But Nigel Farage is to face a new inquisition next year: from the “posh couple” in Gogglebox.
Mr Farage, the Ukip leader, will appear on a spin-off Channel 4 show in which Dom and Steph Parker conduct interviews at home.
To see someone you’ve worked for interviewed by someone you were at school with…..
I think we’ve reached that point at which television is eating itself.
When’s Nige going on “I’m a celebrity big brother get me out of here?”.
Do you hate Farage as much as Dr. North ? He seems to have quit UKIP with a nasty taste in his mouth.
Not at all, I’m fine with Nigel. Didn’t have any illusions going in and none were shattered while I was there. Further, he’s done a sterling job keeping Ukip together to get to this point.
One of the great differences between Richard North and myself is I’m a total cynic about politics. It’s a way of working out who takes the bins out, nothing more. Richard is, hmm perhaps not quite the right word but, rather more romantic about it than I am.
“interviewed by someone you were at school with…..”: so not all that posh, then.
Interesting. I think he is a purist who likes to dig in and analyse a problem until he has mastered the detail while NF is probably much more off the cuff. Opposites do not always attract.
