Nigel Farage in EU action mode
Discussion
Well at least he is passionate.
"Good morning Mr. van Rompuy, you've been in office for one year, and in that time the whole edifice is beginning to crumble, there's chaos, the money's running out, I should thank you - you should perhaps be the pinup boy of the euroskeptic movement. But just look around this chamber this morning, look at these faces, look at the fear, look at the anger. Poor Barroso here looks like he's seen a ghost. They're beginning to understand that the game is up. And yet in their desperation to preserve their dream, they want to remove any remaining traces of democracy from the system. And it's pretty clear that none of you have learned anything"

Will have to dig out Question Time to watch - I have a lot of time for Farage, just a shame he comes across all swivel-eyed and ranty...
This line got my attention, and should be cause for concern...
"because if you rob people of their identity, if you rob them of their democracy, then all they are left with is nationalism and violence. I can only hope and pray that the euro project is destroyed by the markets before that really happens."

Unless it was a trick of editing and camera angles, the majority seemed to concur with Mr Farage in general.
I'm encouraged to find - from this program and in other places - that at the present time, no one from the Labour party seems to carry any economic gravitas in the eyes of most of the (thinking) public.

Yep - he was rather ranty last night - but fun to watch in action. That Labour lady (De Piero) almost out ranted him last night so, in comparison, he seemed almost sane.
Good to see his plane crash hasn't blunted his style.
Yep, all she had to contribute was NOTHING apart from "OOO nasty man said this"Good to see his plane crash hasn't blunted his style.
Political eye candy!
