I agree with your point though.
And people are surprised that polls show Farage "won the debate" er, lol.
Look at the parties involved. You have 7, of those 5 are left leaning. The Tories are in the slums at the moment and Penny was trotted out to deal with ****ing D-Daygate.
So, Farage had free reign to say whatever he wanted to appeal to the right wing viewers, he had absolutely no competition, only bland opposition.
But, Farage was not the only beneficiary of that, the SNP were too. Flynn was allowed to make ridiculous claims regarding the SNPs record in Scotland, a record that is currently under extreme scrutiny and not once did anyone challenge him on stage. He was basically ignored all night because no one cares enough to call them out.
The SNP benefit from that every single election.
Of course, dipshits like Spurf will just go along with whatever they say anyway cos he read it on facebook.
