watch the video at the link...unbelievable....this is what happens when lies go unchallenged.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said the Leave campaigns claim there would be an extra £350 million a week to spend on the NHS (National
Health Service) if Britain voted to leave the EU was a mistake.
The claim was one of the key statements made by the official Vote Leave campaign, and it was used in adverts and emblazoned on the side of the campaign bus.
During an interview on ITVs Good Morning Britain on Friday morning, after Britain voted to leave the EU, Farage was asked whether he could guarantee that the £350 million sent to the EU would now go the NHS.
Farage answered: No I cant. I would never have made that claim. That was one of the mistakes made by the Leave campaign.

That's an interesting way of putting it.
We didn't mean to mislead. Mistakes were made.
A full Trumpian response would be, "Our people will look into it."
I suspect that's coming next.

Oh, right, before Trump head several bad weeks in a row I had to repeatedly tell everyone how terrible he was as a candidate.

When listening to his zenophobic rants, I feel the same repulsion as when listening to Trump.
