(UKIP Leader) Nigel Farage admits £350 million a week for the NHS was a 'mistake'

[Night Watchman]

In fairness to Farage, if the ad was made by the "Leave" campaign itself, and he wasn't involved in it, how is that different from one of our SuperPacs making a dubious commercial for a candidate they support?

1. was this before or after

he said "no shots were fired" in the revolution... except, of course, the white supremacist killing the MP just a few days ago.

6. Not sure...

But this guy is the UK's version of Donald TRUMP in so many ways it is crazy! Of course, TRUMP is far more dangerous should he get elected considering what he will have available to him & TRUMP would NEVER admit something he was involved with was a "mistake" but still these two are very much alike!

...I could not believe this PIG said that! "We won without firing a single shot!"...TRUMP would've done the same exact thing!

2. Exactly. Also..

While DU erupts in anger at political lies by British politicians, virtually silent on daily lies from entire US party systems. Yay.

4. "We have a featherbed... free money that we can spend on the NHS, on schools, or whatever."

Slogans such as "We send the EU £350 million a week, let's fund our NHS instead" and "Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week" were emblazoned on Vote Leave campaign material.

And it raised eyebrows when it was plastered across the red Vote Leave bus as it had already been branded misleading.

The figure has twice been described as misleading by the UK Statistics Authority watchdog because it referred only to the UK's £19 billion gross annual contribution and did not take into account Britain's rebate or money that comes back from the EU.

When these factors are included, the (EU) net cost was around £7.1 billion a year - or £137 million a week.

7. So...

When is a "mistake" really a "lie"? When a Nazi scumbag makes it.
