"Why don’t you refer to the Chequer's Plan as The FAKEXIT Plan because its certainly no BREXIT plan and you are right they are defrauding the British electorate of their democratic BREXIT wish and attempting to condemn the UK to remain subject to EU rules. How on earth can one not be part or member of an organisation yet still subject to its rules! Ludicrous!"
Nigel Farage vows return to front line politics to attack Theresa May's 'fraudulent' Chequers plan
In an article for the Daily Telegraph he argues that MPs and Remain-supporting sections of the media are creating the impression that ‘Leave voters did not know what they were voting for’.
Their implication, he argues, is that ‘Brexiteers are stupid’.
S for Stupid or S for Smart. Like I have said already it can only be the stupidest people who think one can be on the outside of an organisation or EU club yet still be subject to its rules. Its is like saying a child who attends one school can be subject to the rules of another. Pathetic!

Beware of underestimating the intelligence of Brexiteers those that betray them
will find out their resolve at the next ballot box!
No respect for the British people and the electorate that voted LEAVE not FAKEXIT!!! Shoot the B.stard!
That is correct yet the picture being painted is no Van Gogh and certainly a fake!

We don't shoot people for wasting their own money in this country , Brexit is a thing , the decision was made and Brexit won't be reversed.
7 months to go.

Just don't get Brexiteer Peter Hargreaves started on useless civil servants, 'buffoon' Boris, or tax-avoiding tycoons.
Hargreaves, 71, is the baker’s son from Clitheroe in Lancashire who went on to amass a personal fortune of £3.2 billion from his financial services company, Hargreaves Lansdown. He is one of the richest men in the UK.
A shareholder but no longer a director or employee of Hargreaves Lansdown, he has just been given a dividend of £60 million from the company he founded in his spare room with partner Stephen Lansdown 37 years ago.
He is furious.‘What are the Government doing?’ he cries.
In recent years he has become the Leave campaign’s biggest individual donor, having given £3.2 million to the Brexit cause.
This month he hit the headlines for stating that if a successful businessman such as him were in charge of Brexit negotiations, things would be very different.
‘I guarantee my entire wealth that we would get free trade,’ he said, exasperated by the lack of progress and the fact that talks have been left in the hands of civil servants who ‘don’t have a clue’ and ‘haven’t made a deal in their lives’.
These people have gone from academia into politics and done nothing of value. How can they have any comprehension of how to run anything?’ he says.
‘But the best option is no deal. That would give us free trade with Europe because the three biggest economies in Europe, outside Britain, are huge exporters to the UK.
‘That’s Germany, France and Italy. And those three economies would absolutely demand free trade from the EU. We just should have said to the EU, we’re gone, goodbye.’Like many Brexiteers, he loathes the Remainer arrogance prevalent in the Westminster bubble.
‘They think Brexit is a bad idea and that they know better than the populace. But the average person who works in the Nissan car factory in Sunderland is smarter than any MP in the House of Commons.
‘He or she knows how many beans make five. They are smart people, even if they didn’t go to Oxford and Cambridge, Eton and Harrow and all these places. They manage their affairs well and have more understanding of what’s going on in this country than any MP. With one exception........My local MP, Jacob Rees-Mogg. At least he ran a successful business.’ The two men occasionally have a steak-pie lunch together in a nearby pub — Hargreaves in his country casuals, the member for North East Somerset in his three-piece suit. Always. ‘Even if it’s the weekend,’ says Hargreaves, admiringly.
Very few people have created a FTSE 100 company from scratch, without borrowing or acquisition.
Hargreaves Lansdown is the 46th most valuable quoted company in the UK, capitalised at more than Marks & Spencer, Centrica, easyJet, ITV, Sainsbury’s and many other household names. The Bristol-based company is worth billions of pounds and has an enviable reputation in the financial world, where it has achieved the unimaginable — success without scandal. Indeed, Hargreaves pays more tax than almost anyone else in the country. ‘I pay all my UK taxes and there aren’t very many very rich people who do that.’
Why?
‘Because it is an enormous amount of money! But I think if a country has given you the opportunity to be successful and if the tax rates are fair and reasonable, then you should pay the taxes.’
