I was going to read the latest Bye Line Times tonight, which Royal Mail delivered 10 days late today. However after supper this is a must watch. One can't help but surmise that Farage and all the Reform maniacs are short of a moral compass and rather bent.

One hopes that there is enough evidence for criminal proceedings.

They’re absolutely brazen. I know it’s a vain hope but I’d like to see the whole boiling of them sent to prison. And not a nice, genteel, white collar crime one either.

Did anyone catch the reform Ltd supporter on James O’Brien, this morning? I do feel so sorry for most of them (rightly or wrongly). Just like Trump ‘…loves the poorly educated’, these people have been completely hoodwinked. The bigger issue now though, is the damage that Farige has done to British politics and the country as a whole. I do hope that it’s properly investigated and reform Ltd and Farige are made to answer and that shit will actually stick.

Thanks for the ST! 👍

This programme produced several different reactions from us, ranging from, "Gotcha!!"; "How stupid were they to believe these undercover journalists and their stories"; "Will this really bring Farage down at last ..please?"; "Why didn't they check the stories of the 'son and his American father'? It shows a level of intelligence even lower than we guessed - did they never smell a rat?"

Well done C4 News tonight.

'Gotcha' indeed! Love a 'fake sheik' type sting! Well done C4

James Orr is a decidedly sneaky, creepy character and should be kept an eye on.

I had a quick look on the Hellsight and the number of Deformists defending the leadership was amazing. Some were " It is a witch hunt , There was a lot of Whataboutery (if that is a word) on why C4 was not investigating Labour, Conservatives etc, for what they get up to and how they were always picking on Nigel, a true man of the people®.

I despair.

I caught it by chance

Well for a start, I would like to know the names that were beeped out of the soundtrack. Some of them seemed to start with the definite article.

Farage et all dodgy? Well, I never!

It's a conspiracy, I wasn't even in Clacton!

The most surprising thing to me was that Farage met the undercover journalists in Clacton! Then I read on and discovered that it was during the recent campaign, not when he was the MP

Hats off to Channel 4 for devoting a full half hour to this story and for having the courage to air this. I fully expect that Reform will follow Trumpist tactics and threaten to sue. Whether his friends across the Atlantic or other foreign backers will stump up the money is another question. Is he - finally- now a liability? Will be fascinating to watch the media reactions and Farage’s response.

Well that was half an hour of a cannon being loaded with s*it before being discharged at Reform. Obviously this has been edited, I wonder whether the un broadcast material contains further damaging disclosures?

Thank Bear, we did a little sarcastic piece, glad you are a rule breaker ;)
