Nigel Farage refuses to directly apologise to Rishi Sunak over racist comments by Reform activists

Nigel Farage claims it was all a set up - after this programme exposed racist and homophobic language among Reform party campaigners, filmed secretly by an undercover reporter. But the Reform leader did say that those who had been "vulgar, drunken and wrong" had been drummed out of the party.

Rishi Sunak - who deliberately repeated the P-word slur used against him, said it was too important not to call out the language "clearly, for what it is".

And a warning there is some highly offensive and racist language in this report - including the word repeated by the Prime Minister.

The police need to speak to Andrew Parker, they have him on film making racist comments, is making racist comments not against the law ?

[flashback]

This is going to backfire on channel 4. Totally staged

[martinlaw]

The public clearly ain't buying this nonsense judging by the comments.

[SandraBryant-qoel]

You forgot to mention that Andrew Parker was talking in his specialist "rough" actors voice rather than his own natural voice which is a bit of a clue that he considered this to be an acting role. We know mainstream media are biased but this is on a whole other level.

They are 5hitting their pants aren't they? 🤣

Why should Farage apologise over your actor? Sunak will get over it he is off to California.

[stevefdarby]

I think Rishi Sunak should go on national TV and apologize for his derogatory remarks.

[JosephBarnett-ojuq]

That’s because you set it up with an actor .

This is going to end very badly for channel 4

Reform reform reform all day long, fed up of these propaganda set ups.

What a surprise that the Labour candidate for Clacton, whose primary campaign advertisement was to characterise himself as somebody who enjoys 'White men tears', would receive some kind of 'unpleasant treatment'. Whoever could have possibly seen such a thing coming?

[jackwhitehead]

Channel 4 actively interfering with democracy, disgusting.

[houstandy]

He’s an actor, don’t trust the main stream media

[geoffnichols]

I think not only the police but the electoral commission need to investigate this, it seems so strange that the only person this so called reporter went out with on his first outing, hoping for controversy, just happens to get it, coincedence I do not think so.

[janereid]

All set up, including Sunak's response. Nice try, folks - what a shame your scam got exposed!

[staceysteele]

Oh behave, it was a set up, he's a paid actor of Channel 4 😂 the lengths they will go to

Hello Channel 4 News, could you please persuade LEE SORRELL MEDIA, the company you used to help produce the report involving actor Andrew Parker to let the public know what work they did?
Questions have been asked of them, but they have given no answers. Thank you.

I cannot believe The Times got suckered into putting this on their front page.

BUSTED! Hope they get sued to oblivion.
