Just trying a very obvious smear job. What a pathetic specimen Marr is.
I try to read a cross section of papers, left and right in order to try and get the most accurate and unbiased knowledge of what is really happening. I don't stick my fingers in my ears and with wilful stupidity shout 'La, La, La, I can't hear you!'
.
I suggest you see a psychiatrist about your obsession with Capetonian - it's definitely unhealthy. As is your obsession with 'military' types - it just marks you out as the worst sort of barrack room or lower deck lawyer that many of us experienced in the Services. Just get over it and you may feel a happier person putting it even further behind you and out of your mind. Ever tried hypno-therapy?
Finally anyone who watches TV in New Zealand would not be keen on the abolition of the BBC unless they enjoy the wall-to-wall commercial TV like the 'free' service here. Make the BBC impartial by law and have an agreed committee of left and right wingers to enforce it. It's the TV equivalent of a left biased rag newspaper at present.
Well that was an interesting polemical diatribe .
Possibly induced by you seated in a facsimile of the Wardroom, fully attired in Mess dress, with tracks of the R.M Band alternating between "Heart of Oak " and "Rule Britannia " in the background, and a steady supply of pink gins for inspiration . ?
For somebody who professes to read a selection of media, your comments would suggest otherwise. And thank you for reminding me, yet again, why I left the RAF at the first opportunity.
With regard to Marr, and his questions to Farage, you may recall Marr is a political interviewer and commentator. Part of his remit is to ask questions that are intended to make the recipient uncomfortable and thus prone to making statements that contradict the public image the recipient wishes to present.
In the case of Farage, despite a very well crafted public persona, he's far from being the epitome of sincerity he purports to be.
He's a very dangerous man in every respect. His style endears him to many, but, underneath the façade, there's a far more repellent nature.

And it may be worth remembering, that, a seat in the H.o .C has eluded him no less than seven times. For Farage, this would represent his ultimate ambition and even more if, as he proposes, his party, and note, just like UKIP it's
his party, and hence principally himself would, finally , be in a limited position to make policy inputs.
Consequently, the more this façade can be exposed for what it is, the more hope there is for this ambition to remain thwarted.

is interesting that you, and others, can write a lengthy reply which is is succinct, makes its points, and is coherent, whereas his are just rambling diatribes of sneering meaningless drivel and he has to back up his 'points' with links to the Grauniad.
Ah, that subtle blend of sycophancy and ingratiation ! Difficult to say which is the more prominent here..... Heep or Quilp
I agree that Marr is pathetic, albeit a perceptive and quick witted interviewer, but he's not going to bite the hand that feeds him so he has to toe the BBC line - a hypocrite as you said. His performance merely showed Nigel Farage for the courageous and farseeing political personality he is, whilst Marr demeaned himself.
That's the spirit of unity for you !
KaknCrap is not on my ignore list, I just choose not to read his ramblings, unless they are less than a few lines, which is rarely the case, and tend to see them only when quoted, as by yourself above.
I'm not sure if I am the TOP contributor to whom he refers, if he is referring to me then he really has lost the plot as nothing he says is applicable to me, but perhaps if he is referring to me he can quote his reference for describing me as 'a pure self aggrandizing BS merchant'. I suspect he means someone else but who knows. He is so full of bile and envy that he has lost the ability to communicate cogently.
I kindly refer you to your own impeccably crafted exemplification in your first, and subsequent paragraphs, in conjunction with numerous other posts in this respect
However, despite the fact you are over qualified for the criteria I outline, and have always been prone to being so, alas, as you no longer post on TOP, then sadly, much as your vanity would wish this to be the case, I am not referring to yourself.
He is unhealthily obsessed by my place of birth and nationality, for some reason, but I'm ignoring the remarks, as one ignores a guttersnipe
This is where yourself, and he, have another similarity. Said contributor claims to have some 43 types in his logbook, and, like a birth certificate for example which provides equally relevant information, you would think a perfectly reasonable question as to what they are could be answered immediately. Strangely, however, there's always been a deafening silence when this question has been posed.
