Brits angry over politician Nigel Farage’s big Brexit backtrack

It comes as one of the chief faces of the #Leave movement, politician and head of the UK Independence Party Nigel Farage, admitted on ITV’s Good Morning Britain that the Leave campaign made a “mistake” in claiming that the 350 million ($AU640.44 million) a week reportedly given to the EU would go to the NHS.

The National Health Service (NHS) is Britain’s public healthcare system, and the money that was once sent to Europe was promised to go straight into NHS’ pockets, but it seems Farage has backtracked on his promise.

Nigel Farage Admits NHS Claims Were A Mistake

“The 350 million pounds a week we send to the EU, which we will no longer send to the EU, can you guarantee that’s going to go to the NHS?” pressed ITV’s Susanna Reid.

“No I can’t, and I never would have made that claim,” he responded.

“One of the mistakes that the Leave campaign made…”

“That was one of the Leave campaign adverts,” Reid responded.

“That that money was going to go to NHS That’s why people — many people — voted.” she said incredulously.

“They made a mistake in doing that,” Farage admitted, which has provoked anger across the country.

After the vote, Farage said defiantly, “Dare to dream that the dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom.”

A voter, who gave his name as Adam, spoke to the BBC about his decision to tick the Leave box and said he had not anticipated the period of uncertainty following the referendum.

He said: “I’m shocked that we voted for Leave, I didn’t think that was going to happen. I didn’t think my vote was going to matter too much because I thought we were just going to remain.”
