People are crediting Farage for getting one big Brexit prediction right

Looks like the former UKIPer was right about one thing!

Nigel Farage is being credited for getting a big Brexit prediction right – albeit not in the way he thought.

On the day the referendum results were revealed in 2016 the former UKIPer told supporters that “dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom”.

He said the Leave campaign had won a victory for “real people”, and said 23rd June should go down as “independence day”.

But following a historic win in Northern Ireland for Sinn Fein, the UK could be in line for plenty of independence, just not in the way Farage initially thought.

Nigel Farage was right, the Brexit referendum should be remembered as our ‘Independence Day’.

An Independence Day for Scotland and an united Ireland. Slow hand clap to the little Englanders.

Nicola Sturgeon said victory for a nationalist party in Stormont raises “big questions” around the future of the UK “as a political entity”, pointing to strong nationalist performances in her own country and in Wales, too, where the Tories had their worst fears confirmed.

“If (Sinn Fein) emerge as the largest party today in Northern Ireland which looks very likely, that will be an extraordinary result and something that seemed impossible not that long ago,” she said.

“There’s no doubt there are big fundamental questions being asked of the UK as a political entity right now.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
