    More fool the idiots who didn't realise that Farage does not dictate government policy, is not party of the Conservative government and was nothing more than a mouthpiece.

    More fool the Remainers for winding up the people, too, by patronising them.

    But well done to the government on running yet another great divide and conquer scheme.

    Or you know people formed their own opinion based on what they had seen/read for the previous 20 years?

    I find it rather insulting that people think I based my vote on a few weeks campaigning by some people......

    In fact i would probably go as far to say that anyone who tries to bring any sort of legal action against either the remain or exit campaigns should be told to get lost as they are obviously stupid.

    Farage lied about his lies.

    Footage from BBC Question Time on 9 June – just weeks before the referendum – shows the Ukip leader claiming the available cash was higher than £350 million and saying money should be spent on hospitals and GPs.

    “Can we just get to the truth of this - £350 million a week is wrong, it’s higher than that,” he told the programme’s audience.

    It will be on the wrong paper, it'll be on the Daily Mail who's owner just happens to live abroad as well.
