Whatever our politics, we can all agree that giving leading politicians like Nigel Farage hours of free primetime exposure on major news channels is bad for democracy.

2) Pass laws that reduce the publics ability to legally protest.

Nigel Farage was 18 years old when The Young Ones debuted on BBC2. He was 22 when Ben Elton started regularly fronting Saturday Live on Channel 4.
It isn't a generational thing to be a racist arsehole. It's a choice.
Many people have been waiting decades to reveal it was their choice all along.
