Emily Maitlis

This has been a Global Player Original Production.

It took them less than 24 hours to turn this into an absolute shitshow.

But it is what Nigel Farage does.

This is a verbal tick that Farage has perfected where he can always deny what happens next.

Yeah, he was accusing the reform leader of hijacking the death of Henry Novak.

And the question is, was Farage deliberately going against the wishes of the dead boy's father out of desperation?

Welcome to The News Agents.

It's Maitlis.

Yeah, I think it's worth analysing what he does without a sort of lesson in semantics.

Nigel Farage has once again gone as close as he can to what feels like incitement before stepping back and saying, oh, no, I'm just saying you might feel quite angry.

You might feel angry with the system.

You might feel angry with the tragedy.

You might feel angry with the outcome.

I'm not suggesting you do anything.

I'm just saying it would be normal to feel pure cold rage.

This is a verbal tick that Farage has perfected where he can always deny what happens next.

It wasn't him that sent people to Southampton.

It wasn't him that went on the train like Tommy Robinson to go and start chanting words that were almost certainly horrifying to Henry Novak's family and friends.

You know, he can say it wasn't him that injured 11 officers, according to Hampshire police, and a police dog in Southampton.

the protest that took place around Southampton last night, he was just saying, you might feel that.
