Imagine if Sultana, Polanski, Starmer or any of the preferred figures of fun was rattling off videos as a side hustle and gave a shout out to a child rapist. Internet would melt.

What are you suggesting? There is a media cover up?

I think its easy start is Star Mr Bernstein - I am genuinely interested why you believe journalists should consider this bigger news that - oops - Jenrick and why they all (other than the Star) got it so wrong. Is this your article in the Start (oops sorry - Star?)

I genuinely needed even know (sic) the Star had covered it today tbh - it isn’t usually in my morning reading

I feel like it shows pretty awful judgment from Farage - don’t you agree?

He's made to look a bit silly, and I would have expected him to know who Ian Watkins was, but he's the victim of the prank at the end of the day. Not sure it is really a massive deal that some want it to be.

Which may mean its considered a non story rather than a right and left wing media conspiracy to protect him from scandal?

I am sure it is but I don't see it making headlines anywhere soon - other than the Star

Its pretty obvious now I have looked at it that he did not know who Ian Watkins was and the prankster admits he said Ian Watkins was deceased and wanted a tribute.

I would have thought if anyone wants to seriously challenge anything its his right to front a News Channel evening slot, be paid vast amounts for it and have a free reign on its content.

You don't think the potential PM would/should know about one of the most high profile sex offenders in recent history?

Even ignoring this particular story or whether he was tricked, it's pretty awful optics that he's doing these shitty little videos anyway for 50 quid here and there.

You’re both making a mountain out of a molehill. Serious journalists and news outlets haven’t bothered with the story for a reason.

Wasn’t Starmer head of the CPS when it chose not to charge Jimmy Saville?

I think a man seriously running for Prime Minister would be doing things to protect his image, not grifting for £50.

If Nige can’t be arsed to do even the slightest bit of due diligence into these Cameo requests what makes you think he’d approach governing differently?

Edit: and given he’s been burnt before by a similar request you’d think he’d have even more reason to scrutinise?

I’ve not said I think it’s another Pentagon Papers or something, and plenty of serious outlets have indeed covered the story. The question is one of judgment and the calibre of the people around him and it seems like Farage’s have been found lacking. Surprised it didn’t generate more conversation on here at first tbh.

The Starmer/Saville stuff was worn out during the Sunak premiership!

No, that Nick's server might take a hit if someone other than Teflon Tan Man went and did this.

His £98 is still £98, that is literally all that matters.

I happen to agree with on the Starmer/Saville stuff. The point is more about ‘judgement’ or the people in Starmer’s government who have represented terrorists, like Lord Hermer. That’s also questionable judgement and these people are running the government.

Nonetheless, you’re dragging up a prank and presented it as if it was obvious that it referred to the Lost Prophets frontman. Most of public would see it for what it is: a prank that’s caught him out and made him look daft.
