This is what you get when you have badly informed interviewers who don't know what they're talking about asking questions, which are picked up by equally unprofessional commentators who also don't know what they're talking about. It gets like Chinese Whispers.
Farage had nothing to do with what was organised to put on the Leave Campaign bus.
He even said that he was ostracised from the official Leave Campaign. But some people will run with a story which isn't even based on reality.”
Whether ir not Farage was officially sidelined, he was still a figurehead for Leave, such is the height of his profile.
He is now calling the £350m lie "a mistake".
I don't recall him doing so during the campaign.
That would have been some honesty to admire.
Of course he could have said it and I missed it, but I'm sure such truth from anyone supporting Leave would have made the news.
