    Sorry, I thought you meant a lie regarding the nhs bus thing!

    He has explained today in his press conference about why he said previously that he didnt want the PM job and why he can no longer support Boris.

    Here you go... he explaines it well...

    What makes you think Theresa May is going to be like Margaret Thatcher, that comment is quite stupid, however I thought the rant from Nigel Farage in Brussels was hilarious personally

    He's mucked up the education system and the criminal system is a complete underfunded mess.

    The FTSE 100 has reached its highest level since 2015
    The FTSE 100 jumped again in Friday trading to sit at around 6,577 - its highest level since August 2015.

    The index has been climbing since Tuesday as confidence recovered from the initial shock over the outcome of the referendum.

    Bank of England Governor Mark Carney yesterday evening injected extra confidence into markets by promising Britain is tough enough to deal with the transition period of leaving the bloc.

    The chief also heavily hinted interest rates are set to be cut in the next couple of months to provide extra stimulus to the economy.

    The FTSE has more than recovered from its Brexit shock

    The FTSE 100 is sitting at the highest level this year
    The comments helped continue the rally that has taken hold since Tuesday and pushed the market far above its pre-referendum high of around 6,300.

    It is now expected the Bank's base rate will be cut from 0.5 per cent to 0.25 per cent in August.

    The prospect of a rate fall, however, has weakened the pound, which is now at 1.19 against the euro and 1.32 against the dollar.

    Like you, I didn't read into this as the whole 350 million was going to the NHS. I thought only stupid people would believe it actually was.

    MTG has a beef with Rupert Murdoch so that's why he ranted about Fox. I bet he made that decision watching SKY at home mind <whistle>

    RR, please, for the love of god mate, stop posting entire articles as if they are fact and as if you know what it means. This proves that you literally have no clue. The FTSE 100 is made up primarily of multinational organisations. The FTSE 250 is a much more accurate representation, and that still lingers behind (though I have no doubt that it will recover).

    Hollie was unfailingly polite.

    Nice girl.

    An insight into concerns and a perspective on the impact leaving the EU will have, on today's youth, in years to come.

    Spreading racial hatred is against the law. If Mr Farage has been up to that for seventeen years he would be in prison not an mep. You are showing your very young age and still trying to link voting leave with racism.

    Probably as many Hollies in the leave vote .. Everytime a leave voter is parodied as gullible, thick, racist etc there is a balance.

    Holly was at least able to articulate her opinion, albeit a little "sketchily"...

    Meanwhile, I see Farage (who's EU rants I liked) has now totally distanced himself from what will be the fall out of disaster day - can't say I blame him one little bit because the true impact has yet to be fully realised by the Brexit camp (although Farage knows exactly what it will be)...

    I watched an hour long programme on European TV over the weekend (apologies for being able to speak another language) where the participants where positively salivating about the medium and major corporates that they would be able to persuade to leave the UK once the realisation sinks in that we will not be able to access the free market.

    Osborne obviously watched/considered the same, resulting in the planned cut in corporation tax however if the gross take does not hold up WE, INDIVIDUALLY will end up paying for the shortfall...

    Way to go Brexit...

    Edit: FTSE 250 has resumed downward trend, down round 2% as I type (so 8% down since Disaster Day) and as the strap line on Are you being served said, "going down"...

    She was polite, but hardly clear and concise. The irony of holding a SWP placard. and her view that when asked who she would like to see as PM, she says she thinks Cameron has done a good job was not lost.

    I meet these types in BS8 frequently. Brought up in a bubble and has no sense of real life.

    As for Mr Farage I find myself in a odd position thinking here is a right wing politician who has done what he said he would. I admire his zeal in following a path that values democracy and the right to self determination .. Well done Big Nige from this Labour voter.

    "I watched an hour long programme on European TV over the weekend (apologies for being able to speak another language) ..." It is unclear what you are apologising for.

    Apparently, I come across as superior to some so this clearly just adds to the image...

    Yes you do.

    Your posts imply that others do not grasp what you're saying on this forum, and that the majority in a referendum did not suitably understand the socioeconomic complexities at play in the referendum to a level where their decision and subsequent vote was an informed one.
