So we have discovered another Brexit dividend but this one is NOT for the EU but for Hedge Funds.

I fail to see how traders gambling, as they do each day, has anything to do with brexit or those who voted for brexit.

The perfect summary of your average Brexiteer there.

Personally i feel it's more idiotic to brandish every brexit voter with "they are idiots, look what this one single person said" than it is for the person to have said it in the first place.

Easy enough to post stupid remainer tweets too, such as "will I still be able to go on holiday to Europe?". But we don't. Generally because posting such drivel would be pathetic.

So I've sat through all 11 minutes of that video and none of the meanings of the quotes changed. Only a madman would leave the market; is talking about either membership or a FTA, and both are true. Farage talking about EEA as a transition is valid, but where are the calls for that now? I believe that idea was brought up by remainers and shot down as not leaving enough.

So what point we're you trying to make? Please don't make me watch another YouTube video that doesn't make the point.

Let's face it; most of the public's only real interaction with the EU is their summer holidays, so "can I still go on holiday?" Is valid point from either side. Leaving the EU because we always lose the Eurovision is never a valid point.


Personally I'm still concerned about how much extra time this is going to waste for me at airports and customs. Because I often carry high value industrial equipment with me when I pop over to the EU. If I have to pay fees on it that'll really suck too.

You really don't see that Farage blatantly lying minutes after the referendum closed in order to profit his pals was wrong? The fact is that with inside information they weren't gambling. They were backing a sure fire winner.

It can be little surprise to many people that he did it though. After all he has been lying for years and it's well documented.

Two years on and some people are still playing what-would-Nigel-do.

This is the way it is.

Of course they see what's wrong. But they can't say they do, because the only thing worse than being taken for a mug by a politician, economic disaster or crying kids is admitting you got something wrong.

I think the news here is that people are still surprised that team UK just doesn't seem to get it. Verhofstat must be getting sick of explaining it, too.

Leaving the EU means leaving all EU institutions, no exceptions. None.

If you could explain to me how Nigel Farage could have known before counting that leave would definately win to enable traders to make tens of thousand of pounds - please do explain away.

How on earth can you class this as a lie?

I mean, I know Nigel Farage is pretty clued up - but this? Come on now.

It's absolutely no different to Tim Farron stating quite comfortably before counting finished that "Remain had it in the bag". Are you claiming that's a lie too? Or is that somehow different? Or just merely an inconvenience to be ignored?

Talk about scratching around the bottom of the barrel. Careful now...you'll wear it out.

But confusing airbus with an airline isn't ok and deserves plastering all over the internet, personal details and all?

I don't even know what to say.
