VIDEO: Farage Batters Van Rompuy (Again)

“With everyone of your predictions it goes on getting worse, I’m sorry sir you don’t have the presence, the credibility or the standing for the international markets to believe you can provide a solution. And Mr Barroso here, who stood up at the G20 and said “we don’t need any lessons on democracy”. Says the unelected president of the European Commission… You’ve made yourselves an international laughing stock. You don’t have any credibility.”

      No it didn’t it started the day gordon and bullyballs walked into No.11 and their policies and decisions trashed everything in their path until the day they walked out of no.10.

      It started there and that’s where the buck will stop.

          Can anyone have a go at explaining why it’s a criminal offense to fix a cricket match, but not to fix interest rates upon which a large part of the world’s economy depends?

          Thanks

          • because if everyone who was paid less interest on their savings or holdings claimed back the interest from 2007 when this Brown and Balls stitch up started, it would bankrupt the banks and Treasuries of more than few countries.

            BoE and FSA all knew and were involved so any damage has to be limited and blame passed away from politician didn’t you follow Leveson and Chillcott?

            The rotten core is at Westminster and still no action to rid the institution from pervasive corruption- all three main party leaders promised a clean up and none have delivered. Kelly report catching dust on the shelf.

            When will MPs face criminal prosecution on the scale they deserve? Still waiting for David Laws case to be referred to the police for criminal investigation. Suspended 7 days from parliament is less than they have to tolerate Brown and Milipede senior. Homosexuality is no defence to false accounting.

            Tax dodging is worse than benefit cheats says Danny Alexander- how about MPs house flipping on a serial scale???? Including those in the Lie Dumbs.

            Public did not want AV so Clegg has denied the public a right to referendum on the Lords reform so he can force AV through- total contempt to the public. Horrible politician who wants to change British culture. Why does he not clear off to Spain, Germany or wherever catches his European fanatical mind if he dislikes it here so much??

      It started in Brussels the day they fiddled the rules to allow unsuitable Mediterranean countries to join their single currency. The financial crisis was just the trigger. There will always be financial ups and downs, a currency needs to be able to survive them. Blaming capitalism is like blaming the sea because your boat sinks the first time a wave hits it.

      · “Jean Monet, the founding father of the European Union, had a very particular vision of Europe’s future back in 1952, and he expressed it in a letter to a colleague on 30th April that year: ‘Europe’s nations should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.’”

    Aunty Matter says:

    The BBC really are hopeless, all they’ve done today is to try to spin the banking fiasco as just another ‘Tory mess’

    Victoria Derbyshire re-tweeting comments about alleged Tory links to banks, Nicky Campbell defending Gordon Brown live on air and attacking Cameron. Is Nicky Campbell is total self denial or is Gordon Brown just a good shag?

    No mention of a Labour peer admitting it was their fault. No mention that Alistair Darling thinks we don’t need a public inquiry (we know what went wrong I think it what he said) and not a single mention of Ed Balls or Gordon Brown.

    In fact Osborne got a battering last week for sending out the useless Chloe Smith to do the interviews, yet Labour are doing the same with some nomark Shadow Minister I’ve never heard of.

    And where is Gordon Brown? Why is there not a queue of journalists outside his house in Scotland demanding an interview?

    How can a total c u n t like Brown just get away with it? The one eyed mong enjoyed milking the credit (not that he deserved any for fucking the economy) but the BBC don’t seem to think he’s even worth mentioning.

    If anyone brings up the FSA and WHO set it up the BBC silence them straight away.

    It’s a total fucking disgrace, the BBC know Brown is to blame.

    Even thicko Victoria Derbyshire had to say sorry on air for ‘claiming’ that Northern Rock an Lehman Brothers went bust at the same time, in her shrieky voice she claimed they did and only towards the end of her show had to admit Northern Crock went bust a whole year before Lehman Brothers did.

    Those lefty mongs who claim that our banking system only went down because it all started in America are full of shit. Our banks failed because they were poorly regulated and allowed to loan out money to people who could never afford to pay it back. The whole thing was built on a pack of cards but Liebore were happy so long as Brown’s false boom continued.

      The BBC seem to think that when it comes to banking that the 1980s deregulation under Thatcher was the first cause, then 1997 – 2010 never even happened, then Cameron took over from where Thatcher left off.

      They are in utter denial that ALL the things which are being uncovered now, happened on LABOUR’s watch. ALL of them.

      The phone hacking was happening when Cameron was a back-bench opposition MP.

      The NHS trusts heading for bankruptcy because of LABOUR’s corrupt and insane PFI schemes. Then the BBC has the gall to blame John Major, because his government came up with PFI’s first. Well those PFI’s were kept to a minimum, were affordable and used very rarely in exceptional circumstances. Labour let rip with buy now, let some other sucker pay later…

      This Libor fixing scandal, again ALL took place under Brown and Balls’ noses when they were in office.

      The BBC are the PR wing of the labour party.

        I Remember You Hoo says:

        “The BBC are the PR wing of the labour party.”

        The thing is, the BBC has always ( during my lifetime ) been the PR wing of the Labour party. The bigger question is, knowing that, why did Cameron and the Tories, choose to ignore the fact and do nothing about it?

All this talk of a referendum is a waste of time, because the Euro and the EU as we know it is likley to self destruct, and it may well happen before the end of this year.

    I had some spare time yesterday and decided to watch the digital channel “Yesterday”. I watched the programme, the origins of the second world war. The mass unemployment around at the time, particularly in Germany, gave rise, a long with other circumstances, like hyperinflation, (where a 4 billion deutschmark note, would not even buy a loaf of bread), to Hitler, and the rest is history so to speak.

    I couldn’t help thinking that history is about to repeat itself, especially with the 11% unemployed(over 17m people) that no politician any where in Europe seems to care not one jot!

    You can be sure of course that the rich privileged politicians will not suffer in any way in this crises. Especially those unelected EU/German boot licker officials.

    Nothing has changed. Even coming to power, Hitler employed his henchmen to do his violent dirty work for him. Step forward the troika, the commission et al!

      Hyperinflation in Germany happened in 1922 when QE was used to pay off the imposed reparations insisted upon by the FRENCH. Britain was not happy but acceded to US and French pressure for the imposition of reparations.

      Do that to a traumatised society and you end up with Hitlers.
