lol, just saw this.

So, what does this mean Britbongs? To me it looks a little fishy, but I am not as up to speed on Brexit as you all are.

Looks like it's a case of leaving politics in glory and no need to worry about answering questions should the shit hit the fan with our economy.
His whole career has generally been for us to leave the EU.
Instead of wanting to prove how better off we are alone, he's instead trying to leave in a blaze of glory.
Interesting really because IF we do indeed go down the shitter, it would probably only benefit UKIP even more in the next general election lapping up all the labour votes in the north and midlands.

How is backing the fuck off like a coward leaving in a blaze of glory? To opponent's it's just proof that Brexit is full of shit and even the biggest advocate knows the poor soul who has to pull it through will forever be remembered as the guy who singlehandedly killed Britain.
And for supporters they lost their biggest head figure and are now left realizing that maybe listening to that guy was not so smart.
Who will take the steer to make Brexit happens if all it's advocates are pussies who all pull out?
Reminder that Britain actually still is in the EU and the ones trying to push them out now are the EU countries who want it to be over with as quick as possible, while UK is backpedalling as fuck.

Farage has basically already been told, before resigning, that he wuoldn't form a part of the Brexit negotiations.

If he'd have been handed full control, don't you think he'd have taken it? If any of the potential leaders of the Brexit programme offered him a chair at the table, don't you think he'd take it?

And: He has said he will return if he thinks the politicians are backing out of Brexit.

This is all hysteria, like the Boris thing. First we were told that Boris was only doing it to become PM, then when that didn't happen, the pro-EU lot changed their mind and said he was scared.

The pro-EU hysteria in the media since the vote has been hilarious. It feels good, actually, as a Leaver, that the opposite side are making such bad arguments.

I still haven't seen WWIII anywhere, either. The Remain side appear to have lied about that, saying we'd plunge into WWIII and all that. Shame that they had to resort to lying, and they still lost.

I doubt he is a competent negotiator, and definitely a person non grata in the eyes of the EU. His role as a popularist has met its end, and thus he is useless to his own cause.

That's too fucking easy. Actions have consequences and you just can't go "lel my work is done I want my lyf back xD".

I somewhat agree. His usefulness during the campaign is debatable too, though the Labour heartlands that UKIP targeted and which voted heavily Out may suggest that he did have an effect, assuming those voters listened more to UKIP than to the Brexit Tories.

Your economy hasn't even taken the biggest predicted hit yet, you fucking buffoon. You've just barely recovered from the shock that you're actually going to do it. Wait until your government actually triggers article 50.

And then nothing happens and the Remain side looks like a mug again

It entirely depends on what the negotiations achieve.
If the negotiators bend over and take corporate dick, the UK economy will do "well" (meaning the rich will get richer as GDP gains go to the 1%) as it'll just fully adopt the Norway option.
If the negotiators go WTO, then I am told that that'd hurt the UK rather a lot.

The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle.
