:shock:

Mr Farage's agent Chris Adams gives details about the accident

The former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage said he was "lucky to be alive" after his plane crashed in Northamptonshire.

The aircraft came down at Hinton-in-the-Hedges Airfield near Brackley.

Mr Farage is being treated at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford for broken ribs and other minor injuries. Pilot, Justin Adams, is also in hospital.

It is thought the aircraft came down when a trailing campaign banner became entangled.

'Trapped in wreckage'

Party leader Lord Pearson said Mr Farage had been visited by his wife in hospital.

:D ! First time voter here ! :D

I wish Nigel Farage a swift and full recovery. Not a fan of the guy at all, but I commend him for standing against The Speaker in Buckingham. He actually stands a very good chance of winning. There's something weirdly likeable about him: good sense of humour, charismatic, real, true, honest. Sadly it's his policies and ideologies where he fails miserably IMO.

I voted Labour. Although I do wish both the Lib Dems and Greens the very best too! :)

And on a side note, Paul Merton presenting The One Show tonight :confused: weird..

Silence speaks volumes. I don't like how they propose to remove all 'non English' Doctors and Nurses so they can be 'used in their own countries where they are needed more.' Or words to that effect, the Manifesto won't load for me

take control

Take a look at their policies.

To name a couple...

Stopping ALL foreign aid. (Kicking Africa in the balls)

At the risk of getting a barrage of abuse, I don;t actually see why money raised from taxes by people working in Britain should be shipped abroad, fair enough if individuals themselves want to do this, but it should be down to each person to make that decision not for it to be made for them. Its not as if we're likely to see a return on it.

Oh, and I didn't vote BNP either in the proper elections or on this poll before anyone says I did

I read into their manifesto a bit more concerning that bit cos I was curious to learn more about it.

We reject the idea that Britain must forever be obliged to subsidise the incompetence and corruption of Third World states by supplying them with financial aid. We will link foreign aid with our voluntary resettlement policy, whereby those nations taking significant numbers of people back to their homelands will need cash to help absorb those returning. The billions of pounds saved every year by this policy will also be reallocated to vital services in Britain.

I think the first part is a very valid point, its not fair that Britain is givin other countries cash to help them out. Equally I don't think it would be right for foreign countries to be bailing us out either when we're up sh*t creek. I'm not too sure how I feel about this resettlement thing either.

My main problem is I think their immigration stance goes too far, some immigrants in this country are really just here for an easy ride and these ones need to be stopped, however there are also those out there who work hard for their money. For example there are 5 Poles at my work, I don't know 1 of them because we don't work the same shift although I'm told he's pretty good, and I know the other 4 are really good and they work for their money, and 1 in particular is probably the hardest working people in the building and its really noticed when he's off.

On a side note, I noticed there wasnt a BNP candidate in my area, I wouldnt have voted for them but how can they claim to be British and National if not everyone has the option to vote for them?

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
