I would never say I was morally superior nor did I infer or say that I was but I would say I do respect other people from different cultures and Nations,and if they are together and want to talk in their own language that is fine by me.
Just as I would talk to those with me in English in any foreign Country were I visiting another country.
I see not a single problem with that at all.

When I have been to London too, I have been on the tube and never heard any english being spoken, I have actually enjoyed hearing the different languages and accents too.

Of course it is his right to say he feels uncomfortable but he is supposed to be the leader of a political party in the UK aspiring to get elected to parliament and even to Govt.
If he feels uncomfortable with this and enough to say so too, then that to me at any rate, demonstrates some intolerance of others from him and certainly doesn't endear him or his attitude on such an issue to myself.

I actually think Mockinator sums it all up pretty well really.Since a lot of intolerance from those within UKIP just about falls in line with being uncomfortable with people from other Nations and cultures speaking in their own language and living their lives their way.

Would you expect everyone on the Paris Metro to speak French?

He has to answer these questions. He's playing with the big boys now. Hopefully they will grill him like this over and over again till the public see what a bluffer he actually is.

Nigel Farage attacked over Romanians 'slur'.

Ed Milliband said the comments about Romanian immigrants were a "racial slur", while Nick Clegg said the comments had no place in modern Britain. David Cameron added the comments were "pretty unpleasant".

He has a right to voice his opinion, he has freedom of speech. This country had freedom of speech way before the EU. You don't have to like it, but his right is clear.

I'm all for shining a light on the UKIP party, the best way to remove radical parties is to put them in the spotlight and watch them fall to pieces under the glare of the media and the public.

Give them enough rope and parties like UKIP will always end up hanging themselves.

The Sun newspaper on Saturday also criticised Mr Farage, saying his comments were "racism, pure and simple".

I heard a clip on the radio today and some telegraph twerp going on about how it was racist. farage said he would be uncomfortable if a group of Romanian men moved in next door to him (and by Romanian men he does not mean a collection of Priests he means yopung men, non english speakers who are here looking for menial very low paid work.

I doubt there is a homeowning parent in the UK who would not feel the same. The interviewer on LBC then said whet if it were a group of german children eh eh eh?

(he was trying to make a point here as farage's children also speak german)

but the comparison was so ludicrous that it made no sense yet that tit on lbc seemed to think he had farage over a barrel.

The whole interview was a set up and had no merit

Double standards, he was calling for people to be arrested due to the fact protesters were decrying his supporters as fascists, and yet when he shoots his mouth off about a specific section of society he is exercising free speech?....

I thought they were all here for the benefits. If there were here to work and kept themselves to themselves and didn't turn into the neighbours from hell throwing parties every night and having a dogs disgrace for a front garden I can't see the issue really.

if someone had said to him "If there were here to work and kept themselves to themselves and didn't turn into the neighbours from hell throwing parties every night and having a dogs disgrace for a front garden" then he may have said oh well fine

What was the question that was put to him then? I assumed it was what you had written above!

I thought Farage did incredibly well with a horrible agenda led interview that is typical of the metrosexual elite in London who cant see any problems from their leafy suburban ivory towers.

Agree, This LBC presenter is clever with words, he does this sort of thing day in day out. So it is no surprise he has tried to make Mr Farage look uncomfortable.

Problem is though this guy is the equivalent of a well trained establishment poodle told to "go after" Mr Farage and make him appear contradictory or hypocritical at all costs.

He was not interested in the substance of the conversation he was having with Mr Farage, intent only on tripping him up and trying to make him look small. no wonder Mr Farage's agent was having a fit trying to extract Mr Farage from this well planned ambush.

Wow......the Political elite will stop at nothing to bring down Mr Farage and UKIP.

How worried really are they ?

the man has a place in the political arena, can handle him self under pressure, if you look how boris pays the bumbling fool, and can say stupid things and have affairs that go un noticed.

we are giving millions of pounds to Europe so they can tell us what to do.

Instead of all the other parties and supporters falling over themselves to condemn UKip in a "oh look at me and how I am not like that which i condemn" so obvious way

It would rather nice if they actually talked about the problems that immigration with no control has caused and the problems we face by being in the EU and what they intend to do about it?

Today's attempt to smear by Paul Dacre and the Tories is an unfounded 17 year old allegation

Its pathetic

Expect more of the same as there is a battle on at the moment for the hearts and minds of the discerning voting public.

If you cannot destroy UKIP's arguments then you go after the Party leaders and try and destroy them.

The political elites (TPTB) are seriously troubled by UKIP and the democratic challenge it represents. They are taking UKIP seriously and realise they have a problem, something that could rock their comfortable status quo.

As a result they will stop at nothing to discredit them by fair means or foul.
