Nigel Farage calls on 'genuine Scottish nationalists' to vote for the Brexit ...

Nigel Farage has made a pitch to SNP voters in Scotland, saying Scottish independence while still in the EU is the 'most dishonest political discourse I've ever seen anywhere in the world'.

Urging pro-independence voters to 'lend your votes to the Brexit Party', Mr Farage told a passionate rally in Edinburgh that the party was set to revolutionise British politics.

He told supporters, who had paid £2.50 to attend the event in the Scottish capital: 'Our politics is full of deception because here in Scotland we have the extraordinary situation where Nicola Sturgeon talks about independence.

'She says that separating from the United Kingdom but staying part of the European Union means that Scotland will be independent.

'It is, I think, the most dishonest political discourse I've ever seen anywhere in the world.

'You cannot be independent if you're governed from the European Court of Justice. You cannot be independent if you're in the EU's customs union and single market. You cannot be independent if you're governed by Monsieur Barnier and Mr Juncker.'

He suggested that up to 30% of SNP voters do not want to be part of the EU, and added: 'Even though I'm very unionist, I would say to those voters: unless we get Brexit, you cannot really have an intelligent debate about Scotland's future.

Farage also suggested that up to 30 per cent of SNP voters do not want to be part of the EU, adding that Scotland should leave the EU with the rest of the UK before it can have an 'intelligent' debate on Scotland's future

'Actually, what you ought to do folks, is at this election lend your votes to the Brexit Party. Let's get out of the European Union and then have an honest debate about the future of Scotland.'
