The hypocrisy of you, and others of your ilk, laid bare for all to see.

In one breath you're complaining that not everybody on the right thinks the same and shouldn't be lumped into the same homogeneous grouping. This, despite the fact that you regularly do EXACTLY that with others that oppose contrasting views......"not everyone on the right is the same, but everyone on the left is". The cognitive dissonance is real. You're tarring everybody on the left with one brush while admonishing others not to do the same with you. Par for the course, really. The Tories/Conservatives/right-wingers are masters at this hypocritical bolloxology......you always see people blaming all Muslims for not speaking out about suicide bombers, then label the many, many, many right-wing terrorists as lone wolves. Despicable, really.

Also, didn't you claim earlier in this exact thread that using labels like right and left was beneath you?

A consistent viewer base? A consistently minuscule one, maybe. And one that is diminishing. Are you trying to refute the claim that the overall trend is downwards by using figures which show it trending downwards and saying they're consistent? Consistently decreasing, yes?

He did so attack them. He attempted to hamstring their fundraising ventures by creating a false equivalence between them and a French border taxi service.

This is a play straight out of the Donald Trump playbook....make up a quote which you yourself want to say, but attribute it to an unnamed, nebulous source that can't be tracked down, then claim it's indicative of the general populace. An absolute masterclass in making accusations or creating talking points while still retaining plausible deniability.......e.g.....He called Obama a terrorist sympathiser, without calling him a terrorist sympathiser when asked to explain his comments when he claimed Obama 'gets' terrorists better than anyone else:

To anyone with an ounce of credibility, this is indefensible. Luckily, Farage's comments had the exact opposite effect and increased their donations hugely.

Well, there's an interesting juxtaposition with what's going on with Afghanistan.

There was a young women desperately and understandably seeking to flee the country. She was asked by a journalist where she would like to go, and her answer was unambiguous: "Any country!".

That is how almost everyone would react if they were genuinely in fear of losing their life. They wouldn't take out a globe and have an a la carte approach about which countries they want to settle in and which they do not. That is not in the remit of the refugee.

A la carte migration sets a terrible precedent, undermines the very concept of being a refugee, and creates circumstances in which migrants are willing to throw caution to the four winds to make their way to the target country, rather than being satisfied with the first safe country they find.

There are no circumstances in the world in which I'd leave a dangerous zone (home country) to enter a safe zone (Europe), only to consciously re-enter a more dangerous zone (English Channel).

I'd be grateful to the first country where I was safe and could apply to become an asylum seeker.

I already previously provided you with links on how the conditions in Calais are atrocious, this includes a lack of access to clean food and water. So no, I don't think they should put up and shut up if the host country is failing to provide a safe environment.

Also fyi, it wasn't remotely a secret that huge numbers are crossing the channel so no, Farage did not break that story. Although he does seem to favour them drowning.

This must have been prerecorded, but should be good!

I had to Google who that even is... A 75 year old former darts player is something you're excited about?

Most people agree that Talking Pints is the best part of Farage's show.
