Nigel Farage och EU [rubrik ändrad/mod]

UKIP's Nigel Farage said the cash demand would add to the UK's already substantial budget deficit and he would "not pay a penny" to the European Union.

"The EU is like a thirsty vampire feasting on UK taxpayers' blood," he said. "We need to protect the innocent victims, who are us."

Margot Wallström skräder inte orden om EU-skeptiska Ukips partiledare Nigel Farage.

– Det är en avskyvärd person, den här Farage, det tycker jag verkligen, säger hon.

It is a big game of poker.

..it is a question who blinks first and neither side can afford to blink.

...how can mrs Merkel and the ECB allow a huge level of debt relief without the same being extended to Spain and indeed Italy. I was there the other week and the euroscepticisma in Italy is extraordinary now..

..Tsipras seems to me the kind of guy that isnt afraid of anything, I dont see him backing down

..We will reach a point, perhaps at the end of the year where Greece may be forced to leave the euro

.. the real threat to the euro is if Greece leaves and 18 months down the line and Greece has had a devaluation and the economy is starting looking good the risk is that other mediterranean countries will do the same.

... When Argentina broke the peg with the dollar 80% were against that, after 80% were pleased they had.

... when you are stuck in the wrong currency one of two things happen,
Either you devalue the currency or start again or you devalue the country. .. we have been watching effectively before our eyes Greece becoming a third world country.

..I dont care about left or right eurosceptics, what I care about is a Europe where we have sovereign democratic states, where we can trade together as friends and not be governed by a centralised bureacracy in Brussels.

There are very few people in this room that understand or dare to admit the significance of the moment we have reached

In the wake off the historic Greek election there are big questions not only about the future of the eurozone but actually about the european project itself.

There is a great game of poker that is taking place.for the future of this currency

On the one hand we have the EU institutions. However as much my warnings under these years may have upset people the EU will crash and kill and destroy national state democracy, I think the behaviour of the key players since the greek elections have justified all that I have said.

...Mr Junckers says there can be no democratic choice against the European treatises ... what it means in fact is that the European project is the very antithesis of the democratic principle.

Having seen (Varoufakis) I think he may be the real deal.... what is at stake here is, do the Greek elections mean anything?

I hope the Greeks stand firm whatever the consequenses If they do the free world will applaud them.

Nigel Farage is 'right too often' about European Union failings

European Commission vice-president Frans Timmermans, the second most powerful man in Brussels, admits Ukip leader is right on EU's failings

... Timmermans, the second most powerful man in Brussels, said he is “terribly annoyed” by how frequently the leader of the UK Independence Party appeared to correctly diagnose the bloc’s failings – particularly its handling of the migration crisis – even when he strongly disagrees with his proposed solutions ...

"The problem with Ukip and the extreme right, Mr Le Pen, Wilders, they are really good at making an analysis of the problem ...
