Nigel Farage has been accused of "insulting" the audience of the final election debate by saying they had failed to understand the issues and were too left wing. During heated debate over the shortage of affordable housing in the UK, the UKIP leader said that "even by the standards of the BBC", the audience was too far left. He said: "There is a total lack of comprehension amongst this panel and the audience, which is a remarkable audience even by the left-wing standards of the BBC." The UKIP leader was jeered as he was told by Ed Miliband that it was not a good idea to "insult the audience", who had been selected by an independent polling firm. Mr Farage responded: "The real audience is sitting at home."

How many leaders do you know, in an election debate that would call out the left wing bias of the media, even the damn audience? Five leaders debated last night - four were left wingers and only one of the right represented - our Nigel! To actually make the point DURING the debate took some real guts.
So impressive, this is a great man folks, please pray for him, we need him to go far, he is our last chance.

He stands alone at the end of the debate as the lefties congratulate each other.

Link to Nigel Farage's highlights from the debate - Best part for me was when he openly told Miliband he was a liar. For those that don't know, Miliband leader of the Labour Party has been coached by team Obama, in particular Axelrod. Treasonous Stalinist scum bags.

Saw this event posted at a bbc bias site. Farage got no cheers from the audience. Clearly they were handpicked to help the Socialists. From what I read this constant Alinsky attack aimed at the UKIP is helping them. Not good for the LabLibCon party.

That’s fantastic! I enjoyed Nigel’s Brussels bromides but this is even better. Loved the part about the audience around minute 4:00.
I wish we had this style of debate in the US.

He was a chicken.
He is even too scared to debate Miliband one on one.
He caused enormous problems negotiating the debates.
To: UKrepublican
It will be interesting to watch the effect this has on polling in the next few days.

Romney should have called out the Leftist Crowey,who blatantly rushed in to save Obama in the debate she moderated. He didn’t, and that revealed his lack of courage as a potential president.

"I just wonder, I'm curious can I get any recognition from any of you that the demand side of this equation is that a rapidly rising population due to open-door immigration, started by Ed Miliband's Labour parties in the 1990s, has directly contributed towards the housing crisis?" He said this and then when he got a negative reaction, he said the audience didn't understand the issues and was too Left wing. That doesn't sound like an insult to me. It sounds like reality.

Not one of them admitted it.
300,000 extra people a year into this country - where is the housing coming from to accommodate this?
