One may not agree with Nigel Farage's politics but he did not deserve to be put up as the sacrificial lamb and verbally insulted on a light treated satirical show such as 'Have I Got News For You'.
The whole show was presented as an attack on Nigel Farage, how he managed to laugh things off I do not know, I wouldn't have blamed him if he got up and walked away in disgust.
But it didn't stop there even at the end the show's host actor and ??comedian?? Stephen Mangan had to have a dig at the Tories and the Lib Dems, but strangely nothing malicious aimed at Labour, but then we have come to expect this from our left leaning BBC.

Well for once I agree with you, AOG, and nothing to do with party politics. It was quite pathetic of this show to single out one person and, frankly, they verged on being on dangerous legal grounds as to libel/

I have watched HIGNFY more or less since it started, and everyone knows the format by now.
Those guests who will make good TV if they are ribbed, are ribbed, and they usually handle the banter easily.
I thought Mr Farage was excellent, he showed a great sense of humour and not to take himself too seriously, and the give-and-take obviously encouraged Merton and Hislop.
The two regulars are witty quick-witted individuals, and the format of the show demands that they get stuck into guests, who are at liberty to strike back if able - but it is rarely a one-sided contest as regular viewers will know.
Mr Farage obviously went on with his eyes fully open, knew what to expect, and took it well, and I warmed to him considerably.
He is certainly possessed of a sense of humour and that is seriously rare in a politician!
