I’m A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here!

There's not much chance of that happening through is there?

Farage hasn't been off TV for twenty years. He's been on numerous reality TV and talk shows and there isn't really much more to reveal is there.

People who like Farage tend to like him a lot and they won't change their view, but they probably know the type of person he is. A chancer, who tell lies, a loveable rogue, a man who cheats on his wife and uses expenses to pay for it.

He packs brings in fans for for his "Farage at the pub interviews of celebrity hasbeens" and he has them lapping it up like the audience of Top Gear during the Clarkson years.

People who dislike Farage, know all this too, and that's usually why they dislike him.

He's better at sincerity than Matt Hancock but ultimately most people aren't daft, they can tell when someone is more dishonest than not and Farage is on balance a dishonest person.

Chances are if anyone was going to like Farage, they already would. Unless he performs some heroic and selfless act or has a harrowing sob story to tell there isn't much he could do to win more support than he already has.

You’re quite right he’s not been far from the public eye. Has he been on other reality shows? Didn’t know that, I don’t follow him that closely.

Is this the biggest show he’s been on though? Be interesting to see a poll of how “popular” he is before and after. Only for my own morbid curiosity you understand, rather than I think he’s suddenly going to become the next PM of this land. Or even close to it. I seem to recall the narrative that most people thought Hancock a twat but after this show public perception softened towards him - but as you say Hancock wasn’t on radio or TV spreading his opinions prior to the show, in the same way Farage was.

I do concur with the comparisons to Clarkson and the type of demographic they both appeal to.

I'd class that as more reality than chat given who the interviewers are.

Obviously for non reality, the regular appearances on This Week, daily/Sunday politics it's successor programme, Question Time, radio, his LBC programme and podcast, before the GB News version of Adrian Finighan.

I have been out to Lyme Park this morning and my Mrs was telling me a little bit about the show whilst in the car
I don’t know any of the other Z listers and neither does she.
Apparently she says they were all facing a bit of a dilemma. They are obviously in it to win so they were giving our Nige a bit of a wide birth.
The black guy who had obviously not gone in with a game plan, thought it would be a good idea to take Farage on,on his specialist subject and was quickly shot down with a one liner and left to look a bit of a fool. Apparently the other contestants, as soon as the black guy mentioned Brexit moved off not wanting to get involved, thinking getting involved is not good for my chances of winning at this stage.
All good stuff.

I know, but on my work laptop - I've been spoken to about this before.

About 17 times.

I had a work laptop many years ago when I worked from home, me and Mrs H went on holiday and my single mate “house sat” for us, I told him he could use the work laptop, this was early days, think it was 8GB.

Anyway, I had to attend head office a couple of weeks later, our gaffer asked how we were all getting on WFH, various concerns but all was good. He then said everyone could leave apart from me, I sensed a bollocking was on the horizon. He was very diplomatic and said if I wanted to use the laptop be careful what sites I was on. I told him I’d not been on anything dodgy apart from the betting sites (we were a broadcaster of horse racing into betting shops so not really that bad). He said, the betting sites were not the issue, I asked for species and he said “porn”. Penny dropped, must have been my mate who I shouldn’t have let use my laptop. I said, oh I’m sorry it was probably my stepson who was about 17 at the time, (he was actually at his Dad’s whilst we were away), gaffer says, “well if that’s the case you may need to have a word with him, it was gay porn”, fuck me, I was so embarrassed.

Me and my mate knew each other virtually from birth, born 6 days apart and grew up across the street from each other, he’d only had one girlfriend (we were late 30’s at the time) and even today at 64 he’s still single, very private and we hardly see him. It’s sad to think if he is gay he didn’t feel comfortable enough to come out and has lived in his own for most of his adult life, he could though have just been “gay curious”.

Halfmist jumping to Nigel Farage’s defence whilst championing (wrongly) an outdated reality tv series is what I’m here for today.
What a time to be alive

Last time I posted you said you were leaving the thread. That’s what I admire,someone who sticks to his principles.
