Brexit: A Very British Coup?

[@Clausewitzz]

Farage and Hesseltine together in that LBC waiting room looked awesome. In the end all of this happened becaus of Farage and not some family row in the conservative party, Farage is why it really happened.

[@thewalpoleone]

Has Bob Geldof actually got any refugees in his house? He was on the front page of the papers way back in September 2015, saying 'I will immediately take in 4 families to my home (Davinston Priory in Kent) as it's the decent thing to do.' Anybody on here live near him? Can they confirm he has done so?

[@peterschiff4236]

The BBC are so bias I stopped paying for a licence.

[@robw7676]

I remember the 1997 general election as it was the first I could vote in. UKIP were a tiny fringe party. From that to Brexit in 20 years is astonishing. Trying to dismiss Farage as some sort of lunatic was a big big mistake. Whether he's remembered as a hero or villain, time will tell - but he will certainly be remembered.

[@dm0065]

I dont get all the hate for Farage, he's treated like a fascist or racist or something. I don't see any of it. Disagreeing with him is one thing but all this vitriol is ridiculous, and it probably helps to keep him prominent. He makes good use of his enemies.

[@Mediumal]

Anyone opposed to the status-quo i.e unlimited immigration, multiculturalism, EU hegemony, is immediately cast as a xenophobic "Little Englander"... That has been an agreed approach by those welded to our continued membership of the EU for years. Any debate, however, reasoned or even mildly questioning that challenges this "accepted" view as a given, is pounced on and those advocating something different are attacked mercilessly. It is done basically to try to close down any debate. It's also counter-productive because genuine racists can play a victimisation card and garner underground support for their odious views.

[@boum62]

Nicholas Soames feeling physically ill - presumably in case he had fewer cheap servants entering the UK

[@MusbCrazy80]

eh? Cameron refused flat out to debate farage face to face...

[@nukage2]

cause he knew he would get owned :D

[@jonathanbywater2063]

Love Nigel: "A Pint of Farage please" Nicholas Soames comes cross as an arrogant, sneering snob. No doubt he doesn't notice any of the issues that other people refer to because there is no evidence of them in his London Club. It is interesting to see the views saying that David Cameron was a Remainer, so he couldn't possibly lead the process now. So they selected another Remainer. What a mistake that has proven to be. What a farce. Gisela Stuart: " They won a great victory then threw it away" Moral of the story: never trust the devious and self serving Michael Gove. He is devoid of principle and is not to be trusted. He is the truly toxic one. He will always be remembered as such.

[@jambojambo313]

Amazing, a none elected person like Farage can make such a change - now that's power.

[@anghinetti]

Jambo Jambo: Nigel Farage is elected: he is a duly-elected Member of the European Parliament, one of ten members representing the constituency of South East England since 1999.

[@Daves_Cave]

The BBC is often accused of being too pro-remain and anti-UKIP however this documentary paints Farage in a very postive light. And I say this as a UKIP member 2009-2016

[@purrbox7514]

The BBC is a strange machine, they have produced some absolutely shockingly biased political content and then other days you'll get the odd piece that's actually well balanced and informative. I can only guess that the good ones slip past the "team bias" editors in charge of ensuring everything they produce is pro labour. It's a shame what's happened to the BBC, they used to be respected throughout the world, in a way the BBC was something to be proud of.

[@identification133]

My first inside look - thank you and God bless this nation.

[@sovietunionjack1505]

David Cameron's resignation confirmed to 17.5 mil people what they had always suspected :- He does not care about the country or the people ... he was only in it for himself. The Captain does not leave the bridge when the ship needs him most.

[@Tankaroonies]

Nigel won it, and Boris was his bitch. And before anyone thinks I'm a troll, I say this, because Nigel BELIEVED in what he was doing, whilst Boris did not.

[@luccolpaert1815]

You are right. Farage believed in leaving and the others jumped on the populist train for personal gain.

[@sandralowe2354]

Thank god we have Nigel Farrage.I hope he stays around because with out him i do not know where the UK would be.A giant politition of our time.John.

[@boum62]

Whatever she said about Mr Farage - Mrs Stuart is great in my view - I don't vote Labour but would vote for her. A great loss to politics

[@BoJangles3105]

Get an Eyeful. The Vienna Convention on Treaties drafted in 1969, Categorically states. Fraudulent terms of entry are illegal. This means Britain can leave the EU without having to make any payments whatsoever. immediately. Sedition was committed by Heath

[@okfanriffic3632]

I'm not sure of their motives but I'm grateful for their efforts. If we can get a clean break from the EU we can restore our country to a true democracy.

[@heather725]

Nigel Farage is a great man! He, and not Theresa May, should be negotiating Brexit with the EU.

[@calniper]

Farage is a real inspirational leader! the world is lucky to still have visionaries like him.

[@cristerowarrior1450]

Watching this for the second time and it was the Remain boat that made them shut down the bridge

[@Tankaroonies]

And there we go, the arrogance of power, ENTER: Sir Nicholas Soames! Well done, and thank you for showing us exactly, who you are Sir Knob!

[@alanharvey9094]

Tankaroonies ... and Soames' grandfather was....... wait for it........... Sir Winston Churchill! What way would Winston have voted in this referendum I wonder? Pretty sure he'd not have wanted his country's government influenced by or interfered with by this EU mob!

[@Tankaroonies]

What? I want to get out of the EU; is every one forgetting what MAN got us here!

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

Mr. Ted Heath got us into the EU, after twice being rejected. Any other leader who have taken the hint. Shame that he is now dead and wasn't around to see his beloved project go up the swany!

[@anghinetti]

alphabetaxenonzzzcat: Ted Heath took us into the EC rather than the EU. If you want to blame anyone then blame John Major.

[@boum62]

I wish these politicians would be as sad when youngsters we send to colonial wars lose their lives as they are when one of their own dies.

[@catraoinekelly2879]

Farage would have been an excellent Prime Minister-- he bloody deserves a knighthood, without him we would never have got the chance for the referendum that gave us Brexit

[@robeltoburrows3768]

By all the comments I have red below, I think the leave votes would win by a much bigger margin, if there was second vote??

[@wilcoxwilcox3272]

I voted OUT of the EU. I would vote out AGAIN and AGAIN and again and again and again and again and again. No one ever asked me if I wanted to join the EU.

[@jerrygundecker743]

How many people who voted for Brexit still think it's a good idea?

[@adrianmartin6974]

Jerry Gundecker me and everyone I know , brexit means exit the corrupt Eu that now what’s it own army

[@brybish]

Cameron won the election only because of his promise of a referendum to win the support of the people from UKIP. we new because of the first past the post thing we voted tory for the referendum, blare promised one in the 90s but new people wouldn't vote his way so didn't. Now the people have spoken and we are out .

[@aaronwinstanley466]

The complete lack of policy for leave is glaring. Let's just leave without a plan.... trust me it will be great

[@unbelievablybelievable]

This man should be PM by now.......

[@anghinetti]

Neil Bryan: Would be nice but he would have to be the leader of a politcal party which gained a majority in any general election and that ain't going to happen - more's the pity.

[@hychap]

Nigel Farage is honest and intelligent. He thinks critically and would be PM if he had a spot on remain. Most people that do not like him hate this is true..

[@iane427]

[@MyScubasteve]

[@WelshmanSudios]

[@animesis]

Why do people call it Nationalism to want to have liberal free trade around the world and not just through Europe? Why does EU protectionism never get called out for what it is? They've created something new, special rights for the majority white continent and its business. I like to call it continentalism.

[@nosiphosobekwa9316]

Yes Nigel Farage is an international intellectual- capable of telling people what they don't want to hear.

[@t.stephen5086]

I like Farage, but I don't understand why he can't support Gerard Batten Leader of UKIP over policy regarding brexit. He obviously done a great deal of work implementing Brexit, but I bet he's doing just as much protecting his EU pension.

[@larnolarno6800]

Great memories

[@alanharvey9094]

Nicholas Soames, .... wrong again! This man thankfully is out of British politics! I think his grandfather, Winston Churchill, would have admired what Nigel Farage has succeeded in doing for this great country, forget political parties, think of the result of this so vital referendum. I really can't see Winston agreeing to his country being part of such an undemocratic European outfit which is mostly led by the Germans and French (in that order), I feel sure he would have voted OUT in our referendum because he would have wanted the UK to continue to fully govern itself without any interference by any outside body. Once a country has the situation where its government's decision making is interfered with by an outside body, in this case the EU mob, that country is no longer a sovereign nation. The full definition of sovereignty is given below. Many people don't seem to understand what it means. "Absolute, supreme and ultimate dominion and authority of a political state subject to no higher power, expressed within its territory in full self-government and in complete freedom from any outside influence." www.businessdictionary.com/definition/sovereignty.html

[@L56S]

100% Agree!

[@SAHBfan]

The great thing about the internet is that all of the stupid comments, false assumptions and other garbage spouted by politicians and others in the media is always just a few clips away. A good example here is Soames saying that Farage is 'all washed up'. If the country doesn't crash and burn then in a few years time we will be able to make some great video complications of politicians making stupid sound bites about what will happen and how bad it will be...

Jacob, You continue to talk about Italy. Let me illuminate you. More than 65 percent of italians own their home. 55 percent of us own a summer second home. Our health system is the best in the world. Made in italy is a certainty of high quality products from fashion to interior design. Yachts and helicopters and on and on Our art has no competition. Our climate is lovely. Get informed . Our government may be poor the citizen are not. Italy has problems but we're part of the EU and even this government want to change the EU from inside. Comparing Italy with greece it is an ignorant statement. By the way , when you speak you put me to sleep, you're a snob. We live longer than any other Europeans due to our Mediterranean diet. I'll have a glass of BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO tonight. You don't know what it is. Stop talking about a country you don't know. You're welcome to come to italy ..then you can talk about it. Be well Bruno Brizzi Maccaferri.

[@snowflake4984]

Leaving the EU was a terrible idea, but it was the vote of the people no matter how ill informed. The best that can be done now is for a realistic negotiation to mitigate the damage this policy change will actually cause.

[@Brusselsniels]

poor UK

[@michaelmcphillips4079]

The leave side claimed that it was costing Britain £50m a day to be in the EU. That was untrue and the real figure was about half that, say £25m since it didn't deduct what Britain gets back from the EU. If there are about 8m immigrants in the UK, say half of them have jobs, so there's 4m of them working and paying taxes. To pay £25m in taxes a day each of them would need to pay about £6 a day so if the jobs they have pay £30 a week in tax they'd pay the whole EU contribution.

Nigel Farage.That coward. Brexit started and then fled to Strasbourg, where he has a very profitable job. If he wanted Brexit why take so much European money as MEP? A coward, a liar and a thief. Are these the characteristics of the British? Hmm;-)

[@anghinetti]

robert kaczmarek: Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer: Nigel Farage couldn't fight the corrupt EU from outside the bear-garden and so that's why he got himself elected in 1999 as one of the MEPs representing the constituency of South East England. Ludicrous to suggest he's only in it for the money because now his dream of Brexit soon will be fact he'll be out of a job. You undoubtedly didn't think-through your comments before posting otherwise you may have realized that common sense (that trait peculiar to the British among Europeans, it would appear) hadn't figured in your logic.
