Nigel Farage warns Remainers face major ’embarrassment’ when ‘penny drops’ over EU

Nigel Farage gloats at Rejoiners over Brexit boost Nigel Farage warned Remainers are in for a rude awakening over their views on the European Union. The former Ukip leader said Europhiles face major “embarrassment” over the “shattering of the perception that the EU is a wonderful liberal democracy”. He urged Remainers to “have a closer look” at the “troubled” bloc as he highlighted how “the right is on the march”. Mr Farage pointed to the anti-immigration Swedish Democrats who have been part of Sweden’s coalition government since last October, while the hard-right AfD party in Germany is polling at around 20 percent. The ex-MEP said he was “also fascinated to know what idiot Remainers make of the hardened attitudes towards Islam and homosexuality” in Poland and Hungary, as well as the revolt against net zero in the Netherlands. Nigel Farage warned Remainers are in for a rude awakening over their views on the EU Trending Writing in The Telegraph, Mr Farage said: “Bluntly, the idea that EU countries would have a civilising influence on the post-colonial Britain is in tatters.” He added that he believes the “penny will finally drop” when far-right Marine Le Pen wins the next French presidential election. Mr Farage concluded: “The fact of the matter is that Brexit Britain is more open-minded, global-thinking, liberal and tolerant than any of our EU neighbours.” The Brexit architect’s comments come as Rejoiners are set to march in London next weekend. It also comes after Mr Farage celebrated huge economic boosts for Brexit Britain during his GB News show yesterday. Mr Farage highlighted revised figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) which showed the UK’s economy had done better than previously thought. Speaking on his GB News show, the leading Brexiteer said: “Now I’ve got some really bad news now for the Rejoiners. “Those who have given us a diet of endless negativity about Brexit economically ever since the morning after that referendum result in 2016. “You see the ONS revised the figures last week which shows far from us being the sick man of Europe since Brexit, actually, we’ve outperformed in GDP terms once mighty countries like Germany. “And astonishingly UK manufacturing is now at the highest level it has ever been in the history of our country. “And yes, I know there’s so much the Government could have done in terms of deregulation, in terms of encouraging business, things that Brexit freedoms gave us they haven’t used. “Yet despite all of that we are doing okay and Brexit has had no perceivable difference on the UK’s growth.”
