Nigel Farage said he wished the UK had Fox News and the burns kept coming – the hottest 11
It would be fair to say that President Trump’s favourite news outlet, Fox News, is right-leaning; in fact, it leans so far right it’s lying down on its right side with its right cheek pressed firmly into the floor. So, it was no great surprise when arch-Brexiter and seven-times failed parliamentary candidate, Nigel Farage, expressed a wish to have it on the British side of the pond.
If only we had Fox News in the UK. https://t.co/zug16oruED

His comment didn’t go unnoticed on Twitter, with Labour MP, David Lammy reacting like this.
We had Fox News in the UK until 2017. It was canned because the vast majority of the British public rejects your dishonest, far-right politics of division and hate. https://t.co/WmV3OKpf3z

He wasn’t alone.

We can get Fox News here in the UK very easily. Just buy a fish-tank, fill it up with excrement and then sit and watch it all day.

Fox News is to news what WWE is to sport.

If only! Why can’t this country give an honest businessman like Rupert Murdoch a go? After all he’s done for the world?

But someone pointed out a miscalculation.
