Wouldn't surprise me! Once the media start on someone, they'll use anything to further their point. However ridiculous.
No. I have seen faulty screens, and that is exactly how they fail, in rectangles of blank pixels.

agreed, Gromit

however - in that specific spot on the screen, and at that specific moment?????
Could there be a posse of pixel setting Reds in the technical dept of the beeb who've done this?
Incidentally, is that a MCC tie that Bloom is wearing?
Sandy, yes looks like an MCC tie to me.

That would certainly take some organising. First of all, quite a few people would have to be involved including the director of the programme plus the vision mixer and then the technical crew who would have to mock up a fake digital 'pixel drop out'.

When you think of it in those terms, it sounds quite far fetched that the BBC would deliberately leave itself open to allegations of bias, especially as it could quite easily be proven (by tech experts).

I find it quite surprising that anyone could believe this.

Perhaps, but however it happened, they couldn't wait to make the most of it. Why bring up comments he made at school? I'm sure we've all said some daft things in our time.
No, not an MCC tie.

It looks like regimental tie. The 3rd (foot and Mouth) Regiment perhaps.

It was brought up because the story had broken. What's the point of having him on and then ignoring whatever might be in the news about him?

Surely he's big enough to be able to handle public scrutiny...just like politicians from other parties?

Have you ever seen Jeremy Paxman or John Humpries pulling back when questioning politicians?

Why should Farage get an easy ride?
Yes, it was the media i was criticising, not yourself, sp. He won't get an easy ride, but sometimes the reporters/papers make themselves look more stupid than whoever they are trying to ridicule. They have misrepresented/misunderstood the other meaning of "sluts" and asking someone why all the faces are white in a photo is a clearly racist remark and should have been thought out first. Although smacking a reporter on the head with a leaflet is not the most intelligent response.
I don't think smacking reporters will lose him any votes. But I don't think this was deliberate by the Beeb - it looks like a captioning glitch; note that there's another one above his head.

These are the MCC colours, nothing like Farage's tie

Not Farage's tie jno, Blooms.

There is a likeness, but the stripes are at the wrong angle.
oh, sorry, you're right, Gromit. But the wrong colours: MCC is yellow and orange and can be seen from the moon on a clear night.
So Bloom, apart from everything else, is sailing under false colours? Are there no depths to which he wouldn't sink?
seems odd to me, conveniently under the nose, how precise is that?
i have long thought the BBC is biased, so perhaps someone was having a little jest at his expense.
// seems odd to me, conveniently under the nose, how precise is that? //

I imagine Farage was moving about a bit on screen. The black rectangle could have been over his mouth, over his chin, between his eyes.

They have just taken a screen capture at a point it was under his nose.

And this is not how it was broadcast to the public. This was a tv screen in the studio possibly in the background. When the live feed from Farage was boadcast, it would not have had the tash.
I hope so!!
It has always puzzled me that anyone could have voted for that clown Hitler. But now I see there are those who will vote for the clown Farage.
