Nigel Farage sees Brexit as 'Independence Day' for Britain
London, Jun 24 (IBNS): Moments after Britons voted for Brexit, marking a historic divorce from the European Union, United Kingdom Independent Party leader Nigel Farage celebrated the separation by terming it as the Independence Day for Britain, reports said.
The UKIP leader said "June 23rd will go down in our history as our independence day."
Following the Brexit, he told his party supporters,"Dare to dream that the dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom."

"We need a Brexit government. It is a victory for ordinary people, it is against big businesses and merchant banks," he said, calling it an Independence Day.
Brexit held a slender edge over remain votes. While the English shires and Wales voted for Brexit, London, Scotland and Northern Ireland wanted Britain to remain in the EU.
"We have fought against the multinationals, we have fought against the big merchant banks, we have fought against big politics, we have fought against lies, corruption and deceit," Farage said at a Brexit party.
"And today honesty, decency and belief in nation, I think now is going to win. And we will have done it without having to fight, without a single bullet being fired, we'd have done it by damned hard work on the ground," the UKIP leader added.

"I am thrilled we have done this," he said.
"The first thing we have to do is have a government that is committed to Brexit. That is absolutely key. I think it is very difficult for [Cameron] to stay on as prime minister given that he involved himself so heavily in the campaign, told us that dreadful things would happen to us if we were to leave, recession, threats of war and all the rest of it," he said.
"I find it difficult to believe that he could become a Brexit prime minister. I might be wrong, but I doubt it," he said.
