Nigel Farage lashed out at a BBC journalist at the Reform UK conference, refusing to answer questions about racism allegations he denies. When pressed on whether he agreed with deputy Richard Tice’s claim that accusers are lying, Farage retorted, “No, I’m done with you.”

He branded the questioning “despicable,” then launched a blistering attack on the BBC for “double standards and hypocrisy” citing controversial 1970s and 80s shows like Are You Being Served?, It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, and the Black and White Minstrel Show.
“I cannot put up with the double standards of the BBC about what I’m alleged to have said 49 years ago, and what you were putting out on mainstream content,” Farage declared.
Demanding BBC Apology Before Talking Again
Farage escalated the standoff by demanding a full BBC apology for its historic programmes before engaging with its reporters further. “I want an apology from the BBC for virtually everything you did throughout the 1970s and 80s. Until you apologise… I’m not speaking to you,” he snapped.
