Nigel Farage says Theresa May's version of Brexit will be worse than staying in the EU
itv.com ^ | June 15, 2018 | ITV

Nigel Farage has called for Theresa May to be sacked as Prime Minister and claimed plans for Brexit have become so "ludicrous" that Britain is going to be worse off than before the referendum.

The former Ukip leader and key member of the Leave campaign also said that if Brexit wasn't sorted out he'd consider a return to politics.

Mr Farage was speaking to ITV News Political Editor Robert Peston for his new online series, Now What?

On whether the Conservative Party should get rid of May, Mr Farage said: "Absolutely, of course, she's a disaster. She's boxed herself into a position now where we will be, for the foreseeable future after March [29th 2019, Brexit day], actually in a worse position than we were before we voted to leave. It’s ludicrous.”

Asked by Peston to clarify whether he thought this "half in, half out" position "is worse than being in the EU", Farage replied "of course".

THERESA May has only one hope of saving Brexit and her job. She must win the ­crucial Commons votes on Wednesday.

If not — and Tory Remainers successfully rule out us ever leaving with no deal — our negotiating position is toast.

Or how about after Brexit Trump hits U.K. with tariffs?
Not exactly the rosey senario envisioned on trade with the US after Brexit.

For the benefit of those of us who have no clue what all the antecedents mean that are being referred to -— what does that mean? Who is “our”?

Saw that earlier. One of the sickest burns I have ever seen. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.

That's the idea.

“Our” is the country of U.K. and the problem is parliament members who were never happy about leaving the EU (Remainers) want the power to vote against UK leaving the EU in total. Which is what the people voted for with Brexit.

If the Remainers get their way then the U.K. can only at most be half in and half out. Which is worse than they were as being in the EU because they will be agreed and conformed to EU laws and regulations, except now without shaping those laws an regulations as a full member.

“Britain is going to be worse off than before the referendum”

not a great statement because :

EXCEPT Britain would be EVEN WORSE if they had voted to stay *IN* the EU during the referendum.
