Leader of UKIP and prominent Leave campaigner Nigel Farage has boasted that the backers of Brexit got their wish “without a single bullet being fired” despite the murder of Jo Cox just eight days ago.
Jo Cox was a Labour MP noted for her sympathy towards, Syrian refugees murdered by Thomas Mair, an active nationalist and Britain First supporter in his fifties. She was 41 years old when she was stabbed and shot to death.
Mair went on to give his name in court as “death to traitors, freedom for Britain”, further suggesting his political motive.
Farage has been slammed on Twitter for seeming to dismiss the death of Cox.

Good morning. We've left the EU.
Farage's reaction; 'We've done it without a single bullet being fired'.
Seriously..?!?

Farage went on to say that the result was a victory for “real people, for ordinary people, for decent people.”
