this persistent ageism is quite ridiculous. How many times now have you said derogatory things specifically about older people?

It's a very sad day to see such a great man have to make this decision and I am sure he doesn't make this decision lightly. Without doubt he would have received threats coming his way from a minority of pro-remain campaigners and possibly against his family to, so best to leave now, just to be on the safe side.

I agree with what he said in his speech that there isn't a lot more he can do after Brexit, especially with the odds on Theresa May become the next Conservative leader and her pro-remain views and she is just a carbon copy of David Cameron really and her heart lies with the money-people of the UK and making sure we remain in the single market - no matter what those little Hitlers in Brussels demand of us, such as free movement of people without limitations.

The future is not rosy at all with her at the helm and if Nigel stayed as leader of UKIP, the battle would just continue.

Best political news in a long while. Hopefully he'll now disappear off the face of the earth.

Although it's pretty telling that all the politicians who campaigned for leave are now leaving themselves.

Haven't we heard that before how long before he returns to save a sinking ship?

I have to laugh at his claim that he's never been a careerist, meanwhile he's resigning as his party's leader but keeping his seat in an institution that he's apparently so despised for seventeen years which'll earn him Ł70k a year, despite the fact his job is now done

Refugees are people that are from another country or countries that are not UK citizens and are classed the same as any other immigrant on the planet. Whether the poster Nigel was standing next to contained refugees or other immigrants is neither here nor there.

The bottom line is that we want to be able to choose who we want in the UK and how many come.

Nigel Farage and the rest of UKIP and I am sure that a majority of the leave campaigners out there in the UK will feel the same way.

Yeah - Nigel proudly wears the United Kingdom flag on his 'uppers' - whereas SADLY, a hell of a lot of BRITISH people in this country like it UNDER their SOLES, whilst wiping their feet ON IT along with EVERYTHING it stands for Cherie.

It's not ageism to point out that nearly every out voter that I've heard or seen speak has been older.

And people seriously think that the Remain voters twist things to sound more prejudiced.

As far taking responsibility.. yes.. Contrary to the way he behaves, hes a grown up and was a party leader
until he pussy footed his way out of it (still would be the leader if OUT lost the campaign). He should not be applauded for quitting. Obviously. He's let a lot of people down.
I respect your honesty Withano - thank you for that - and even though I CANNOT agree with your view on Farage 'quitting', I also respect your passion.

I think this really. They did their job and it's time to move on.

Being friendly with Darth Murdoch is just another reason to find him deplorable.

We all want controlled Immigration.

But it's not gonna change as all of our Parties (including UKIP) love Immigration as it's cheap labour to them as third worlders in particular won't know their rights as much.

If Theresa May get's in then we will continue in the single market and those little Hitler's in Brussels run things remember, and if they demand free movement of people (which they do), then immigrants will continue to come in thick and fast and we can't do anything about it, so just on that observation alone, not everybody wants to control immigration or they wouldn't place this country in that situation.

UKIP has always welcomed a reasonable amount of immigrants coming to live/work in the UK, but only a limited number and skilled workers rather than a load of people ending up claiming benefits and putting a huge strain on our economy, among other things.

Where did you get this idea that UKIP wants to bring in a load of immigrants to work for less than minimum wage? which I think you are implying.

Cameron has to stand down after failing. Farage steps aside gracefully after winning
