Having phoned up a few times, I deduced they heavily vet callers to agree with the hosts.
As an experiment, over a 2 week period, I phoned Nigel Farage's show 10 times, 5 times claiming to be a Labour or conservative remainer.
And 5 times as a UKIP supporting Brexiteer.
I got on air 4 times out of 5 as a Brexiteer and never as a remainer.
I researched further.
2% of the electorate vote UKIP.
52% voted for Brexit.
Of 52 callers over 2 weeks who got on air, 88% of callers were UKIP supporting Brexiteers.
Evidence that Farage doesn't like being challenged, and prefers to speak to callers who agree with him.

Best hosts - James O'Brian, Iain Dale (Head hates him) and Clive Bull.
Here are too many far right bullies there at present.
They sacked Katie Hopkins and replaced her with Farage!

Waffle...!!!

2 weeks of his show and you reckon only 52 callers got on air...?

If you ever actually listened to the show... you would know that dozens of callers get on air EVERY SHOW!!!

Stop believing the bullshit you read on farcebook!!!

no different to any other show stacking the audience....they ALL do it...hence why such "shows" should be taken off air...

I listen to this station in Wales...I like talk shows where ordinary people are encouraged to give their points of view I listen in the morning when Nick Farrari hosts.
He is a good presenter, lets people have their say, picks them up when they talk rubbish, and when interviewing people he asks the questions many other presenters shy away from.
