Farage on Brexit: 'I was never dishonest'

Nigel Farage has told Sky's Beth Rigby that he'd be prepared to tighten border controls further - even if it meant labour shortages went up.

Why is he still getting air time? He promised to leave the country ages ago.

"Put me in charge of it"
.... He ran away at the first chance claiming his lifes work was done...

[Todischo]

Wouldn't the world be a nicer place if politicians were held accountable or at least punished when found to be lying.

[JackhammerJesus]

If they put him in charge he would resign. Like he usually does.

[smalrast]

What utter bollox, always someone else's fault.

[russellwillmoth]

Many other countries have secure borders and a functioning immigration system so we know it’s possible. It’s a political decision in the UK not to do it.

[lostintranslation]

Are these people thick? He wasn't in office.

[shahdrah]

He was the FACE of Brexit!!! And people voted for him and his narrative. Voters got to take some blame!!!

[vernonrabbetts]

"I would like to think..."

Nigel Farage admitting he never does or did.

[fiacmar]

As an enemy of the UK, I love this guy.

[MartyJackson]

Yet they still give him airtime - let’s continue to make him relevant

[baldeepbirak]

Care workers, nurses, doctors, many are from other countries. Who would replace them all?

If we let him be in charge :

No NHS
No economy
No workers
No food
No teachers
No money

Farage would quicker watch us starve than bring in a single immigrant. This is what he strived to "achieve" and we are paying the price.

[nathanprice]

Another politician who lies through his teeth and yet still gets a platform to lie some more!

[temporalcomet]

Haha he'd "like to think" he was never dishonest (but he can't, cos he was). Great political answer

[bmclaughlin]

It’s always someone else’s fault, he’s a disgrace, the damage he has caused this country. People get locked up for less.

[damienhine]

"I might have got things right, I might have got things wrong" is gentle way of saying "I got things wrong."

[danmorley]

This country has produced some pricks over the years, but farage has to be in the top one.

[kbob]

They should call his bluff and put him in charge of it.

[michaelgoode]

Farage continues to make his dishonest and frankly divisive claims.

Hatred and bigotry is not the solution.
