BBC Make-Up Artists Accused of Smearing Saliva and Other Bodily Fluids on Reform Leader Nigel Farage
Make-up artists at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) are facing allegations they smeared saliva and other bodily fluids on the face of Reform Party leader Nigel Farage.
According to the historian and best-selling author Lisa Hilton, who has presented numerous BBC TV documentaries, Farage was repeatedly dolled up with contaminated brushes.
“Naming no names, but Nigel Farage might want to start doing his own face, given the extraordinarily imaginative range of natural cosmetics which the brushes are loaded with when he’s in the chair,” she wrote in The Critic magazine.
BBC presenter Lisa Hilton has revealed that makeup artists at the channel were putting “human saliva” and “other bodily fluids” on Nigel Farage’s face.
This is not just disgusting, it is criminal. There must be a full investigation.

The allegations ring all the truer when you consider that Farage has made abolishing the BBC license fee one of his political priorities should he win the next election.
While not technically a tax, the so-called license fee is an around $250 payment to the corporation for the right to consume BBC content, whether they wish to or not.
The corporation has been under greater pressure than ever of late after it was caught editing a Panorama documentary in which President Trump was made to look like he directly ordered his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol during the January 6th protests.
The BBC has since issued a formal apology to Trump, while both its Director General Tim Davie and Head of BBC News Deborah Turness have resigned in disgrace.

Trump has since pledged to file a multi-billion dollar lawsuit against the corporation, which they have insisted they will fight.
’While the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in which the video clip was edited, we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim,” the BBC press office said in a statement.
‘I am just horrified and embarrassed.’
