But this hardline stance prompted a walkout of high-profile candidates.  Farage today joined attacks on the crude think tank stereotype - of an "older, white, non-graduate voter living in rugby league towns in the north" - as a "load of patronising cobblers".  But when he met the real people of Cumbria, he got a stern talking-to himself.    Labour voter Karl let rip saying the 2016 EU referendum was won on the basis of "lies" s Farage's two bodyguards swept in to stand between the pair.  Karl, from Egremont, said: "We don't need you coming here. Why aren't you standing as a candidate?"  Asked how he'd solve the Brexit crisis, he said: "I would give it back to the people and let them decide now there's information.  "Because there were so many lies told the last time. You can't deny there were lies. There were lies.  "I speak to people round here in my rugby club - you've got people who are cleaners and don't have jobs right through to company directors and thingfs like that.  "The people in there thought they were going to take back control, they thought it was about Islam, they thought it was about things that it was nothing to do with at all, right.  "And you're trying to profit from that politics of fear."  Farage said people had voted for independence - and Labour were breaking their promise to honour the result.   But Karl insisted it was the Tories' "mess" not Labour's and said: "We're not independent, are we? We'll never be independnet."  .   The politician received a mixed reaction as he visited the region on Wednesday.  Right-wing think tank Onward named "Workington man" as a key swing voter for the Tories ahead of the election on December 12.   It described a "middle England" voter who is an older, white, non-graduate man from the North of England, with strong rugby league traditions and a tendency to vote Labour .  Farage, who is the first of the party leaders to visit the town since it was named as a key target, claimed the idea was a "load of patronising cobblers" as he addressed a roomful of supporters in the Washington Hotel in Workington.     Farage received a more positive reaction from IT engineer Nigel Metcalf, 47, a lifelong Labour supporter who voted to leave the EU, a
