Farage billboards start to pop up across the UK

Nigel Farage-inspired billboards have been spotted across the UK following a Led By Donkeys campaign rolled out on the back of his recent comments.

The campaign to make Farage’s new Brexit slogan famous went viral earlier this month and was quick to surpass its original target – by a whopping £70,000!

The former UKIPer joined a chorus of Brexiteers who have been forced to admit that the UK’s split with the EU is not all it’s cracked up to be in an interview with Victoria Derbyshire on Newsnight.

He said: “We haven’t actually benefitted from Brexit when we could have done.

“What Brexit has proved is that our politicians are about as useless as the commissioners in Brussels were.”

Farage then went on to concede that “Brexit has failed” in an extraordinary climbdown.

Led By Donkeys since launched a campaign to get the three-word slogan on giant billboards up and down the country.

The original target of £10,000 (20 billboards) has been easily surpassed, with £81,824 raised among 3823 supporters in 14 days.

Photos of the billboards springing up across the UK have since been sent in.

Here’s just a pick of them!
