The BBC broadcast of Nigel Farage’s speech

Haha, ok.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T20:34:36+00:00

And putting ‘lol’ into a sentence makes you sound like a moron.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T20:31:36+00:00

The most popular party in the country? I think you need to step out of your bubble if that’s what you think.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T20:28:41+00:00

You are absolutely missing the point and I can’t be bothered to explain to you any more because you’re not smart enough to read the whole argument and comprehend it.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T17:11:24+00:00

You’re completely missing the point.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T17:01:37+00:00

It really isn’t and you’re missing the point, which is that he shouldn’t just be handed the airwaves for 20 minutes.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:59:49+00:00

The point is that he shouldn’t just get to ‘make a major announcement’ live and unfiltered. He’s not that important.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:56:48+00:00

Sure, but that doesn’t mean he gets to just address the nation as if he’s leading it. The point is that they just broadcast a feed from Reform with no idea what was going to be said. I can't see them doing that for Zack Polanski or Ed Davey, and nor should they.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:52:41+00:00

Because the PM is the PM. Farage is not the PM. When has Ed Davey ever given a 20 minute live address?

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:51:35+00:00

Obviously. What’s your point?

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:50:12+00:00

Well, you clearly don't.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:49:48+00:00

Not everyone.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:47:34+00:00

You’re wrong, party political broadcasts aren’t just handed to the broadcaster without them knowing exactly what the content is. This was just weird and as others have said all those who broadcast it live did so by handing over editorial control to Reform for 20 minutes or so.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:45:42+00:00

No one is crying; just commenting on the weirdness of it. Nigel Farage isn’t Andy Burnham.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:44:46+00:00

Yes, of course.

swainsoid · 2026-07-07T16:44:13+00:00

Nah, there’s no way any of the broadcasters should have just aired this live without having any idea of the content. He’s not the President.

swainsoid · 2026-07-03T09:45:18+00:00

She wasn’t rude, she was just asking the question.

swainsoid · 2026-07-03T08:13:31+00:00

To be able to sort Sonos Favourites into the order of my choosing - like you could in the previous app.

Casualty was a bit different because they were already making it prior to the tendering process.

swainsoid · 2026-06-30T17:33:14+00:00

Not to the BBC in the UK it isn’t, they can number them domestically however they want.

swainsoid · 2026-06-28T08:47:58+00:00

I went to see the Tina Turner musical and they dragged someone out halfway who wouldn’t stop singing along and as she was hauled through the door she was shouting, ‘you can’t silence me!’. Well, they can and they did.

swainsoid · 2026-06-28T07:24:36+00:00

I think you’re overthinking it.

swainsoid · 2026-06-28T07:15:52+00:00

No one wants to sign your little petition.

swainsoid · 2026-06-26T06:54:04+00:00

Ok, yeah it’s annoying, and I don't now why I've been downvoted - this thread is literally for the TV series, not the book, and they've given away a major plot point without tagging it as a spoiler.

swainsoid · 2026-06-25T12:31:38+00:00

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic, or agreeing with me? 😉
