Nigel Farage takes ‘hope and optimism’ of Brexit victory to Donald Trump rally as he gives Republicans plan to beat Hillary
Former Ukip leader told crowd they could have their very own Brexit if The Donald was elected
NIGEL Farage has taken his Brexit message to America with a rousing speech to Donald Trump supporters and telling them to "get their walking boots on" to drum up votes.
And much to the delight of the audience at a Missisippi rally, he didn't waste time in giving Hillary Clinton a good shoeing, saying he wouldn't vote for her "even if she paid" him.

The crowd in Jackson whooped, cheered and clapped as he took to the stage at the event on Wednesday night, after he was given a glowing introduction by the controversial billionaire.
The former Ukip leader who has been enjoying something of a bromance with the Republican Presidential candidate, said he came from the UK with a message of "hope and optimism."
He whipped up the audience telling them: "It's the little people it's the real people, it's the ordinary decent people, if they are prepared to stand up and fight for what they believe in, then we can over come the big banks, we can overcome the multi nationals."

Farage told the rally the UK made June 23rd their "Independence Day" adding the nation "smashed the establishment: "We did it, and everybody said we'd lose."
He then ran through a list of all of those who had said Brexit would kill off the UK economy, including global leaders and experts, saying they gave the British public "project fear" if the country wasn't run by a "bunch of unelected old men in Brussels."
He said that the mass unemployment, and down spiral in the economy that was predicted had not come to pass.

As the crowd cheered he told them: "We reached those people who had been let down by modern global corporatism, we reached those people who had never voted in their lives, but believed by going out voting for Brexit they could take back control of their country, take back control of their borders and get back their pride, and self respect."

Farage then went on to slam Barack Obama, saying he was "the big card" former Prime Minister David Cameron had decided to play to try and get people to remain.
As the audience booed he said the president "talked down" to the British people and treated them as if "they were nothing".

He went on to say while having criticised and condemned Obama's support of Clinton, he couldn't tell them how to vote, but added: "If I was an American citizen, I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton, if you paid me. In fact I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if she paid me."
Drawing parallels between the two countries Farage said: 'There are millions of ordinary Americans who have been let down, who have had a bad a bad time, who felt the political class in Washington are detached from them.
"They feel people aren't standing up for them."
He concluded his speech with a rousing call to action telling the Trump supporters they had a fantastic opportunity to make a difference.
"If you want change in this country, you'd better get your walking boots on," he said.
"You'd better get out there campaigning. And remember anything is possible if enough decent people are prepared to stand up against the establishment."

Earlier in the day the politician spoke on the radio station Super Talk Mississippi and said he admired several aspects of Trump’s politics.
I don’t think its exactly clear where Donald Trump stands on all economic issues, but when I've heard him talk about small businesses and the little entrepreneurs….and the levels of bureaucracy, I feel optimistic," said Mr Farage.
