Britain’s Brexit leader Nigel Farage has “resigned” from his LBC radio show effective immediately. Farage has been an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump since day one of his administration.
Nigel Farage’s contract with LBC is up very shortly and, following discussions with him, Nigel is stepping down from LBC with immediate effect. We thank Nigel for the enormous contribution he has made to LBC and wish him well.

Reports indicate that Farage learned of his so-called resignation through LBC’s social media posts. (Mediaite)
Though LBC did not reveal the reason for his departure, Sky News reported that LBC has come under fire for their employment of Farage, given his criticism of Black Lives Matter and the destruction of statues by George Floyd protesters.
After clashing with Good Morning Britain’s Piers Morgan over Black Lives Matter this week, Farage declared, “Black Lives Matter is a far left Marxist organisation that wants to abolish the police and dismantle capitalism. That won’t change just because 4 other panelists tried to shout down the truth on GMB this morning.”
The Guardian also reported that “sources at the station pointed to internal fury over his comments earlier this week comparing protestors who destroyed the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol to the ‘taliban’.”
Farage’s LBC colleague James O’Brien appeared to celebrate the resignation on Thursday, tweeting, “We got our station back.”

Trump has supporters with lots and lots of money who would support a Nigel venue.
I take Farage over Piers Morgan, the idiot, any day
So…..snowflakes are not a U.S. phenomenon. Brits can’t handle the truth either. I fully suspect that somewhere this is a platform looking to fill an hour time slot, so Farage can resume his foray with the truth. Best of luck, Nigel!
“Sociialism” the root of all evil laziness and #1 step to a dictator regime that destroys Liberty, Freedom and Rights ! Every dictated nation in the world is historical proof of human stupidity !
He speaks the truth so they force a resignation. You may have your station back, but think you may have lost listeners that want to hear the truth.
Absolutely.
Big surprise, the communist propaganda outlet fired him!
It’s sad to see that there can’t be two opinions anymore. We are ask to accept every damned idiotic idea that the “left” has to offer or be branded with all the ususal buzz words. There doesn’t seem to be any room for debate or discussion. Well the “left” had better start reviewing the facts, because nearly every Democrat run State is broke and in chaos. How many times do you have to prove to them that their agenda isn’t working? You can’t discuss/debate/argue issues with them without the name calling and insults even when you that the facts and truth on your side. Where in the hell did these people come from???
You are so right about no debate. The left wants power and they have an agenda to pretty much take over the country and the world. They aren’t interested in listening to the right.
Nigel was absolutely correct! Just look the BLM platform on their own website! The are a communist organization that seeks to destroy all vestiges of western civilation. Period! Plus they are racist as he**
You are correct.
“If you notice the protestors are all young college age for the most part. They learned all of this on campus where identity politics rules the day. They are taught we older white successful guys are all bad oppressors. Where are the protestors rallying against the 87 blacks who were shot in Chicago last weekend 21 of whom died? Did you hear about that on the mainstream media? Did anyone mourn the black guard who got murdered in a drive by in Oakland? Where is the sympathy for the shop owners, many of whom are blacks who invested their last penny in their shops, who are no wiped out by rioters? As bad as the cop was who killed Floyd, the rioters who destroyed the lives of black shop owners are almost as bad. “
Do you know who started and funded BLM? A White Hillary Clinton, with a fascist communist George Soros. Soros literally abandoned and betrayed German Jews. Soros was a Jew.
Nothing Black about hypocrites who claim they care about black lives, yet do zero to build-up black communities suffering from unemployment and underemployment. Nigel Farage will recover from this charade. Great Britain knows who their real friends are. This protesting is obviously funded by the EU, who was booted out of Great Britain. What’s the matter with Piers? He’s lost his dang mind.
Nigel is right. BLM is a leftist anti-capitalism group and is hypocritical on the welfare of Black people: it only cares about Black live taken by police (like the 9 last year) but do not care about Black lives taken by Black people (over 3000 last year) nor about Black lives who own businesses in Minneapolis whose livelihood were destroyed by looters and rioters during the George Floyd demonstration.
Ultimately we can conclude that fake news is everywhere, not only in the US
Actually the title of “black lives matter” is racist so “white lives matter” is OK & all lives matter is the truth about humanity ! Where is a black in world history the only one that matters …? A criminal and a cop causes a world riot & the stupid support criminal whims of every wannabe dictator ! Really the height of asinine idiots using freedom as a support for NWO dictator ways !
BLACK LIVES DON’T MATTER. BLACK DEATHS MATTER! ONLY BLACK DEATHS OCCURRING AT THE HANDS OF THE POLICE, MANY OF WHOM ARE BLACK! IF PEOPLE WISH TO PROTEST THE HAND FULL OF NEGROES KILLED BY POLICE , WHY DON’T THEY PROTEST THE THOUSANDS OF THESE SELF SAME NEGROES KILLED BY NEGROES? THE ANSWER IS THEY CAN’T BLAME WHITES FOR BLACK ON BLACK MURDERS! THERE IS NO MONEY IN IT! BLACK CRIME IN BLACK NEIGHBOR HOODS DON’T PROVIDE AN EXCUSE TO RIOT, VANDALIZE, BURN DOWN BUILDINGS AND STEAL THINGS WITH IMPUNITY! TILL SOCIETY DEVELOPS A BACK BONE AND STARTS ENFORCING THE LAW THIS MAYHEM AND ANARCHY WILL CONTINUE.
Nigel is a truth teller—the Left cannot stand to have that happening, no matter where they are located.
If you say it like it is and be truthful the left will come at you pitchforks and sickles and call for head on a platter because they prefer to hear lies over truths.
This action is similar to how the CCP behaves in China. Policy disagreement and criticism of the CCP is NOT allowed…just like Mr. Farage’s disagreement with prevailing leftist opinions is not allowed either. People like Farage are forced out of networks and institutions whenever they can manage it. I hope British voters can see the similarities. This is the work of communists/socialists/progressive politics!!!
Surely he doesn’t need to hang-out with these ppl…he can go start his own station? Just compare Fox’s ratings with the ‘rest’ of lefty fake news!
It was not just his comments on the loony left BLM organisation but he highlighted the constant incompetence and lies coming from the Johnson government. The PM’s chief aide Dominic Cummings also hates Nigel Farage so I am sure he put in a word to LBC to help his dismissal. LBC will lose at least 10% of its listeners due to LBC hypocrisy.
When BLM starts caring about black babies, then they will have some creds.
Piers Morgan again. I thought that snot-nosed delinquent liberal had exhausted his list of ways to make America hate him. Wrong. He found this one last item. Oh well, as long as he stays over there, we’ll not return over there and be happy about it.
Political correctness is the order of the day . There is no freedom of expression anymore either on the mass fake news media or western university campuses .
Nigel Farage would make a terrific and honest FOX replacement for Mr. Wallace.
Mr. Wallace and Mr. Morgan are choice candidates for a new game show, lets call it, “WHATS MY GAME?”
I only said it once… Nigel is a conservative like most Americans are. His commentary would be to the point and not beating around the bush like so many news anchors seem to talk. Nigel’s regular presence on FOX would provide an alternate view to Wallace who seems to be challenging conservative ideas.
