In the case of Brexit and Farage a pack of lies. Or perhaps he had too much faith in others. Mr. Farage stood up for what he believed in regardless of the criticism. Like him or not you have to respect him for devoting a large part of his life for what he believed would benefit his country. 15 minutes ago, m williamson said: Which is almost as good as the trade deal we already had with Japan when we were EU members. https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/japan-trade-deal/94178/ As for the £18 billion investment ask yourself what the Japanese get in return. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/5/18/britains-sunak-announces-22bn-japanese-investment-in-uk-economy So things are moving forward.

Sadly, what he believed bore no relation to economic reality, or common sense. The price of which we're now starting to see. 8 minutes ago, harvey19 said: Like him or not you have to respect him for devoting a large part of his life for what he believed would benefit his country.
