    Except I’m not convinced Farage ever got half the vilification that Corbyn did. There’s a big difference between the media saying

    “Immigration is the worst. Also hey look at this anti-immigrant guy, crazy right? Plus we keep implementing his policies. Remember immigration bad. Reform is totally a problem.”

    and

    “This guy confirmed for Russian sleeper agent. Plus he hates you. Here’s the army chief confirming he’ll get us all killed. And we proved his policies will make you poor. Plus he’s unelectable anyway. Here’s a bunch of shit we made up about him for kicks.”.

      He was allowed to present panel shows multiple times, it’s why I can never take any establishment figure fearmongering about him seriously.
