There were more shocking moments to come in the debate as Farage later compared the Black Lives Matter Movement to the Taliban.
Farage remarked: “The Taliban love to blow and destroy monuments form a different time.
“What we saw at the weekend was the worst form of mob rule.”
He also likened the Black Lives Matter movement to a “far-left Marxist organisation”.

Piers then questioned Farage on whether he thought it was right that there aren’t statues of Adolf Hitler in Germany.
The GMB host asked: “Sorry I don’t want to be pedantic, but should a statue of Adolf Hitler be in Germany?”
Nigel said: “You’re right, you’re being very pedantic.
“Piers I know you want to play this game and you wonder why people don’t want to come on our programme.”
After further probing by Piers, Nigel finally admitted that it is right that there aren’t Hitler statues in Germany.

Dr Shola also furiously disagreed with Farage about his views on the statue being taking down, simply stating: “Properties can be replaced, black lives can’t.”
