FFS. Every broadcaster knows the rules. Shows have to be balanced during election periods. This really isn’t very complicated. And the Ofcom rules are there for a good reason. If you don’t approve of Fox News, then you should 100% approve of HIGNFY being pulled tonight.https://twitter.com/haveigotnews/status/1126934743407370241 …

Genuine question. Heidi isnt standing in these elections. Why would this rule still apply? Due to her being (interim) leader of a party thats feilding candidates?

politicians on
#hignfy are not there to rant about their views and their political stands and lies as Farage did the night before , it is a light entertainment programme that usually they take a piss out of politician who attend -
They’re not even allowed to do that under the Ofcom rules if it’s only aimed at one party
-
Thanks for clarification. I am not that bother about her or her party but I miss my programme

So why was Farage given so much extra time last night?!!!
-
He certainly was - seen the clip of him not answering the WTO question? The majority of it was Nigel speaking over others (and not answering the question). Can you see the hypocrisy of this facist charlatan being on QT 24 hours before HIGNFY was pulled?
-
Spot on - the man is a nationalist bully who can’t actually articulate a single genuine benefit of Brexit

What’s the betting they spent the whole programme taking the piss out of the Brexit Party, as a way of trying to get people not to vote for them.

Why did they even film it? They knew this, waste of taxpayer's money or cheap publicity for Heidi Allen and her party?

Well, she hasn't faced her own by-election since leaving the conservatives yet either so probably wrong to invite her at all as she now doesn't actually represent anybody.

“Balance and equal air time” let that sink in for a moment... Now, how many times has Farage appeared on
#bbcqt?#faragecontrick -
Lot less than Ken Clarke.. he holds the record...

After a political career that’s twice as long and representing, again I quote, “a major party”. He’s no rabble-rousing charlatan like Farage.
