A Nigel Farage super-fan left LBC’s Lewis Goodall utterly stunned this week. Goodall, standing in for James O’Brien, faced a caller whose devotion to Farage bordered on the surreal. Even after hearing three clips, it’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry.
🐇 The rabbit hole caller
The caller hurled praises at Farage like confetti—every sentence more over-the-top than the last. He insisted Farage stood alone as Britain’s saviour and treated any criticism as a personal betrayal. At one point, Goodall’s disbelief was so apparent that he muttered, “I can’t even…” The sheer intensity of the fanaticism left listeners flipping between bewilderment and amusement.
📰 Farage doubles down on “Herald collusion”
This bizarre call came amid Farage’s latest media outburst in Scotland. He accused The Herald of tipping off anti-racism protesters, claiming they acted “with the deliberate intention of trying to provoke violence.” In Aberdeen, Stand Up to Racism activists heckled him relentlessly. Later, they planned more protests in Hamilton.
Farage minced no words when asked if he’d feared speaking to Scottish voters:
“What a load of cobblers. I had 18 journalists in a room yesterday in Aberdeen and took questions from every single one of them. Keir Starmer would have taken three, Kemi would have taken two. No, absolute nonsense.”
He added:
“What we did have yesterday, though, was a newspaper called The Herald in Scotland informing protest groups like Antifa where I was going to be with a deliberate intention of trying to provoke violence and discomfort.
“And so, yeah, did we give The Herald and others the slip and go and do campaigning in the streets, meeting normal people without a bunch of thugs with masks on? Yes.”
🤯 Goodall’s “head-in-hands” moment
Throughout the call, Goodall’s patience cracked. He visibly shook his head, rubbed his temples and—at one point—closed his eyes in exasperation. The fanatic’s utter refusal to entertain any viewpoint but Farage’s proved Too Much: Too Far.
