The question was framed so as to make it look as though he’d said he admired Putin which he didn’t. He said he admired him as an operator not as a person.
He should take a leaf from your book Maine; your veneration for all things Trump needs no such clarification.

Ok Sarah.

You are acting like the White House press secretary, spinning and twisting a lie. Do you know you are doing it, and is it on purpose? Perhaps you don’t know you are doing it?

The question was - “do you still admire Vladimir Putin?”

Answer - “No, I’ve never admired Vladimir Putin.”

Note: THAT IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER LIE.

Marr then states, in an interview, in which he was asked “which current world leader do you most admire?” Farage said “as an operator, but not as a human being, I would say Putin”.

He picked Putin out of all world leaders. He could have said anyone, but he chose to state he admired Putin the most of all world leaders.

Yet when asked about it, he lied, a bald faced lie, as he did say he admired Putin, and in fact picked Putin out of any world leader, when asked about which world leader he admired.

This is a symptom of Trump supporters and Brexit supporters. You will argue that night is day, the sea is green and that black is white.

Accept that Farage was caught in a lie, and move on.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Yes I know exactly what I’m doing.

Manifesto? For EU MEP elections? Why are the Brexit party going to be running the EU then?

Maine, what are you waffling about, it's obviously a one issue party.

I've no issues with Farage being given a hard time by journalists, as long as they are honest actors......The Putin question response was spun by activist journalists.

I have given you umpteen final warnings but now I've had enough as there are as many Remainers posting here as there are Brexiteers but you are the only one seemingly incapable of posting without personal insults.

As you have already admitted you aren't a Palace fan so there are plenty of other fan sites that you can join and insult their members as you are no longer welcome here

I don't believe that to be remotely true.

So far as I can tell the hardline Brexiteers outnumber everyone else, whether a soft Brexiteer, Remainer or any shade in between by a very substantial margin.

Don't worry though. Brexiteers are against dictatorship so you could never be accused of that could you?

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

The Brexit party is about Brexit. It is about a protest against the conspiracy by Parliament to stop it.

What manifesto does that require?

Are you seriously suggesting that any party manifesto is worth the paper it's written on? Apparently, the BBC only think so when it's to smear Nigel Farage.
I also didn't see any other party representatives being asked about previous quotes or having old video of them shown.
The whole thing was clearly an attempt to besmirch Farage and you know it.

Why do you waste our time with mealy mouthed disingenuous denials and show support for such disgusting political prejudice from a tax funded organisation?

Why do you keep repeating that Farage is a liar when you know that everyone knows that politics is based on lies?
It's just infantile and completely blinkered to keep saying these kinds of things.

Politics is not about being honest. It can't be. It should be clear as to why to anyone reading these boards.

Many people can't handle the truth. They make their own truth to satisfy whatever belief system they adopt.
Also, politics is about besmirching your opponent so any politician will be economic with any truth that will lend ammunition for that.

I'd say that Farage was as open in that interview as he could be. Marr laid traps for him and he avoided them with clear answers. It was a hatchet job and Farage knew that.
Now we all know what lengths the BBC will go to to support their anti Brexit agenda.

I don't think you can accuse ME of being a dictator. There are rules to adhere to when posting on here. PP pushed these to the limit on several occasions but continued to insult other posters.
Yes you are correct I do not like dictatorships

If Brexit is "scrapped" then nothing else will matter anyway because of the permanent damage to UK democracy (effectively destroyed) and what the EU clearly have in store for us which we will have no future say on. People who voted for Brexit understand this and I think it's what drives much of the anger.

There is no reason for Farage to have any wider manifesto at this point. It's clearly a single and binary issue vote.
