: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?

He sat in for Owain Wynn Evans yesterday and he's in again this Thursday (9th May) and Bank Holiday Monday (27th) Spoony in for Scott Mills from Tuesday 28th till Friday 31st May.

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By GrimsbyGal · Posted

      Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job.

      They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments.

      By GrimsbyGal · Posted

      I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!

      Eurovision 2024

      Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort.

      Eurovision 2024

      By lochnessa · Posted

      I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.

      Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year?

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.

      Was the same vibe on the Easter Monday show they did too. Just random questions and the like…. Katie is definitely the glue around making the show listenable.

      Vick and Jamie together are quite… awkward. Random discussion seems to be at an all time high without Katie. Maybe it’s just that there’s a lack of features today.

      Jamie not even knowing about the big weekend day and the fact he starts the show at 14:00 just says everything.

      I still haven’t forgiven Radio 1 for signing Laing. Vick and Jordan was good, you could hear the chemistry on air

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      I just want to add though that I am beginning to enjoy the show a bit more now that it’s settled in - I think Jamie (when he’s there) has calmed down a bit and then the new features that have been progressively added over the last couple of weeks have been good too.    I still don’t think it’s a patch on Vick and Jordan together, but it is now a show that seems like it could have legs into the future and once Matt and Mollie start in July, I could see myself sticking with R1 all afternoon.

      Capital Summertime Ball 2024

      By BBCAaron · Posted

      I think it’s a slimmer line-up and seems to fall short in previous years where it seemed almost double that I know Raye is booked to perform and is a headline name. I think the issue with a station like capital they are dealing with a rather lacklustre year for pop and theres no real big pulls for pop festivals that are an easy sell out right now. I think Capital has had seen it’s Capital Ball’s as for any generic pop music listener I don’t know whether Bradley Simpson, Aitch and Paul Russel have the universality to play in a stadium even Sugababes think it would be better if they chosen a smaller outdoor location or Wembley arena.
