Now I quite like people who tell it 'like it is', or as they see it. Ann Widdecombe is someone who I share no common ground with on almost any issue, but I like her honesty and straightforwardness.

Nigel Farage's comments in the European Parliament tho were just plain embarrassing. Resulting to personal insults on the man and his country- how is that 'telling it like it is'? It's rude and ignorant.

Shirley Williams was interviewed by Fern Brittan on Jeremy Vine's show the other day and voiced her admiration for the new UKIP leader Lord Pearson of Rannoch, saying that her views were radically different to his on Europe but that he was a decent chap who you could have a reasoned debate with. Unlike Mr Farage.

He could quite easily have voiced his opinions with just as much force and conviction without resulting to petty insults and name-calling.

The editorial in today's Times put it very well:

This newspaper did not want a leader of the European Council either. But no, Mr Farage, you do not speak for the majority of the British people. They would not dream of being so pathetically rude and neither do they relish being represented by the political equivalent of Alan Partridge.

JC I like Nigel Farage. He's blunt, tells it like it is and, while obviously knowing he needs publicity as much as anyone else seeking election, doesn't shy away from challenge or attempt to only say what he thinks people want to hear. If that's amateurish then I'd rather Parliament was filled with such amateurs than the professional spinners who currently occupy it.

He reminds me very much of Cyril Smith (apart from his size).

Janet Street Porter was very annoying, as usual.

And is there anyone alive with less character than Peter Hain?
david I have to say, Mr Farage is coming across as rather amateurish on Question Time.
Emma Bee I hope Nigel Farage is elected to Parliament. He's the only one giving any direct answers to questions at the moment. He's on Question Time tonight.
ReadyTeddy Why do I feel that all the main party's are not worth getting out of bed for. If the truth about how inept and corrupt they were was laid bare then there would be an uproar. Govenment has turned into a corrupt mire and only mass sacking and proper veting of the new members would make some difference.

When interviewed the majority deflect or avoid questions. For a film star I can understand such actions and question avoidance, but the are representing our country for goodness sake - and we have a right to know!
