And now Farage has resigned as UKIP leader....

Funny enough, now millions of British people are applying for an Irish passport as a supplement to their British one. Then the option of free movement within EU is still available.
God knows, if Farage will request a French passport

Many are, yes. However, only those with a legitimate claim will be eligible: Parent(s) who hold Irish Citizenship, or those British Passport-holders who were actually born in the Irish Republic. It isn't as simple as banging your first, demanding one. The majority of British citizens are not entitled to one.

I wouldn't be unduly concerned. With Farage out of the way, it'll be easier for the Brexit camp to back out on the promise of stopping free movement, so as to enable unrestricted access to the EEA.

I really can't see that happening. If there is no curb on free movement the Tories will pay a very high price at the next election and it won't be Labour that benefits but UKIP.

Theresa May should have enough backers to become the next Leader and PM.
Her long tenure at the Home Office will be to her advantage, knowing how twitchy people are over security issues.
She could give Michael Gove the job of negotiating us out of the UK. A thankless job, but then he asked for it.
If things don't go well, May being a Remainer can hide behind that. She will mix her Cabinet with both 'sides', pragmatism rules. Might even offer a post to Boris but he will turn it down for more money and less aggro in the world of media. I wouldn't write him off yet.though.
Osborne might continue as Chancellor. He never wanted the Referendum in the first place. Debt will take longer to pull down as Government revenues will reduce in the short term. That means less dosh for the Health Services, something the Leavers seem to have overlooked.
Like much else.

Leaving the EU is not running away from the problem! Until very recently you dare not mention immigration for fear of being called a racist and bigot. People have been ignored for far too long and were constantly told mass immigration was great for these islands. People particularly outside London and living in the poorer parts of the country saw their living standards drop or stagnate. There was only one option in the end EXIT!! The politicians only have themselves to blame. THEY JUST DIDN'T LISTEN.

I'm not a fan of Farage at all, but..........
There is a saying that 'all Politicians' careers end in failure'.
Well, dependent on how things turn out (and an objective analysis is probably 10 years into the future), then he may prove to be the exception to that rule.

You quotation is from Enoch Powell. From internet: Enoch Powell's maxim that "all political careers end in failure."

so he was confused and couldn't vote because he was out of the country, but if pressed, he would have voted to stay because of the (canadian) Governor of the BOE.

Indeed it has. England pointing fingers at EU complaining about immigration.
England's answer is to close their own borders and leave border countries deal with the immensely increasing problems.
The question is then - should the rest of EU do the same and let people die in the ocean!!
