nigel farage fears brexit <u+2018>betrayal<u+2019> and warns of <u+2018>public anger<u+2019> following historic article 50 ruling chris kitching, mirror, november 3, 2016 




nigel farage has warned fellow politicians that any attempt to block or delay britain<u+2019>s exit from the european union will be met with untold anger from the public. 




in a statement released after the historic high court ruling on article 50 the interim ukip leader said he fears a brexit <u+201c>betrayal<u+201d> is on the horizon. 




the judges ruled that the government doesn<u+2019>t have the power to trigger two-year exit process article 50 without a vote by mps. 




farage campaigned vigorously for brexit and declared the june 23 referendum britain<u+2019>s <u+201c>independence day<u+201d> after the shock result was confirmed. 




after the high court ruling was announced on thursday morning farage said: <u+201c>i worry that a betrayal may be near at hand. 




<u+201c>last night at the spectator parliamentary awards i had a distinct feeling that our political class, who were out in force, do not accept the 23rd of june referendum result. 




<u+201c>i now fear that every attempt will be made to block or delay the triggering of article 50 . 




<u+201c>if this is so, they have no idea of the level of public anger they will provoke.<u+201d> 




three of england<u+2019>s top judges gave the ruling after a costly three-day hearing. 




the government immediately announced it would appeal to the supreme court. 




ukip millionaire donor arron banks accused the <u+201c>legal establishment<u+201d> of <u+201c>declaring war on british democracy<u+201d>. 




he added: <u+201c>parliament voted six-to-one in favour of letting the people decide. 




<u+201c>they didn<u+2019>t get the answer they wanted, and now they<u+2019>re going to use every dirty trick in the book to try to sabotage, delay or water down brexit.<u+201d> 




ukip leadership hopeful suzanne evans blasted the judges and said the court ruling <u+201c>undermines democracy<u+201d>. 




the former party chair urged the government to appeal. 




she wrote on twitter : <u+201c>how dare these activist judges attempt to overturn our will? it<u+2019>s a power grab & undermines democracy. time we had the right to sack them. 




<u+201d> article 50 is an eu trap we must not fall in to. it will tie us into the eu for years. the government must appeal. people power must win.<u+201d> 




labour leader jeremy corbyn said: <u+201c>this ruling underlines the need for the government to bring its negotiating terms to parliament without delay. 




<u+201c>labour respects the decision of the british people to leave the european union. 




<u+201c>but there must be transparency and accountability to parliament on the terms of brexit . 




<u+201c>labour will be pressing the case for a brexit that works for britain, putting jobs, living standards and the economy first.<u+201d> 




liberal democrats leader tim farron welcomed the ruling. 




he said: <u+201c>given the strict two year timetable of exiting the eu once article 50 is triggered, it is critical that the government now lay out their negotiating to parliament, before such a vote is held.<u+201d>
