As I said old Boy, why do you trust someone who's known for bending the truth? Do you not think that's a bit risky, even if you find his populistic approach easy on the ear?

Some evidence, particularly 01:16

So your evidence is based on this one quote, which was Farage trying to make a point:

“would it be so bad if, according to Mr Cameron, if we behave like Norway, life would be terrible. I mean, God, we’d all be rich! we were like Norway. We’d be rich”.

He was referring to the nonsense of the statement made by Cameron about Norway. Now the mischief makers have turned that into an allegation that Farage wanted to stay within the single market!

Staying within the Single Market was never an option for Brexiteers because it would involve the free movement of people. It also involves abiding by EU laws and accepting judgements of the ECJ.

Finally, I was not asking you about whether or not Farage was telling the truth. You avoided the question, which was where was your proof that he said that.

Your example(s) (they both contain the same quote) do not prove your point at all.

It was prior to but not after the referendum.

I think the evidence is that we have not been able to secure a Canadian type trade deal. You know this to be true, so why do you perversely act as if you don’t know what I am talking about?

It is unreasonable when trade deals are being offered to other countries but not ours. My friend.
