Slighted Farage pledges to gut BBC funding if in charge
NIGEL Farage yesterday pledged to gut BBC funding if he gets into power.
The Ukip leader accused the broadcaster of bias and trying to scupper his party’s election hopes after he was not invited to take part in Thursday’s question time debate alongside David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband.
None of the other smaller parties were invited to attend the leaders’ debate but Mr Farage appears to have taken his omission as a personal slight.
