We're living in a German-dominated Europe of Disharmony - UKIP Leader Nigel Farage

Nobody in their right minds would not agree that it was a sensible thing to do to get France and Germany together, round the table, to break bread with each other, to have a trade deal with each other back in the 1950's and to work as sovereign, democratic, nations together for peace. All of that was absolutely right and high minded. Sadly, the whole thing has become corrupted. Tony Blair said, "the EU today is no longer about peace, it is about power" and how right he was and how that power has shifted. When Kohl and Mitterand came here, representing their countries 25 years ago it was a partnership of equals but no longer. France is now severely diminished, trapped inside a currency from which frankly she can't recover and the French voice in this relationship and in Europe is little more now frankly than a pipsqueak. It's an irony isn't it, that the project that was designed to contain German power has now given us a totally German-dominated Europe. Just look at the euro, Germany has a currency that is undervalued by twenty percent, a growing and massive trade surplus and most growth in the German economy since the collapse of 2008 has indeed been in exports to other Eurozone countries such as your very big arm sales to countries like Greece. And when we have a General Election that says a country like Greece wants to change direction, well I'm sorry but that now must be brushed aside because the Germans don't want it. And in what must count as perhaps the worst piece of public policy seen in modern Europe for half a century, when you compounded the already failed and flawed EU Common Asylum Policy by saying to the whole world please come to Europe, and we saw frankly, virtually a stampede and we learnt that eighty percent of those that are coming are not Syrian refugees, in fact what you've done is to open the door to young, male, economic migrants. Many of whom I have to say behave in a rather aggressive manner, quite the opposite to what you would ever expect to see from any refugee, and yet when that failure is met by objections from countries like Hungary their opinions are crushed. This isn't a Europe of peace, it's a Europe of division, it's a Europe of disharmony, it's a Europe that is a recipe for resentment. And yet faced with all this failure, both of you said the same thing today. You said Europe isn't working so we must have more Europe. More of the same failing, well there is I think a bright star on the horizon. It's called the British referendum and given that none of you want to concede Britain the ability to take back control of her own borders a Brexit now looks more likely than at any point in modern time and I hope and pray that Britain voting to leave the European Union will be the beginning of the end of a project, however noble its original intentions, has gone wrong. .................... • Video: EbS (European Parliament) .................................. • EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, United Kingdom

  5. farage a god in our life time
  6. I hate the EU. They made unicorns die out with their health and safety regulations for being too pointy.
  7. The video title is heavily misleading. All I can do is vote and then parties do whatever they want anyway. It's a few elites that make the choices, not the germans as a whole. Most of the time I don't go voting anyway since it is pointless.
  8. Love how Farage never went to college and Merkel has a doctoral degree in chemistry. Farage, you're an intellectual light weight. Just, don't try mate. Just don't. You're embarrassing yourself now.
  9. Nigel is no different from a dodgy used car salesman. If you believe Brexit will improve your life then you are deluded. Ask yourself what are the motives of his businessman backer ? Nigel is a fraud, a trickster, a traitor ?

  15. The only man in The European Parlament that has two nuts to say the reality.
    Congratulations for the Brexit Nigel, be proud of it.
  16. German dominated... Uhu. You forced us in the EU, you forced the Euro on us. Germany is not free since the end of WW2!
  17. From a regular unemployed young man from the most sabotaged generation alive right now in this country. We have nothing, no jobs, no rights, no hopes and surely no stability in the near future. We changed from a boot-licking president without any idea of what to do, to a socialist lunatic who believes in miracles and good luck charms.

    We are completely lost and in a rabbit hole for at least the next 60 years if we maintain the path we're heading right now

    We need someone with half of your posture, courage and ideas to take us out from this self-destructing road ASAP. And it's such a shame since we have one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

    My biggest regards mr. Farage. From Portugal
  18. Britain must leave the EU because Germany is strong? wtf.
  19. angela merkel is a inproper cunt.
