Getting a regular thing for me commenting on QT. Last nights was quite a revelation with (for a change) most of the audience who are on our wavelength. Nigel took centre stage and stood his ground.
Of course there was the usual "anti" Farage individual. Probably a left winger plant from labour or lib-dems.
Spoilt as usual by DD lack of control over the panel.

The loony left doing what they do best when they've lost the argument - shout and squeal and bawl and make sure no other view is heard. A complete shambles even by the lefts dismal standards.

You're quite right about it being a plant in the audience that was trying to give Farage a hard time. When I watched it myself it even appeared that he was checking notes. Here's a clip of the actual scene: Worth watching to see how disrespectful he was when Farage was talking, doing the very thing that he told Farage not to do before Farage had said a word. Yet Dimbleby was happy to give him the chance to go on with his rant after Farage had answered him. No accident methinks. The BBC news and political programmes are full of reports condemning UKIP in an effort to demonise them. I think it just might be having the reverse effect. Like repeating the statement of one UKIPper who said that Islam is an evil mindset. I think many will be drawn to what they have seen for themselves, but know but most politicians have cowardly skirted. I was trying to think about how it might be possible to check just who this audience member was and I just found the information posted by somebody hereHere's what they tell about him (Charlie Bloom):

I switched off early on when four people on the platform (including Dimbleby asking his own question) were all talking at once. I just can't stand the incompetent chairing of this programme.

(hat tip - David Vance) Further confirmation that this Bloom character was a plant. The day before (the 8th) the programme was recorded, here's what one of his daughter's, Caitlin Bloom, wrote on twitter: Then when a few commenters realised the plant implication she chose to lie with this (highlighted) You can see the comment directly under hers questions that since when is QT recorded the day before. She doesn't reply back. Shows quite clearly that this Bloom already knew beforehand he was going to be allowed to speak. Here's what David Vance writes about it on Biased BBC Blog
