(You can watch or read the full statement here.)
Farage's statement has been met by critics with disgust, specifically in reaction to his suggestion that independence had come "without having to fight, without a single bullet being fired." Many believe this choice of words to be in poor taste and spoken in flagrant disregard for the recent murder of Labour MP Jo Cox.
