "Claiming it's us against them, a 'conspiracy' - this is what you get!"

If someone is called a racist on Question Time, maybe the presenter should be asking the accuser why they say so. Rather than just let the image continue to be painted. The attempts to tarnish on this episode were weak. We can all shout Racism and ruin people. Look at who was chosen to ask the questions and the lack of support in the audience. I dont blame Farage for his threats to boycott the BBC. If you want to ruin people, atleast have the receipts so we can learn from your inside knowledge.

How on earth did our country survive up until 50 years ago if immigration was so vital. It appears though it worked perfectly well with its own indiginous people alone. 5 million around the time of the civil wars.18 million during jane Austens lifetime. 35 million by the end of the victorian age ,and none of them immigrants.

Totally agree. There were a few immigrants throughout the Victorian age, but mainly from European countries. The UKs population would be perfect at 40 million max. Immigration should be very minimal, slow, and skilled. Mass immigration as is happening now is absolutely suicidal and cannot be reversed, except by war.

BBC Question time has lost integrity likewise Newsnight!
Simple solution to this would be to have the audience made up equally of genuine party supporters/members. If there is one leader then have all genuine supporters/members. The host can ask fair/difficult questions and viewers can make their own minds up. The reason this is not done is the BBC (and others) want the power the supposedly representative audience affords to manipulate the viewers.
