    Arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage thinks Brexit has failed.

    After months of lying to the British people, screwing over GB and becoming a meme, reactionary fuck Farage thinks he might have been wrong. But it gets better:

    The former Brexit Party leader told the BBC in May that the U.K. had not benefited economically from leaving the bloc, blaming the ruling Conservatives for having “let us down very, very badly.”

    So, no. He wasn’t wrong. How could he ever be wrong?! Like a wise man with a funny voice once said: It wasn’t me.

      If you click the link to the article about him saying it failed, he says:

      Asked if the U.K. would have been better off remaining in the EU Farage insisted he didn’t “think that for a moment.”

      So I think he’s sticking to his guns that leaving was better than staying. The situation sucks for everyone in the UK :(

            And yet current worldwide politics shows us it does work for the benefit of politicians, military juntas and Big Business.

            Time to eat the rich for real.

      Well, he made so many contradicting promises. It would be impossible to implement his Brexit. Pretty sure tha was his plan. When he offered full control over our trade, laws and migration. While also claiming we could be like EEA nations.

        Bingo. It’s a typical populist tactic. Over promise, then blame it on the person who gets stuck implementing their shitty plan.
