Brexit, the economy and house prices part 5

Iro - I couldn't care less a out your empathy. Thankfully I'll never need to put up with you in real life, so what you feel about me is irrelevant.

Graham - he had information not yet available to the public showing him a very likely leave win before he made his concession claims. That's suspicious, No?

What did Nigel do wrong? He lied about the outcome of the referendum based on inside information in order to manipulate market confidence to make his friends lots of money.

Why else would he just resign himself to a loss that narrow?

That's not it. He made a statement that he knew would have an effect on markets before the result was known, and the result of that statement meant a lot of his chums made out like bandits.

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.

How about this... Farage and his pals hired pollsters and got their findings as the polls closed (or perhaps even a little before). The money men put their stakes on as Farage told the markets that we were going to remain.

It apparently cost $1m to hire the pollsters and there were hundreds of millions of pounds to be made.

If you want to believe that Farage wouldn’t dream of lying then that’s up to you. The evidence that I’ve seen of him over the last few years leads me to think that he and his hedge fund mates pulled a fast one.

Nope sorry this is far too complicated and clearly wrong for reasons which cannot be explained.

I'm good at this, I should swap sides

More likely Gina Miller is the one who lost her hedge fund clients large sums........

In the absence of a crayon I'm out of ways to explain that this has nothing to do with Farage being able to predict the future. I'm fairly certain I already stated that obviously isn't the case.

I'm not saying he lied and neither is the article. I'm bereft of ways to help you with this.

It's impossible to lie about something where the truth isn't known.

Well you all seem to be contradicting each other just trying to explain it. Have a look above your post...

Quite amusing.

Not as amusing as the people who still think that Farage ever tells the truth about anything. He played 52% of the referendum voters and looks like he'll get away with it.

Farage was certainly in on the deception, Banks has already admitted to lying about the EU to get people to vote to leave.

Considering pretty much the entire remain campaign was based on known lies (especially now, after the event, we can look back at what was stated) I feel this complaining of lies (when it wasn't anyway), is somewhat hypocritical.

Emergency budget anyone?
