    So in terms of UK influence he probably does deserve a knighthood for his "public service" if you are being non political
    Jimmy Savile was pretty influential. It's important what sort of influence you have.

    I see you can't understand why comparing a small self funded news station that has only started a few weeks ago with a goliath funded by a tax on all tv owners with a 100 year history is a David and Goliath comparison. It was compared against BBC news organisation which lost, not the whole multi billion BBC organisation.


    If you are going to compare things it doesn't make sense to compare an aircraft carrier to a canoe unless you are an idiot.

    BBC1 is a rolling news channel?

    BBC News channel had 3.5 million viewers at 10pm on a channel that has run for decades that is so many more than the 107k viewers that Mr Farage got on his 7pm show that has been running for a couple of weeks. Mr Farage should be ashamed.

    Warty is a bit of a thicky.
    You really can't understand why you and the Wail are wrong can you? I give up.

    The Wail is comparing the Nige 7 o'clock show, his specific show, versus the same time slots on the BBC News Channel (a rolling news channel) and SKY News (a rolling news channel). Nige gets 107,000 viewers for his specific show and you and the Wail are claiming his news is more popular than the BBC news.

    I said a specific targeted show like Farrage's should be more popular than a rolling new channel that people only pop into sporadically. But, compare Farrage's show against a prime BBC news slot and the story is way different.

    Given the prime time Beeb news is 6 o'clock on BBC1 with 3.5m viewers, it's highly unlikely that the rolling channel for the next hour will have high numbers.

    So ... is summary, Farrage's news show is NOT more popular than the BBC news as claimed by you and the Wail.

    HTH, but I'm guessing you are too dim still to understand this

    Not necessarily true especially if you tune in after midnight.

    I'll let you work out whether 107k is higher or lower than 3.5m

    Our Army was starting to improve but yes we had a long history of doing unpleasant stuff.

    The improvements were partially due to the Geneva conventions and the rise of organisations like the red cross and newspapers starting to ask why are we killing all these Natives?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Geneva_Convention

    The East India company was rather brutal.

    The British people were mostly not put in the same situation as the Germans & Russian people were that they had to rat on their fellow citizens based on their race or beliefs.
