Is this the New Winston Churchill?

Politics aside, he's a compelling and formidable speaker:

I'm actually surprised they still allow him in the EU Parliament, he's so vehemently anti-Euro and anti-EU, still he greedily sucks from the big EU tit... I suppose they keep him for the entertainment factor, especially now that Berlusconi is not around lol

Wow, I wish we had realists like this here. Farage seems to have a pair of brass ones and calls it like it is. Not a sniveling sycophant that's for sure.
Im glad that there are still politicians that put the good of their nation before others.

That is the problem with the UK governments.
On the one hand they constantly bemoand the lack of democracy of the EU. On the other hand, at every attempt to get in more democracy, and thus legitimacy, they block and moan.

A directly voted for EU President has been on the Agenda for a long time, always blocked by the UK.

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is one reason why nobody is taking the UK serious anymore in Europe. Because they are just here to moan and whine (like the naysayers here in this forum), never to make a constructive contribution of any kind on the political level.

Britian is only in the EU to have a say at what happens on its door step. They wont go balls deep but they wont pull out. They dont want to give the power up but if it did - it could actually be stronger...

Britian is just backwards (imo) so many things done on the continent are better and if we wernt so arrogant we could learn allot from Europe. The fat cats and officials at the top just dont want someone in Brussels telling them how much they earn... Its the insulation from the channel all over again... That little strip of water has shaped this country so much...

We, in Britian, still drive on the wrong side of the road ffs...

there are some idiosyncrasies and differences between the UK and Europe (and the rest of the world for the matter) that are just impossible to change.

The UK should stay an independent country for its own good, but it's obvious that on the long run sitting on the fence and barking at who's making policies will be considered annoying and uncommitted.

What good? We are not the British empire any more... Wake up.

[Sternjaeger II]

Empires are not economically and morally viable anymore, the UK did incredibly well in other sectors. This country flourished when it invested in R&D and finance, and the wealth generated by this was the engine that carried everybody else along.
This has changed lately and the result is a stalemate which can be even more dangerous if not addressed on time.

I believe the UK should stay well out of the Eurozone, but should really work better when it comes to economic interactions. The stupid naysaying attitude of this government and clowns like Farage aren't doing us a great deal of good
