Farage Trolled by Anti-Brexit Campaigners as 'March to Leave' Gets Underway

As Nigel Farage joined the opening leg of the pro-Brexit March to Leave in Sunderland on March 16, he and his supporters passed billboards erected by opponents that showed some of his less flattering quotes.

“If Brexit is a disaster, I will go and live abroad, I’ll go and live somewhere else,” one March 2017 quote reads. “I never promised it would be a huge success,” another, from May 2018, reads.

The billboards were the work of Led By Donkeys, a crowdfunded campaign to put politician’s Brexit quotes on billboards around the UK.

The March to Leave was expected to see campaigners walk from Sunderland to London over a two-week period, congregating on Parliament Square on March 29. However, Farage told Sky News that he would not be completing the route due to other commitments. Credit: Led By Donkeys via Storyful
