Gerard Batten, UKIP Strategy and Article 50 Criticism

UKIP leader Gerard Batten argues that the British political class has intentionally delayed Brexit to eventually overturn the referendum result. Batten criticizes the use of Article 50, suggesting instead that the UK should have simply repealed the 1972 European Communities Act to achieve an immediate "hard Brexit." He likens Theresa May's negotiated deal to a dysfunctional divorce where the parties still share a bed and bills.
