As Brexit begins, Tim Sebastian confronts its architect Nigel Farage on whether the break with the EU is making Britain a nastier place. Read more: www.dw.com/en/tv/conflict-zone...
Indeed, it was sooooo nonsensical... no wonder these people are losing. They don't have something called common sense. Such a clueless interviewer...can imagine what kind of organization this DW is.
The thing is I'm not a Farage supporter. I think he is certainly one the best orators in politics in the last 15 years or so. Some of his ideas I disagree with, whilst some I think he has a point. When the interviewer suggested that comment was borderline racist, it just made me think the interviewer had his own agenda. It was a shame as I enjoy watching political leaders being questioned whatever their political views maybe. If the interviewer said the comment was rude, then fine. But racist? Come on. I can just imagine black people who have suffered real racism rolling their eyes at the suggestion that was in anyway racist.
Yeah strange that, he holds such strong views about Obama but not a word of criticism of the clown that is now the President of the USA. I see that despite the promise to put the UK at the head of the queue for a trade deal, after speaking to Merkel Trump now thinks its best to do a deal with a market containing 27 countries rather than just the one so it appears we have been bumped backwards. Looks as if his prediction that the EU was going to fall apart when the UK left isn't going to materialize and France is about to reject Le Pen so its not going to well for the anti EU crowd at the moment.
I don't know if you are serious or you are joking. If the interviewer believed that was the case then he should have explained it better. I've heard people be called a 'loathsome creature' before but it's never had racist undertones. I wouldn't be surprised if Farage thought Tony Blair and Jean Claude Juncker were loathsome creatures.
The same insult can have different perceived effects when addressed towards individuals of different races. I don't care for the insult 1 way or another I was just explaining what the insult was about.
As a Nigel Farage fan I actually like this interview. Tim's hardball interview style punishes politicians who play safe and avoid giving straight answers. With that being said, Tim calling Nigel's comment on Obama racist was unfair and half-witted.
Remember when politics was boring and politicians were mundane? Then Farage came along and give them all a kick up the arse, the media too and they don't like it. Nigel Farage, you the man.
Criticism (soft or hard) is a part of Western democracy. Even that I'm pro-EU hardliner, Brussels would be just another Beijing if they're trying to shut off Farage.
sch7458 the interviewer called farage racist for criticising Obama. This is not journalism. It's a liberal trying to make farage out as something he's not.
There are enough issues around him about racism. For instance: www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/06/nigel-farage-accused-of-age-old-racist-claim-in-linking-migrants-to-sexual-assault But apart from that, I don't care whether Farage is racist or not. I don't know what is your criteria regarding journalism. He can be racist or not racist, anything he wants to be - as long as he stays out of EU business after March 2019, it's good enough for me.
If the fool didn't have someone dig out everything that other people said, claimed or visualized, he wouldn't have had anything to say. As soon as an interviewer won't allow anyone to answer their question or refute a statement without interrupting them, you know they are a low-quality interviewer.
I always hate it when the interviewer is more interested in what he/she is saying that the answers/responses from the guest; more could have been said and the interview been a lot better if he'd let nigel answer, and not sounded so shrill
I thought this Sebastian fellow was quite a revered interviewer but after this performance it's quite apparent that he should have done his homework before tackling Mr Farage.
SIR NIGEL FARAGE SPEAKS THE TRUTH............THEREFORE HE IS MY HERO............. RESTORES OUR FAITH IN OURSELVES >>>>>>> RULE BRITANNIA........ GOD BLESS NIGEL.
WoW What an interview !! Nigel Farage keeps his cool, keeps it factual and stands his ground. I have nothing but tremendous respect for Nigel Farage, he tells it like it is and is clear and precise with regard to his goals.
This guy is an awful interviewer! You've asked the question now let them damn answer it for themselves without interrupting every second and answering it for him. Let the man godamn speak!
Mr Sebastian's bosses looking at this interview must surely have come to the conclusion that this guy needs to be put out to pasture pretty damn quick..Terrible demeanor!
Nigel Farage is just incredible. Probably the best orator I've seen, and absolutely incredible at debates or interviews. Under pressure and baited at every turn, I am at awe at how he can keep emotion out of it (or at the exact right amount) and to give a cogent argument in milliseconds
By 5 minutes in, as a first time viewer, beholding the contemptuous behavior of the host, I struggled to demonstrate the social reservation becoming of a civilized & decent person. Nigel, I applaud you for your remarkable comportment in the face of this vile chicanery.
One thing that stood out remarkably was how Tim Sebastian, in his bid bring out the racist in Farage(Ahem..ahem), brought out his own(though, I don't believe he is one.)
Tim Sebastian - displaying his impartiality here !!! Why can’t any media platform say anything positive about Brexit ? For all their efforts they will not out do Nigel. Brexit Party got my vote all day long !!!!!
It is the journalist job to ask sometimes difficult and offensive questions? But to the interviewee, trumps to them who handle it with professionalism and maturity aka Nigel....ps did you notice the English socks at the end of the interview? What a patriot.
This had all the prospects of being an interesting interview but the interviewer completely ruined it. I hope the UK just walks way and goes to WTO terms. This is the same basis we do 60% of our trade already.
Yes I know many don't like the chap interviewing Farage, yes I don't like him, but this was a different type of interview, one where there is a 30min joust old school style, it is good to see Farage light on his feet in such a combative interview, he would have known full well what to expect from this DW chap and dispatched him accordingly, unscathed.
Normally, I detest violence, but if Nigel were ever minded - just once - to give Tim Sebastian (or any other similarly supercilious interviewer) a great sock on the jaw - I'd happily pay his fine. And I'm sure I'm not alone in that sentiment...............................
Nigel, who never is responsible for nothing, who never said england is paying 350mio Pound a week to the EU instead of realistic 190 without the repayments, and what about the: "Let's fund our NHS instead"? They told you to give all the money into the Helth system, did they?
To me, I cannot believe that Nigel is still going strong after having to continually defend his beliefs against the world! He is the only one I know who speaks for the people. His knowledge is second to none. If he gives up, we’re totally doomed. Every interviewer is out to get him and yet he still stands his ground. If anyone should run the country, it’s him.
Not only Ulster is a nightmare to manage now ( and for a long time ), and let's not forget the anglo normans islands about fishing rights and trade routes ( look at a map ).
Tim Sebastian is such an annoying man. It's all about his interviewing style which is so irritating. Good to see that Nigel can squash him on every question. In fact I cannot watch all the interview because of Sebastian's approach.
I can tell you this. It would be totally stupid to think we could stay in the EU and not find the UK seriously divided. In fact, when the EU get their army to quell any chance of a member leaving the regime you will find the UK in a civil war. We are best out and out completely, why? For the very same reason, we were not associated with the Stalin regime.
Tim Sebastian should do more research as he is way off the mark with his comments and is digging out comments from 3 years ago. The majority of UK business people do not need any agreement to export or import their goods.
Why are so many blind to this historically courageous attempt o save the Kingdom and the existences of the natives unto the antecedents of a country nation's creation and fundemantals???
Four years later, Farage lost every bet he made in this interview... His inability to listen is costing the British people a lot of money as well as political influence...
What makes these News Media so special where everyone else has to suffer while these business people needs to get real.. How arrogant that this world should live with New Media's that only care about there jobs..

The interviewer lost me when he said calling Obama a loathsome creature was 'borderline racist'.

Nigel Farage, you the man.
here here hurrah for farage breath of fresh air and still retains his humour
He does crack me up. Best PM we never had.
so...
cos they are threatened by him
+philajfran Farage is an MP all right, an MEP in fact. Britain kept him out of parliament, but the "undemocratic" EU didn't. Telling.
how can farage stay so calm?
This man is clever, clever, clever. The journalist did everything to get him riled and he refused to bite; he out-fenced him in every way.
Tim quit butting in on the man and let him answer questions.
you can't barrage the Farage he always gets his point across.
Is this guy here to interview farage or just to take out his clear dislike for him?
It's called journalism.
sch7458 😂... Ok then

one great guy Nigel Farage
zac anthony i
He's a lying POS
he certainly made england great again ... what a plonker
God bless Nigel Farage... and the English Channel!
This interviewer is completely out of his depth
If the fool didn't have someone dig out everything that other people said, claimed or visualized, he wouldn't have had anything to say. As soon as an interviewer won't allow anyone to answer their question or refute a statement without interrupting them, you know they are a low-quality interviewer.
thats the way we like it...spread the word.
Nigel Farage deserves to be knighted!
I always hate it when the interviewer is more interested in what he/she is saying that the answers/responses from the guest; more could have been said and the interview been a lot better if he'd let nigel answer, and not sounded so shrill
Leftist spy
I've never seen such a desperate, dishonest host, try so hard to pick a fight. Well done Nigel, you have a really long fuse.
Bad manners in interviews got a new name: Tim Sebastian.
This interviewer did exactly the same thing with Dan Hannan- just kept quoting other people and asking for a comment on it.
He's a great man!
Hahaha😀😀😀😀😀😀
I thought this Sebastian fellow was quite a revered interviewer but after this performance it's quite apparent that he should have done his homework before tackling Mr Farage.
Nigel Farage is scared of no interview regardless of the opposition. This is a true rarity this day and age. Incredible!
Tim Sebastian's farther must be ashamed.
The interviewer: Horrible little man. I didn't finish the video.
SIR NIGEL FARAGE SPEAKS THE TRUTH............THEREFORE HE IS MY HERO............. RESTORES OUR FAITH IN OURSELVES >>>>>>> RULE BRITANNIA........ GOD BLESS NIGEL.
This was well played, Nigel had his behavior put to the test... and as far as i am concerned he passed.
Tim Sebastian, what a provocative little annoyance
little YES
"making Britain a nastier place", phrases like that are right out of children's playgrounds and kindergarten.
I know Tim Sebastian has a job to do but what a prat
prat doin its thing
WoW What an interview !! Nigel Farage keeps his cool, keeps it factual and stands his ground. I have nothing but tremendous respect for Nigel Farage, he tells it like it is and is clear and precise with regard to his goals.
This guy is an awful interviewer! You've asked the question now let them damn answer it for themselves without interrupting every second and answering it for him. Let the man godamn speak!
I love how Nigel always keeps a cheeky smirk on his face and stays calm whilst dealing with those inflicted with horrible mental disease of leftism.

Like A Well Placed Stallion, from our Vitorious Age, Steam Punk'n oiled
this isn't an Interview. It's a row of interruptions!
You cant knock him off song.Good on yer Nigel.
Time Tim to give your interviewing career up,your no more of an interviewer than I am an astronaut.
By 5 minutes in, as a first time viewer, beholding the contemptuous behavior of the host, I struggled to demonstrate the social reservation becoming of a civilized & decent person.
Nigel, I applaud you for your remarkable comportment in the face of this vile chicanery.
Nigel neutralised every synical attack.
What a pretentious interviewer. You almost want to knock his dentures out.
"WHENEVER YOU FIND THAT YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE MAJORITY , ITS TIME TO REFORM "!!!!
Typical gammon comment
Tim at least let the man speak, regardless of your own political views this should be the most decent thing to do. Shocking!
One thing that stood out remarkably was how Tim Sebastian, in his bid bring out the racist in Farage(Ahem..ahem), brought out his own(though, I don't believe he is one.)
NIGEL FARAGE...the voice of reason

I couldn’t be more opposed to the political position of Nigel Farage, but credit where credit is due....he is a brilliant debater.
Tim, Tim, you are unworthy even to bring a glass of water for Sir Farage.
Good God, who Hired an undertaker to interview?
!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep.
Arise Sir Nigel.
why ? toad of toad hall the tax avoiding EU 50K pension man .
@@mrspone1000 To be fair, he wouldn't be the first.
This had all the prospects of being an interesting interview but the interviewer completely ruined it. I hope the UK just walks way and goes to WTO terms. This is the same basis we do 60% of our trade already.
I remember hearing him utter that which had become a beautiful claymore in these years of reckoning
.well done young man!!
TIM should go back to history, he looks like an artefact missing from 2 B.C .
STIR UP THE POT AND THEN PLAY THE BLAME GAME - EXCELLENT TACTIC MR FARAGE.
"i would rather be a poor master than a rich servant", Michael Caine.
The interviewer seemed to be won over By Nigel's answers But tried to hide it
Its very very difficult to have a conversation with someone who doesn't understand and only undermine the common people......
If there was ever a single individual who, more than any other, was entitled to claim sole credit for Brexit. It must surely be Nigel Farage.
Yep
What a venomous, angry, rather silly old interviewer making a complete spectacle of himself.
Yes I know many don't like the chap interviewing Farage, yes I don't like him, but this was a different type of interview, one where there is a 30min joust old school style, it is good to see Farage light on his feet in such a combative interview, he would have known full well what to expect from this DW chap and dispatched him accordingly, unscathed.
Normally, I detest violence, but if Nigel were ever minded - just once - to give Tim Sebastian (or any other similarly supercilious interviewer) a great sock on the jaw - I'd happily pay his fine.
And I'm sure I'm not alone in that sentiment...............................
No idea why Nigel Farage is in any way responsible for that bus.
Nigel Farage 👏👏👏👏👏💥
18:29 Well said!
This "journalist" is a joke...
good man Nigel
I think Sebastian is in love! Grand job Farage!
Nigel, who never is responsible for nothing, who never said england is paying 350mio Pound a week to the EU instead of realistic 190 without the repayments, and what about the: "Let's fund our NHS instead"? They told you to give all the money into the Helth system, did they?

24:11 owns it
When is Tim coming back...
Lol. What a hilarious interview. Nigel Is nothing if not entertaining. You have got to like him.
Spot on!
Neither friends nor enemies forever in the context of politics .
Didn't he used to be on Ch4?
This interviewer is off is rocker! What an embarrassment.
Haha these reporters always lose
Good interview with a genuine feel of conflicting views. 4/5
Oh blimey, where did they dig Tim up from, he gets mashed in most interviews, how biased is he? Give it up fella, ya lost...Will . Nantwich Massive.
Obama saying we would be at the back of the queue is not an insult Mr Sebastian?
Best episodes ever......
I wonder if Sebastian has ever done anything with his life other than criticise people.
criticising stupid people . who wouldnt that ?
1:48. Was it a middle finger gesture?
Yes - they changed Britain but Europe and the world too! But what is if Britain will lose this game?
Not only Ulster is a nightmare to manage now ( and for a long time ), and let's not forget the anglo normans islands about fishing rights and trade routes ( look at a map ).

Keep quoting other people and then ask nigel to comment on it - and this is technique? ???

Badger,Badger,Badger-Weird interviewer what has he done.
Tim Sebastian is making the world a nastier place.
I bet that interviewers teeth are glad when he is asleep

Tim has met his match. I think Tim admires Farage
The truth hurts mate. 🙄🙄
Farage stood the test.. Thank you Michael
Never choose a leader who tells that is always others fault!
Mr Farage deserves a Lordship for his work for Great Britain. Yes Lord Nigel Farage.
Thank god for st Nigel of farage
