I always find it strange when fellow leftie remainers dispute this, TBH.

He was the leader of the UK Indepence Party, who's raison d'etre was to take us out of the EU, and 'the face' of the victorious leave campaign. Why do so many of those who are most irked by Brexit denounce his influence? Bizarre.
I certainly don’t denounce his influence. I denounce the fact that so many people fail to see he’s just a grifter in it to feather his own nest.

Great decision to employ a blind person as your North American chief political correspondent. Really useful reporting last night live from the Trump rally :rolleyes:

That'll be the chap who secured this important interview.
Three comments from people just a little below on the thread ...

"BBC actually putting entire US Mass media to shame"

"Who is this journalist? Masterful old skool interview where the interviewee gets to tell the story rather than the journalist."

"This guy is asking a lot of very good questions."

I don’t doubt his ability as a journalist but blind people don’t tend to make great eyewitnesses

Making yourself look even more of a numpty by making more crass comments about blind people.

Hmm.

There were thousands of eye witnesses.
I've seen dozens of camera angles.

"I'm a journalist 'cos I saw it" is a bit of a weird one.
