It's like when Nick Griffin was on AQ all the liberals patted themselves on the back for "showing him up", when actually they just reinforced how aloof they were from huge sections of the population.
The same thing happens to Farage whenever he's on a similar show and the panel made from the same Oxbridge institutional clique gang up on him (Dimbleby included). They all seem blind to how it appears to other people.
I think this is true (although, lest we forget, posho Farage didn't exactly go to very different schools than those ganging up on him there).
There's a similar opinion here in John Harris' piece on Trump supporters:

The only thing I wonder is whether people underestimate the popularity of Farage. That article seems to be taking the same elitist view that the majority of people watching a Cameron / Farage débate will write Farage off as a nutter.
