The polling suggests Farage absolutely does have that support. BBC coverage reflects that. And I hate the man

>>Angost+(OP)
does he have it because he gets into the news all the time? Do other people with support get proportionate air time to their support? I don't think so.

Like all news organisations the BBC gets views based on outrage and I don't think the Greens or the Libdems get 1/2 Farage's news coverage based on having 1/2 his support and that's clearly because they don't do outrageous things.

And you are talking of current polling. I believe you will find that in Corbyn's hayday the polling was suggesting he would sweep labour to power.. but with the wrong politics. Hence being pro Palestinian was turned (in the bbc reporting) into "anti Semitic".

I haven’t seen a single “pro Palestinian” that wants to destroy Jordan, ensure Jews and Druze are safe in Jordan Gaza Judea Samaria or anywhere else in the middle east, or do anything else to support a return to multi ethnic Palestine.

They pretty consistently just want a 23rd arab state, want all the Jews gone, don’t care about the 850K jews forced out of other arab states, and don’t think Jews are native to Judea or that Arabs come from the Arabian peninsula.

Well there is a bit of history there. What you say is probably true, but I believe the British, then the the UN, and now a vocal majority, want exactly what you are talking about. My Jewish friends are happy with their Arab neighbours, but my Jewish friends have left Israel because their Jewish neighbours there hate them.

Corbyn failed because he was a bad politician with extreme views. It was Corbyn not the media who covered him that chose to defend every antisemite they could find. If anything the media was too nice to him(the media is often too worried about false balance you get similar things with Trump). It's entirely unsurprising that he lost what would have been a labor victory without him

I don't think there is a single point there that is not an assertion. You should become a BBC reporter.. although their assertions are usually reported as "xxx said..."
