BBC QT audience member tells Remainer ’Farage WILL be back’
The 18-year-old boy argued Brexiteers like Michael Gove, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage had made promises they could not keep during the Brexit referendum campaign in 2016. He accused the hard-Brexiteers in Parliament to have run away from the responsibility of delivering a good deal and claimed they had "taken his future away" as he was not old enough to vote against Britons decision two years ago.
He said: “I’m 18 and I couldn’t vote in the referendum and I saw Gove, Johnson and Farage promising things that could never happen and they’ve all run away now.
“We’re never going to have a deal like we had with the EU before with all the favourable agreements we had with them and I feel that we’ve had our future taken away from us in some ways.”
But a passionate Brexiteeer in the audience shouted back at the young Remainer and stood up for the former Ukip leader.
He said: “Nigel Farage hasn’t gone away and he will come back I’m sure.”

It comes as Prime Minister Theresa May presented Cabinet ministers and Parliament with the final draft agreement reached with Brussels on Wednesday.
Theresa May faced criticism from Brexiteers and Remainers on both sides of the House and a series of resignations in her Cabinet and Government.
Dominic Raab, former Brexit Secretary, handed in his resignation on Thursday as he claimed he could not support the Prime Minister's deal on the basis it did not fulfil their party's manifesto promises.
In his resignation letter to Theresa May, Mr Raab wrote: “It has been an honour to serve in your government as Justice Minister, Housing Minister and Brexit Secretary.

"I regret to say that following the Cabinet meeting yesterday on the Brexit deal I must resign."
Dominic Raab said Mrs May's Brexit plan threatened the integrity of the UK and he could not support an indefinite backstop arrangement where the EU held a veto over Britain's ability to exit.
