Farage supporters used his time on AM as a propaganda coup. Nige must have been in on it as he kept playing for the sound bites. Poor Hiedi, BBC bites on QT are against the rules. So was Robinson but he was invited, so that's OK. Rules for fools.

SOME people are outraged. The rest of us are laughing our arses off

All eyes will be on how that interview will go. So she actually asked them beforehand if there would be a conflict (w/Euro election elections) and they told her there wouldn’t be? Either the BBC are hugely incompetent or something very fishy is going on.

BBC cancel Have I Got News For You episode over appearance of Change UK leader Heidi Allen MPThe long-running BBC topical quiz Have I Got News For You was pulled from the air last night in an apparent wrangle over the appearance of Change UK leader Heidi Allen MP. But not BBCQT feature Farage, or Marr featuring Farage, or indeed the HIGNFY of 2014 shortly before the last EU elections ... featuring Farage. They should give HIGNFY the boot permanently. A pathetic totally bias proremain platform from day one of brexit vote. As for her comments on Farage. Just shows how out of touch with reality the sad little ante democrat is. The BBC are weird.
