Pub bore with no pub to go to Nigel Farage is to go head to head with Al Murray's pub landlord in Thanet where he is standing for election with the Free United Kingdom party. The pub landlord said: "It seems to me that the UK is ready for a bloke waving a pint around, offering common sense solutions." UKIP responded: "At last, serious competition in the constituency." While unlike the BBC we think there is such a thing as 'too much Farage coverage' we do have some ideas about who we would like to see him debate...
1. My first reaction was that as he always reminds me of a carp I would like to see him debate one. Underwater. But I think it would be better for everyone if Farage had to debate, sensibly, calmly and at length, any one of the hard working immigrants in this country. I could recommend several I live and work with - a Bulgarian architect; a Swiss marketing manager; a Belgian helpline operator; a German secretary to the head of UKIP... Squeamish Louise
2. I'm going to treat this 'Who would I like to see Nigel Farage up against in a debate?' the same way I treat the 'Who would you have, past or present, at your ultimate dinner party?' I would summon the dead to battle Farage with an apocalyptic political rhetoric that had never before fallen on the ears on the living. Maybe every immigrant ever to grace the shores of the UK would rise from the grave to give him a piece of their mind. I understand this scenario is rather indulgent and I would expect it to end in a horror movie style where Farage gets sucked into a vortex that appears in his bottom and the a sucks him into oblivion.

3. Is it inappropriate to say I'd like to see him debate a firing squad? Or a cruise missile? Or a T-Rex with PMT and anger management issues? I think you see where I'm going with this... F1Kate
4. Who would I like to see Farage up against in a debate? I don't know. I think the most annoying thing about the man is that he never seems ruffled (apart from the time he was in that plane crash). This is perhaps something to do with the ever present pint in his hand. This is a man who enjoys a laugh. So let's put him up against a comedian. I'd like to see Farage debate Stewart Lee.
