Nigel Farage: Greece in eurozone was a mistake
Greece is being brought to a standstill by another nationwide strike against government debt reduction measures. The twenty-four hour walkout is already the second in the last ten days. It has been shutting down public services, grounding flights and closing schools and hospitals. Violent protests erupted at the end of February when the government unveiled new measures to help curb its debt of more than 400 billion dollars. The austerity package included a rise in consumer taxes and a pension freeze. The EU has pressured Greece into taking this harsh action, but has failed to offer any financial help. Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independance Party, says countries like Greece and Spain should never have been allowed to join the union.

Farage vs Brown
Gordon Brown meets the real opposition when he visits Strasbourg.
For those of you who have asked, Nigel spoke a few moments before Daniel Hannan lambasted Gordon Brown.
This is the transcript:
Mr President, the Prime Minister has received some criticism this afternoon for his comment British jobs for British workers, but you can brush that aside, because from the moment he said it I do not think anybody seriously thought that he would ever, as a British Prime Minister, put the interests of British workers above that of his European dream. My goodness me, you showed that this afternoon, Prime Minister.
It is just a pity that, apart from UKIP, virtually nobody seems to have bothered to turn up to listen to you. You are very popular here. You are very popular indeed because within a few days of the Irish saying no to the Lisbon Treaty, you had rammed that Treaty through the British Parliament, breaking a specific manifesto pledge that you would give the British people a referendum on the Constitutional Treaty.
Shame on you, Prime Minister, for doing that. You have devalued democracy in our country; you have devalued the trust that voters put in you as a British Prime Minister. Of course, we know the reason why. The reason why is that we would have voted no. You said in your speech that none but those on the extremes oppose European Union. Well, that may be right amongst professional career politicians, but a clear majority of the British people want us to have friendship and free trade with the European Union, but do not want to be members of this political Union.
You cannot continue to build this European Union against public opinion. If you do it against the will of the people, you are storing up enormous social and political problems for the future. Please let the peoples of Europe decide their destiny. Do not have it done in parliaments like this and parliaments like Westminster. It will not work!
As far as the economy is concerned, you have told us that somehow you are the economic guru; you are the man who can save the world. Well, I remember very well your first big act as Chancellor when you sold 400 metric tonnes of gold on the worlds exchanges at USD 275 an ounce. At todays valuation, that would be USD 10 billion higher. It was not just the fact that you got it wrong, because we can all get it wrong. It was the fact that you announced in advance how much you were going to sell and on what day you were going to sell it. It was an error so basic that the average A-level economics student even in these educationally devalued times would not have done this. To add to that, you have destroyed our private pension system, and you took away from the Bank of England its ability to regulate the banks and gave it to the tick-box bureaucrats of the FSA in Canary Wharf.
We have not heard an apology. Your Government has apologised for the Amritsar massacre; you have apologised for slavery; you have apologised for virtually everything. Will you please apologise for what you did as British Chancellor, and then perhaps we might just listen to you?

Van Rompuy holds Farage in contempt
EU Council President Herman van Rompuy says he holds Nigel Farage in contempt for the tirade against him during the first-ever official appearance of the EU president in the parliament.
Exterior view of the EP , Brussels
00:00'10"Herman Van Rompuy, EU council President, in French, I am glad about the European ambition I found here this afternoon, I am glad about this sense of emergency that I heard this afternoon ; There is only one contribution for which I can only held in content (on Farages calling him a wet rat")
00:00'32"We have taken special measures to save financial institutions, not because we love them but without them there is no economy. We led a smart monetary policy, we've injected liquidity into the economy which was not done 70 years ago. For at least 16 countries we've created despite all the problems a zone of monetary stability, and in the 1930s there were competitive devaluation; We don't have those now. "
00:01'08""We saved our internal market. It is not perfect, we need to deepen it and Mr Monti will make us concrete proposals , but we did not fall into protectionism as in the 30s"
00:01'25""it is thanks to the EU that the G20 was born; We took the initiative to create this embryo of world governance. It is the first time that old and new powers joined to fight the crisis."
00:01'46""We should not always put the EU on the defensive mode; there are also good things that happened"
00:01'56""We need some important reforms at EU and National levels which will include budgetary choices"
00:02'09""If we say we need more in Research and Development, well then we should forecast those in National budgets and in the EU financial perspectives. This requests budgetary choices, another consequence of the Lisbon Strategy is that all that we proposed as objectives are not always regarded as soft ones, it could well be, hard objectives and there will come a difficult time, there is a demand for reform and there is implementation of the reforms"
00:02'56""At EU level people demand hard measures and you go back to your country I see few results from all that so we need a consistent position"
00:03'09""The method is not all . method only without political commitment is worthless"
00:03'19""For the economic strategy , it is very well to hear that we need binding measures yes ok but "The Lisbon treaty on the economic guidelines does not make provisions for that...it does not include penalties or negative measures when its a matter of implementing the guidelines Have a closer look at art121 "
00:03'19""One word on Greece. I believe that the right message was sent , one of responsibility of the Greek Government who has to manage a very difficult situation, one it has inherited"
00:04'14"" If the present measures are not enough to reach a reduction of 4 % of the deficit in 2010 we will take extra measures, we committed to more monitoring not only following initiative of the European Commission but also the ECB and the World monetary Fund expertise; so we have very well defined responsibility, there is also if necessary an element of solidarity"

Note on the rejected EU Constitution and Lisbon Treaty:
The people of France and the Netherlands rejected the proposed EU constitution in the 2005 referendums. Since all 27 Member States are required to ratify, the Constitution was dead, but this took a long time to sink in. After this, other countries cancelled a promised referendum and the EU Constitution was re-written as an "amending treaty" or a "reform treaty" and named "Treaty of Lisbon".
On the basis of this deceit, they claimed that no referendums are necessary on the Lisbon Treaty. Ireland was constitutionally required to hold a referendum and on the 12 June 2008 the people of Ireland gave a resounding No to Lisbon. Yet this vote is not being respected and the rule of law is being ignored. The EU leaders agreed at the June 19-20 EU Summit that ratifications must go on. Moreover, 26 Member States are being denied a referendum.
The Lisbon Treaty establishes a new "European Union" with joint citizenship - an EU "federal" State that is technically and politically empowered to centralize more power in Brussels. The treaty also stipulates the militarisation of the Union in order to 'police the world' just like the US does today.

Who is Nigel Farage ?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nigel Paul Farage (pronounced /fÉĖrÉĖŹ/;[1][2] born 3 April 1964) is a British politician and is the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) [3], a position he previously held from September 2006 to November 2009. He is a current Member of the European Parliament for South East England and co-chairs the Eurosceptic Europe of Freedom and Democracy group.
Farage was a founding member of the UKIP, having left the Conservative Party in 1992 after they signed the Maastricht Treaty. Having unsuccessfully campaigned in European and Westminster parliamentary elections for UKIP since 1994, he was elected as the MEP for South East England in the 1999 European Parliament Election and was re-elected in 2004 and 2009.
In September 2006, Farage became the UKIP Leader and led the party through the 2009 European Parliament Election in which it received the second highest share of the popular vote, defeating Labour and the Liberal Democrats with over two million votes. However he stepped down in November 2009 to concentrate on contesting the Speaker John Bercow's seat of Buckingham in the 2010 general election.
Following the 2010 General Election, Farage failed to unseat John Bercow and only received the third highest share of the vote in the constituency. Shortly after the polls opened on 6 May 2010, Nigel Farage was injured in a plane crash in Northamptonshire. The two-seated PZL-104 Wilga 35A had been towing a pro-UKIP banner when it flipped over and crashed shortly after takeoff. Both Farage and the pilot were hospitalised with minor injuries.[4]
In November 2010, Farage successfully stood in the 2010 UKIP leadership contest,[5] following the resignation of its leader, Malcolm Pearson. Farage was also ranked 41st (out of 100) in The Daily Telegraph's Top 100 most influential right-wingers poll in October 2009, citing his media savvy and his success with UKIP in the European Elections.[6] Farage was ranked 58th in the 2010 list compiled by Iain Dale and Brian Brivati for the Daily Telegraph.
