Brian on BBC question time tomorrow..... with Nigel Farage!

Should be interesting/embarrassing

Freddie was an immigrant. Had him and his family never moved to the UK, we'd never have Queen.

I tried to look up the timing of the interview. Could not find it. However, I found this:

strictly speaking you're incorrect. freddie was not an immigrant.
Freddie was born in Zanzibar, which at the time of his birth was a British Protectorate - which meant that the British Crown/Government had ultimate power and jurisdiction

^ Yeah, didn't think of that. The concept stands though.

Is it that "Ukip" dude, if so isn`t he married with a german wife ?

And what does this have to do with Brian May being on Question Time?

Didn't NME once do a story about what would happen to the music industry if so-called immigrants were all forced to leave? I think it was around 1977/8.

/Twas '78. - with the hilarious headline: "Freddie Mercury deported"
What would happen if the likes of the National Front ever got a powerbase.
Complete with a picture of Fred in black leotard.
I still get the odd twinge in my neck off the whiplash injury I sustained when I initially saw it on a news stand.

Excuse me? Is Brian May going to be on Question Time on his own, singing songs and playing his guitar? As far as I know, Nigel Farage, anti-immigration proponent extraordinaire, is going to be there too. So that might give you a hint to why I think Freddie having been an immigrant has some relation to Farage's ideas, and thus to the programme, because of Farage being on it in his capacity as a politician.

I just find it interesting how as soon as Nigel Farage is mentioned people instantly jump onto his stance on immigration. Farage is not an 'anti-immigration proponent extraordinaire', he simply wants a system which stops people taking the piss. Would you call Australia, an anti immigration country?

Spot on sir. /. \

I will watch with interest. Despite his much vaunted intelligence, I except general vague good guy liberalism from Brian with nothing too original to offer,
