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!
Watch the recording - Farage said "We'll find ourselves part of the European Economic Area, and with a free trade deal."

Watch the recording and hear the Brexiters lining up to contradict you.

Dan Hannan, Vote Leave "Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the Single Market"

Owen Paterson "Only a madman would leave the Market."

Arron Banks "Increasingly, the Norway option looks the best for the UK."
Will you be a gentleman and accept you are wrong?

Your example(s) (they both contain the same quote) do not prove your point at all.
How many more examples do you want? The one above in which Farage says we'll find ourselves part of the European Economic Area suffices.
