HE has been shunned from the official Leave campaign but Nigel Farage may well have given Brexit a boost last night ahead of the EU referendum.

Prime Minister David Cameron and Nigel Farage each gave impassioned pleas to the nation during the ITV debate as the clock counted down towards the deadline for voter registration.

And according to one poll, the Ukip leader was a clear winner.

The Times Red Box reactions registered hundreds the reactions of 2,500 people as Cameron and Farage were each given 30 minutes to talk and answer audience questions.

An automatically selected sample of 2,500 people showed 80 per cent were in favour of a Brexit ahead of the debate - and Cameron was largely unable to sway them.

But Farage was able to pull some voters off the fence with weeks to go until the vote on June 23.

Net approval for the Eurosceptic MEP rose as he spoke and took questions from the audience, and despite dipping to 30 per cent at one point, ended in the 70s.

What would make the British want to give up their country anyway?

I watched the forum at work today and even if you did not like him, he held his own without name calling.

Internationalist brainwashing?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

You would not believe the ignorance over there. It’s as bad as here with the ‘pop culture’ dimrods. I’m generalizing.....but as long as Top Shop sells the ‘clubbin’ clothes’, the ‘party pubs’ are rockin’’, gals can ‘pull blokes’ for for one-nighters, Coronation Street and East Enders soaps are on as well as soccer.....all is well. Otherwise, the working class didn’t give a toss.

Crappy pictures of Nigel though - he usually has 32 mugs of beer in his hands, sometimes both hands.

[Sam Gamgee]

He did great. Didn’t fall for the race baiting, and hardly blinked at the insults. That was no studio audience. Those were plants from the anti_Brexxit crowd. You could hardly have drummed up a more hostile audience.

Basically he said “I don’t are what “experts” say because they are wrong”.
