Good take
not enough swearing though. I like profanities.
I heard that one of the reasons Farage got so much air time is he really is a great communicator. If you want a quote he'll give you the opinion you need exactly how you need it. An alternative POV for a minster? Nigel's your man. Keep it to 20 seconds? Done. He's an editors dream.
Most of the time the BBC don't care about the politics being put across as long as they counter the other person they've got taking place. They just want someone to interview who will speak clearly, concisely, on the subject they need covering providing a counter to the other person for legal reasons and if they can turn up on time, sober, with a decent tie that doesn't phase on camera and they don't smell too bad or pat the cameraman on the bum TOO MUCH then they'll get used again, and again and again.
