Conservative British politician and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has left his talk show at LBC radio after he made comments comparing the Black Lives Matter supporters to the Taliban. Farage faced a storm of backlash after tweeting about protesters demonstrating against police brutality and racial discrimination. “A new form of the Taliban was born in the UK today,” Farage tweeted Sunday. "The Nigel Farage Show" began in 2017 and aired five days a week. "Nigel Farage’s contract with LBC is up very shortly and, following discussions with him, Nigel is stepping down from LBC with immediate effect," the network posted.
