He'll probably want to bang a few heads along with a few million other people.

And to think we thought having a referendum would sort all this out but we are still not better off. We're just lost in a political limbo.

We'll only have a better idea of what is happening after the new PM is elected and we see not only their strategy for dealing with the Referendum vote and the EU, but also get some idea of what the EU response is going to be if and when negotiations start.

Interestingly, a number of non-EU countries including Australia, South Korea, India and others have expressed an interest in doing free trade deals with the UK.

Wonder what Nigel's reaction will be if everything falls through and we still end up staying in the EU?




he can lead the civil war .

job well done Nigel time for a beer

Did anyone notice the amount of applause he got in the EU chamber when he made his "victory" speech? He has a lot of like-minded allies in the EU.

Yes mostly from our equivelant of the BNP.

Wonder what his chances are of becoming a Lord? ;)

This picture sums him up, saint to some, hitler type cad to others, in truth though he's neither but I still quite like him, at least he isn't boring.

At least he stood down unlike a certain arse i can think of. when the end comes you should accept it with grace not hang on and on until someone kicks you out.

He fought for 1 thing and succeeded, well done for that with accompanying lies or not.
When you look at the rest of them none are saints. If there was a general election tomorrow i dont think i could vote :erm:

Farage gave us something none of the others wanted to - the right to choose our future. For that he ought to be congratulated and we should be asking why none of the others were interested in that basic freedom.

As for the rest, well it'd be nice if they got back to the concept of at least attempting to deliver what they've gone around promising* but of course it's far easier just to lie, especially at election time.


(* no plans to increase taxes, net migration in the tens of thousands, British jobs for British workers, no increase in tuition fees, an end to the cycle of boom and bust, secure borders to name but a few)

The irony being that both the Leave and Remain campaigns promised things they are going to be unable to deliver. Including Farage, who despite his denials did say about money being re-directed to the NHS.

Well yes.

Frankly on the Richter scale of deception in politics, Farage comes well down the list, however.
