The King of the swivel eyed loons never dies. (just lies...)

As far as l am concerned the man was full of many toxic untruths...

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

Which could be said for any Political leader of any party, if truth be told.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

i can't believe it i am so shocked i really liked this guy when he opened his mouth and complete b*lls**t came out

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

As he and the party have camaigned for about 20 years for a referendum for Brexit and it has now happened, you could call him the most successful politican of this century. Silly as it sounds.

Name any other politician who has actally achieved this.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

Indeed.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

This +1

He achieved what he set out to do, in the face of considerable adversity, you can't say that for many politicians of whatever colour these days.

Mission accomplished Nige

He;s not stupid, he knows he's got no future.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

Well considering the ridicule, death threats, daughters being threatened with gang rape etc, I don't begruge him stepping down after mananging to do what he set out to do.
I had a drink on Friday night with a chap who set up UKIP with Nigel. The guy has been working at getting us out since 1973! He seemed tired :D

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

He has had a long struggle which has come to fruition. Now he can concentrate his efforts on the Brexit negotiations as an MEP.

Or at least he should, but will the UK Civil Service and the Eurocrats allow him to?

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

After his showing in the recent EU MEP meeting I think he's the last person to be negotiating our exit.If we want a fair and equitable response that is?

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

We'll all miss you, Nige.

Nobody will miss Dave when he's gone.

Hell no.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

I think he has stepped down pre-maturely as the job is not done yet especially as Blair and Mandelson are telling MPs to ignore the Referendum result.

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'll probably get back in the ukip saddle and carry on the fight
