I bet the cancel crew couldn’t believe their luck. At very short notice, Nigel Farage was taken off air with instant effect by LBC – supposedly due to concerns within the Global News network, which includes Capital Radio and Classic FM amongst others in its roster.
Cue great celebrations across social media as armchair justice warriors celebrated the scalping of one of their great antagonists.
Farage himself is not overly concerned about the turn of events and the impact on him. He has a battle hardened-carapace, and has never taken himself overly seriously. He does worry about the impact of one of the country’s leading political voices being snuffed out by their employers. This, he fears, will have a very deadening effect across the UK. Others who might well have a different viewpoint, but do not have his resources both personal and financial resilience, may be scared into silence.... DT.
