If it means he never goes on Question Time again then we’ll pay for it

The Daily Telegraph has a scoop.

Nigel Farage has threatened to stop paying his licence fee unless the BBC apologises for reporting that he had “blood on his hands” over the death of a Polish man in the wake of the EU referendum.

In an article for The Telegraph the former Ukip leader says that the “terrible slur” has caused him and his family “more misery than any other in my 25 years in politics”.

He says that he lived “in fear of reprisal” and a “perpetual state of worry” as a result of the claim and will have “no option but to stop paying the BBC licence fee altogether” unless the corporation apologises.

If it means he never goes on Question Time again then we’ll happily pay for it instead. £147 well spent.
