paxman's being a dick head. askin stupid questions like why would you have an army? would you start wars with people? So desperately trying to put farage down but he's making himself look ridiculous! Labour are a limp wristed bunch of retards with no clue of how to run a country.
The problem with the electorate is that they all say they believe in democracy and then the vast majority fall for the trap of voting for one of the three main parties, which, when it come to the major issues, all have virtually identical policies. In short, you can have democracy as long as you choose a pro-EU, pro-mass immigration, pro-big government, interventionist government. It's a bit like playing cards with a stacked deck - you always end up with the card the dealer wanted you to have!
You people are talking as if you've never heard Paxman before, he never goes easy on interviewees. "Oooh, he's being mean to Nigel Farage!" Grow up!!!
Love the way he calls public service workers not 'real' jobs... lets hope if he has a plane crash or something his doctors, nurses, surgeons are all 'real' hey nigel.
I think hes referring to the counntless call centre kind of services, over manufacture jobs, its no secret the UK has gone mad on the service industry and its made us very frail.
@animesis Call centers, such as ones run by banks, are not in the public - no, he's quite clearly here referring to the people working in schools, the NHS, sweeping roads, etc.
I don't disagree we should look at staffing levels, but to actually consider those who collect rubbish as 'not doing a real job' or that teachers contribute nothing to society displays a high level of head-in-own-arse ignorance of reality which UKIP supporters seem to have in abundance.
I get the feeling by use of the word "quangos" (?) he means less important jobs, rather than NHS staff. Im not sure what jobs are unreal though. Though on personal reflection my cousin has autism yet it takes something like 3 special helpers at school daily, now I agree he needs help but it seems a bit excessive. Its all a mess, the welfare state has been truely messed up.
I would like to see him name the unreal jobs though, you have a point, just who is he talking about.
Speaking as a pretty liberal bloke, that was awful political bias on Paxmans part. You can't treat a man like he's mad just because he does not like the EU.
@MrTech012 Yep. But in the interests of full disclosure, I haven't actually watched tis video beyond the first twenty seconds or so. I do vote Labour and like the BBC though.
@rtozier2011 that's entirely your free choice - others watch to the end - some people have also realized that bbc = british brainwashing corporation isn't far off the mark
@animesis French attributes for a British institution ? Many people think the second B stands for Bullshit. People are also forced to pay to keep it in business. Aljazeera is free.
Used to like Paxman. He's lost his mojo in recent years.
Farage absolutely destroys him on every single exchange here, including Paxman's rather silly attempt to put him off over the pronunciation of his name at the beginning.
No matter what you think about the UKIP policies, some may be wrong, some may be right, most of what he's saying is very true and is just plain and simple common sense.
Okay, he sold me in bringing the Pullman trains back. As far as I know, only VSOE UK run any Pullman trains, and at over £500 a ticket if I want to travel by with a Steam locomotive, I think they can jog on.
Its all Supply and Demand, if there were more it would be cheaper. If we switched the numbers of types then tickets for a diesel train would likely hit 500
And the ridiculous man wants to raise the defence budget and double the amount of prisons, whilst magically cutting 50 billions pound without expecting ill-effects. enlightening...
We`d get 30billion back from the EU if we left -annual membership fee, fish stocks. We would also get the rights to trade with the Commonwealth back, and we dont need EU membership to have a free trade agreement. The political EU snuck in through the back door.
Why is it most of you are in denial about who was actually the laughing stock in this debate, which would be the gentleman to my right on the screen :)
I don't affiliate with a party, but I consider myself centrist/centre-left. I am 100% unsure on Europe, but I feel UKIP show the BNP how to be more British without being racist and I totally respect them for that! Good on them keeping away our native neo nazis.
And you Farage arse-lickers/worshippers will see how Paxman REALLY lays into people. He goes for the kill with a lefty ill-prepared protester pseudo-student.
Just bloody watch that clip... and you think poor old Nigel is hard done by??? Grow up you paranoid political UKIP children. Left or right, Paxman (at his best) lays into all.
Paxman is the quentessential liberal prick, an elitist snobby Marxist traitor. The day he dies is the day I rejoice for Britain. Awe hell, the day any liberal dies is Christmas for me!
Woooaahh! Did Farage say he wants to take a knife to the Quango's? That's some racist shit right there. Leave the Quango's alone man. What have this Amazonian tribe ever done to this guy?
@ScottishCaledonian - Sounds like it - you don't buy massive military infrastructure to cure poverty - I can't think of a single example in the history of mankind where it wasn't employed to kill people - en mass.
@ginganz13 According to UN figures coroboratted by Amnesty International, IPR and many other independent bodies,the vast majority of Afghans and Iraqis are killed by insurgents.
@ScottishCaledonian - Even if that was true, as a high contracting party to the UN charter the invading force is responsible for everything that happens - its a pity you're not as familiar with the basics of International law as you are with big ticketing and reflexive judgement.
@ScottishCaledonian Nope, they just want us to be able to protect ourselves. Unlike now were our military is outdated by other leaders such as France and Germany and where we don't even have enough aircraft carriers to land our planes on.
Inheritance tax is pretty much a punishment for dying
We're not trying to kill brown people you racist and the cost of 'getting oil' is far greater than the money made from it
Crime has been going up, prisons haven't kept up, it doesn't take a genius to work out they need expanding, the best prevention ultimately is a strong deterrent via high sentences
we have too many people in the public sector and they've overpaid it's been obvious for over a decade and hardly subjective
What's racist pointing out the ethnicity of people you 'cant avoid' killing by the 100k? Would you really be there if they only sold carrots?
The deterrent failed so create more of it - people keep falling off the cliff so build a bigger hospital at the bottom??
With the ideas you've come up with so far it's hardly surprising you'd rather public sector workers go on the dole and have hopeless jail-bait families than contribute.
@MrPhilNorth Big problem with all that is that many people work in the public sector, for Quangos or even if they are in the private sector get business from government sources. They have votes (whether we like it or not!) - so any politicians must do the pruning with a deal more care than Farage (and you) seems to be capable of. Political reality.
Inheritance tax is a way of stopping the poor from keeping wealth should their parents DARE to accumulate it, it barely does anything to the "rich" you are referring to.
Ukip wants to pull troops out of all stupid wars.
Ukip wants us to be able to defend ourselves, something which we technically aren't able to do at the moment.
@ScottishCaledonian We don't have the equipment we NEED to operate in modern warfare, look at news stories about deaths in Afghanistan. Lack of Proper equipment comes up as a reason for soldiers deaths a lot. It shouldn't be coming up AT ALL.
@TheConnorian You have not answeredthe question, how is Britains armed forces obsolete compared to Germany and France. Germany does not even have a blue water navy or nucleaer subs or aircraft carriers ? Please explain yourself ?
@ScottishCaledonian When did I say obsolete? It is simply not equipped to the same standard as Germany's or France's. By the way could you tell me what parts of Germany are in areas where blue water navies operate? or could you tell me why they would need aircraft carriers when they do not have German territory overseas? the whole point of an aircraft carrier is to have an air force to defend an area where your air force cannot operate is it not?
@TheConnorian More jails as a 'deterrent' - when you have basically said they don't deter anything - there's a waiting list to get in them FFS! It takes a lot of education to be as thick as you dumb-ass.
@ginganz13 Dude do you even read your arguments. According to your page it says you are 49 years old, to be as shit as writing as you are at that age takes skill. Your response isn't even an argument, its a statement, did you read it back? you know I won't even respond with an argument til you sort out your grammar inability.
@TheConnorian Yes - it's a true statement about how retarded your suggestion to build more prisons is. If Prison is a deterrent, as you suggest, why do you need to build more? Clearly it ain't much of a deterrent is it? you fuckwit.
I never said prison was a deterrent, you must have eyesight problems. We need to build more to house the criminals who are not in prison and are simply on prison waiting lists. Your lack of eyesight might explain your lack of knowledge.
@TheConnorian There is no waiting list for prison. No judge/probation would hold back on sentence/recall EVER. That's why there are problems at times with not enough spaces. You just cannot let a dangerous offender out to roam the streets - judges simply do not that do that.
@ginganz13 Agree - prison is not a deterrent; indeed we send people to prison for longer than we have ever done (and that is fact). It is true that the only plausible argument for prison is that it keeps hard-core offenders off the street = not doing it. But detterrence it is not. You or I may be scared of prison, that's why we are decent thinking people and don't offend: scumbags do not think logically like that.
It is a type of fairness - he is fairly horrible to everyone
Whether Paxman should be putting our representatives through it - that is debatable - but our democracy does require the ability to handle this examination
Paxman is a metal tester - he tests everyone and when Farage withstands it - he is allowed to shine - in front of millions of voters (he doesn't have to buy airtime with a pile of filthy cash)
My comment was about Paxman fuckwit. Not the UKIP. I've met Jeremy Paxman in person. He's just as smarmy and arrogant in real life. Keep your personal msg's to yourelf.
@AusOpinion Please watch: "Britain's Entry Into The E.U. Was Based On Deceit" by the Campaign For An Independent Britain. The E.U. is illegal. For further confirmtaion of this please watch "Treason Reported."
@bossendenwoodconvict ... and would you think a report title "Britain A Capitalist Fascist Regime" was going to be unbiased. especilly if it were from the Socialist Worker's Party. Of course not. Why should it be any different with Right Wing propaganda?
@JackRance1910 Because the Campaign For An Independent Britain is a cross party group which has people of different political persuasions in it and has socialist and trade union affiliates. Austin Mitchell (Labour) has spoken at their rallies. The whole Europe debate is not a right/left thing. Tradtional Labourites, Michael Foot, Scargill etc opposed it; they could see where it was going.
@bossendenwoodconvict I accept with all my heart your clarification. And indeed I do not worship the EU and the Left has also reservations about it. Please understand how I might feel seeing some of the stuff Farage puts out. I shall read this organisations material. You have taught me. Still, I don't like Farage.
@bossendenwoodconvict Indeed your having brought this to my attention makes me think that Farage is crazier still. I have always said that the Left is not EU obsessed; some campaigned against it in 1972. But Farage is not the person to put the sensible, thinking view: he just alienates people. One thing is UKIPs right-wing/daft domestic policies which really put people off. That may be a wrong appraisal, but that's how people see it. Not my fault; it's Farage's
@JackRance1910 Farage is very direct, but has mellowed slightly. The only thing I disagree with is his hostility to Belgium, a country which I am very fond of, despite its being the centre of the E.U. As my family ran a small business I'm all for U.K.I.P's domestic and social policies. For your interest I voted Labour Three times, Liberal once, and once for the Tories; then the lightbulb came on; I saw they were all pro European, anti British and did not deserve my vote.
@bossendenwoodconvict The domestic and social policies need much more work and to be better put. Farage is at the "Daily Mail" level of argument which involves making an assumption, finding a scapegoat, then making bold undeliverable "promises." Also they are politically naive because like the "Daily Mail" many of his/its targets are now voters! Cutting public sector workers by 2 million - may be great, but that's an awful lot of votes lost. Politics is more complex.
@JackRance1910 Perhaps we should ask whether a policy is right, not whether it will win votes. I like your more positive comments about C.I.B. As a former postman I recommend C.I.B's material about the E.U.'s privatisation/destruction of the Royal Mail.
@bossendenwoodconvict It seems the Campaign For An Independent Britain put a philosophical/moral argument that it is simply wrong to be in a "club" that controls. This of course is perfectly valid; indeed it is honest. What Farage does is not as effective because he feels he needs to blame Europe for everything (including wind turbines). To do that he is vague and inaccurate claims not supported by evidence. When people see someone do this it puts them off the core idea.
@bossendenwoodconvict I have now read some of the material and argument of the Campaign For An Independent Britain and its supporters.Rather ironically, considering the proposition put here that the EU is a communist inspired dictatorship, they believe we should not controlled by the EU because the EU are capitalist swines, and Scargill et al could never impose Socialism or Communism on the UK if we are in the EU! But overall they put the argument much better than Farage.
Yes I would really like to complain about bias on the BBC. Nigel farage/UKIP is on much too much. He speaks for 5% to 17% (at best) of the British voting population and I find him offensive. He should not be on so much and his being given so much attention is not balanced. Now of course I really don't think this, but my argument is just as credible as some of the claptrap about anti-UKIP bias on the BBC. My argument above was (regarding airtime) without evidence; neither is pro-Farage stance.
16th December: Labour retained the west London parliamentary seat of Feltham and Heston, increasing the party’s share of the vote in the by-election to more than 50%. Labour12,639, Conservative 6,436 LD 1,364 UKIP 1,276. UKIP got just 5.5% of the vote. And you think Farage is doing things correctly? I thought he was the voice of the people? According to you lot here he speaks for the majority? In your dreams. Protest vote is not going to UKIP.
@JackRance1910 Shock news! Labour holds Labour stronghold in midterm by-election whilst Labour are in opposition to an unpopular Conservative party! Move on... nothing to see here.
@revelationmd My point was not to applaud Labour but to point out UKIP's dismal performance. Or at least say that they can't seem to make a breakthrough. So you regard 5.5% as a triumph do you? Feltham was not a Labour stronghold and given its population mix should have been fertile ground for UKIP or at least a springboard. Or it would have been if they didn't have this clown as their leader.
@JackRance1910 LOL... Feltham was not a Labour stronghold? What would you call a seat that has been held by one party for pushing twenty years?
As far as gloating about UKIPs performance. Half a percent between UKIP and LibDems (about 90 votes in total) - nothing to be ashamed of there I'm afraid. Don't kid yourself that UKIP voters think we'll win the next GE. Third place is what we are aiming for. A Con/UKIP coalition would look somewhat different to the current situation.
@revelationmd You really are quite deluded aren't you? Typical sad fringe party saying: a) Oh we're doing much better than we were b) Oh it's the gay/left media all against us!!! My point was not Farage/UKIP should be dismissed because they get piffling amount of votes: but people like him and people here say he represents the majority of us. That's a fib. That's what deluded people always say.
@JackRance1910 You are making all sorts of weird/childish assertions here.
1) Gay / Left media against us: Who said that? I say the BBC has a left wing bias and I'm far from alone in that. That's not the same as saying the whole media is ''against UKIP''. Who mentioned gays?
2) Representing the majority: his EU policies DO represent a majority - though of course, people don't vote on one issue.
You represent a minority of deluded little europers - crying as his dream collapses.
@revelationmd But 5.5% is objectively crap. You've got the face that fact. If he's so damn perfect and right and inspiring and accurate, why don't UKIP do better? You can blame the media (but some papers are with him) but that sounds very much like the Left's bleating on in the 1980s (all the world's against me stuff). No, Farage needs to get his act together and stop preaching to the converted (like you) and address a wider audience.
@uatch Well spotted on the mathematics front. Why don't more people vote for him? I have my views why and so do millions of others - perhaps he'd better look at why if he's a serious politician/activist/prophet.
'Who are our enemies then?' Paxman proves himself to be typical liberal idiot. Farage responds brilliantly with the home insurance point, this of course goes straight over the Liberals thick head.
@djpiccalo100 paxman is a intellectual communist one minute, then he's a liberal idiot (and thick) the next. As for "brilliant point" - YOU may think that but the rest us have our doubts. Whether it's right or wrong that we (87% to 95% of voters) think he can't hack it, it's a reality. If you want to believe he's God's gift, that's your business: what matters is the millions of people who agree/disagree with him and don't vote for his party. Why don't they?
And before anyone says 50 billion is for the term of a parliament. That's not true. UKIP manifesto says (as do the taxpayers alliance) 50 billion ANNUALLY. This must be a correct view as the government is aiming for around 25 billion a year cuts and UKIP and Taxpayers alliance say that is too little.
Farage lovers listen up! Why shouldn't Paxman push Farage on his "budget?" The NET contribution to the EU from the UK in 2009 for example was 3.865 billion Euros (around 4.20 billion pounds). That's a per capita of 62.70 Euros (compared with French people who pay 100.70 euros per head and Germans 107.00). Fair enough, too much you may argue, but saving 4.2 billion is not saving enough for his budget reduction. Doubling the prison population and his Defence increases would increase the defecit.
how can you take paxman seriously these bbc fuckers have been bending and shaping the news for years
no mention of fukishima the biggest nuclear accident in history 3 meltdowns and still the silence is deafening
the editor of bbc news is a chatham house rothschild stooge
no reports of the riots now in libya months after gaddafi's death because the people are beginning to realize assets are being stolen by france,the usa and the uk.
paxman and kirsty wark need to retire if he has any self respect
i thought Paxman was quite fair on this buffoon whose ideas are unsupported and with no real thought. The Defence bit was hilarious, farage had no real answer...
@antiochus66 No, YOU think he does well against other politicians but you don't need convincing. The British people need convincing. Sadly (for UKIP) not many people are convinced and all your blindness,belief and hope cannot make that not true. The UK has lots of people vehemently opposed to the EU, yet UKIP do not get that many votes. Many people hated the Conservative party 1979-1992; but did not vote Labour because Labour were (then) silly/rubbish... like UKIP/Farage is now.
@tdkzero Farage for PM.........But the thick skinned people of the UK will vote for the same party as their parents did. It is time for change but you, the people must really want it.Put up or shut up...think about it.
@spartacusvikinga I do agree that we need change, But I don't want the kind of change that UKIP is advocating. I don't want to put the entire country in the greedy hands of the private sector (they are can't be trusted, as they have proved with the railways, utility companies. There is no way they should be aloud to get there grubby mitts on our schools and hospitals ) and I don't want to pull out of Europe (If we weren't in Europe we would be just an insignificant island..cont
@tdkzero it would be disastrous for our economy) but most of all I hate the racism and xenophobia of UKIP (and no, I don't think the EU is wonderful, I just think we are better off in than out) We don't have an Empire any more, we can't make it alone.Thank god UKIP will never be in power (god help us if they ever are) But yeah,I agree that the people of Britain keep voting for the same people and then act surprised when they end up with the same result.It is time for change, but not you
@spartacusvikinga But they don't vote for the party their parents did - not anymore: things are much more fluid. That's why Blair got in (and Cameron did better). It is because the big parties have realised that you can't always blame others for not getting voted in, but you've got to appear credible. Farage doesn't do that. Labour had the same problem in the 80's under Michael Foot. It's not all about image though - it's about substance and backing up what you say. Farage can't do that either.
@tdkzero What an ignorant post. BNP are for disillusioned Labour voters (same socialist BS, same anti-capitalist BS, same desire for trade union associations). Hence why the BNP campaign in Labour areas - because it's the traditional Labour voter that is attracted to their economically suicidal policies.
@revelationmd But my point was that they are both as racist and hateful as each other, which is something that I notice you don't even bother denying.
@tdkzero ukip are not racist you twat, they have black and asian members and as for xenophobic , yeah so xenophobic is ukip that their leader Nigel is married to a German. -DOH. ( ukipwebmaster on youtube have video from ukips annual conference with young indian girl speaking)
@tdkzero UKIP wants Britain to have a free trade agreement with Europe. It doesn't hate Europe, it will wants to be best of friends but it doesn't wan't to be governed by non elected European ministers.
Xenophobia has nothing to do with UKIP. Xenophobia is more akin to something like Hitler killing the Jews. You have a warped vision of reality.
Furthermore this video is old and you should check out the official UKIP channel for all the latest stuff. 'ukipmedia'
@tdkzero Oh and furthermore I would like you to give me an ounce of proof that UKIP is racist. Its unbelievably Ignorant
Germany and France are the leaders of Europe and every month they take powers and impose them on Britain. Such as: Working Time Directive, Minimum Wage, Paternity Leave, Maternity Leave, Sick pay, Minimum number of Holidays per year.. just some of the rules imposed on British Jobs.
Take your rose tinted sun glasses off and open your eyes to the real world!!!
I would build a prison at the back of Jeremy Paxman's house. Paxman is just naturally argumentative for the sake of it. The man's an intellectual idiot.
@oldproji What!?? He treats ALL politicians like that: the weaker the politician the easier it is for Paxman to be "nasty" or condescending. Farage is an easy target. If he's serious as a politician farage had better shape up - the world is harder that Paxman.
@oldproji "Paxman is just naturally argumentative for the sake of it." I thought that was his job. The "sake," the purpose, one assumes, is to taunt politicians (from any party) and expose the futility/uselessness of their policies. He does it to all parties. The problem is that Farage (like it or not) can come across as very silly indeed and he is perhaps a red rag to a bull for Paxman. John Prescott was similarly taunted by Paxman.
@Freedom92253 YOUR common sense is another person's political rhetoric. Stalin said it was right and common sense to do what he did, so did Hitler - common sense is about things like not trying to breathe under water (provable sense) and not mending live electrical equipment in the bath, not political views.
@Freedom92253 "lazy" is the correct word - and you seem to be here quite a lot. I have a very well paid job and property and good family. You don't know me and I don't know you. Your outburst sums up the Right-wing deluded person much more effectively than I could ever describe. Annoyed at someone daring to question his passion, his love perhaps, there can be no logic, no truth, just a hatred of anyone who questions. You have the big problem if anybody, not me.
@JackRance1910 He wouldn’t behave like that with anyone else, he tried (unsuccessfully) to ridicule Farage, UKIP and their cause, and I don’t like it.
@MouseWarlord All what YOU think - looks a little "cry baby" to me. Paxman is as crass to many others. Don't you think Farage can take it? If he were a real politician, strong and in focus, and knew his stuff then he might very well be able to wipe the floor with Paxman.The trouble is it very easy to make Farage look barmy, he really doesn't help himself.The only reason people here are getting agitated about this clip is that Farage is being questioned in the same style as others.
@JackRance1910 Grow up, of course it's what I bloody think otherwise I wouldn't say it. Farage is the best damn politician alive in this country today, and that is evident by how he DID wipe the floor with Paxman.
@MouseWarlord As I say you must be very devoted to Farage and blind/deaf to think he wiped the floor with Paxman. I don't think Paxman "won" either. It's me and millions of others who need to be convinced not you.
@JackRance1910 You either don't know anything about the real EU, or you're the supporter of an undemocratic, pan-European super-state, I've spent longer delving into the EUs institutions and policies, I know more about it than you do. I used to be pro-EU, then I saw the light, and I can show it to you if you'll drop your attitude and bigotry.
@MouseWarlord The point is that one kind of blind allegiance (say, to the EU) should not be replaced with another. Further the main point here is how to go about putting "anti-EU" views across. Farage cannot do it because he uses the failed techniques of the past. The Left used to think shouting "Maggie out,out,out" was clever - it did nothing. Farage is in essence (as far as voters can see) doing the same.
@JackRance1910 I have no "blind allegiance", Farage doesn't use failed techniques at all, here you are again displaying your ignorance. He simply, using facts, explains what the EU really is.
@MouseWarlord Well that rather sums up Farage's and your problem - you really believe he is right, but others cannot see it (even anti-Euro people). Until you grasp how lame Farage is, UKIP can never make progress. I say it but so are millions of voters. Fact.
@JackRance1910 How is Farage "lame", I won't discus anything with you until you adopt a more mature tone and actually use real points and facts to back up your statements. If you were to have attacked other, weaker UKIP MPs I wouldn't have been completely unsympathetic to what you were saying. But Farage is a brilliant orator, a brilliant politician and he's the one that brought UKIP from being a non-party to the fourth most popular party in Britain, and you can't even explain why you hate him.
@MouseWarlord As I say "lame" is a subjective judgement which must be held by a sizeable majority of voters as well as me. Our view is that he preaches to the converted, rather like the Left used to shout "Thatcher out, out, out" and not really address the detail. Of course mine is just a view but so is yours and it is not you Farage has to convince by his oratory but those who think he is immature and a bit silly. I hate nobody.
@MouseWarlord If he drops his attitude and bigotry? " I know more about it than you do." That is the finest example of hippocracy I've ever see, congratulations.
@darko264 May I suggest you look up "Hypocrisy" (congratulations on the most amusing spelling of hypocrisy I've ever seen by the way), and invest in a dictionary to save yourself further embarrassment. And I happen to know a lot about the EU and it's forefathers, institutions and policies. The money would be found from the £50-60 billion that we waste in the EU every year, and public service cuts and privatisation would grant Britain better quality services without the tax-payer having to pay.
@MouseWarlord Continue to massage your ego and superiority complex please, it makes your replies all the more hilarious.
Why do you think we don't leave the E.U then? It's obvious, because we get several times over what we put into the E.U because it was design to have ECONOMIC BENIFITS.
(Part 8) @darko264 I am British, in Britain we give the EU 45 million pounds a day, it amounts to an average of 50 billion a year, double the amount of money saved on public spending cuts here, and what do we get for it? Nothing, we'd make far more money if we left, we'd have more of our own money to spend as we wish, we'd have our democracy back, and we could trade with anyone, not just Europe, it’s like that for most members, that's the real face of the EU today.
@darko264 (Part 7) And as the Commission continues to buy government bonds, it not only wants to double the bailout fund, and even increase the scope of the bailout fund, so it can continue to buy up its own debt. Portugal goes up next for bailout with debts of up to 325% of GDP, then Spain which will require funds of up to 7x that of Ireland, and once that's done, the money's gone, there won't be anymore, the fund has been bled dry. And 90% of British exports are not involved in the EU.

The problem with the electorate is that they all say they believe in democracy and then the vast majority fall for the trap of voting for one of the three main parties, which, when it come to the major issues, all have virtually identical policies. In short, you can have democracy as long as you choose a pro-EU, pro-mass immigration, pro-big government, interventionist government. It's a bit like playing cards with a stacked deck - you always end up with the card the dealer wanted you to have!

I think hes referring to the counntless call centre kind of services, over manufacture jobs, its no secret the UK has gone mad on the service industry and its made us very frail.
animesis 3 days ago
@animesis Call centers, such as ones run by banks, are not in the public - no, he's quite clearly here referring to the people working in schools, the NHS, sweeping roads, etc.
I don't disagree we should look at staffing levels, but to actually consider those who collect rubbish as 'not doing a real job' or that teachers contribute nothing to society displays a high level of head-in-own-arse ignorance of reality which UKIP supporters seem to have in abundance.

I get the feeling by use of the word "quangos" (?) he means less important jobs, rather than NHS staff. Im not sure what jobs are unreal though. Though on personal reflection my cousin has autism yet it takes something like 3 special helpers at school daily, now I agree he needs help but it seems a bit excessive. Its all a mess, the welfare state has been truely messed up.
I would like to see him name the unreal jobs though, you have a point, just who is he talking about.

@JackRance1910 Farage is very direct, but has mellowed slightly.

As my family ran a small business I'm all for U.K.I.P's domestic and social policies. For your interest I voted Labour Three times, Liberal once, and once for the Tories; then the lightbulb came on; I saw they were all pro European, anti British and did not deserve my vote.
bossendenwoodconvict 1 month ago
@bossendenwoodconvict The domestic and social policies need much more work and to be better put. Farage is at the "Daily Mail" level of argument which involves making an assumption, finding a scapegoat, then making bold undeliverable "promises." Also they are politically naive because like the "Daily Mail" many of his/its targets are now voters! Cutting public sector workers by 2 million - may be great, but that's an awful lot of votes lost. Politics is more complex.

@bossendenwoodconvict It seems the Campaign For An Independent Britain put a philosophical/moral argument that it is simply wrong to be in a "club" that controls. This of course is perfectly valid; indeed it is honest. What Farage does is not as effective because he feels he needs to blame Europe for everything (including wind turbines). To do that he is vague and inaccurate claims not supported by evidence. When people see someone do this it puts them off the core idea.
JackRance1910 1 month ago
@bossendenwoodconvict I have now read some of the material and argument of the Campaign For An Independent Britain and its supporters.Rather ironically, considering the proposition put here that the EU is a communist inspired dictatorship, they believe we should not controlled by the EU because the EU are capitalist swines, and Scargill et al could never impose Socialism or Communism on the UK if we are in the EU! But overall they put the argument much better than Farage.

He should not be on so much and his being given so much attention is not balanced. Now of course I really don't think this, but my argument is just as credible as some of the claptrap about anti-UKIP bias on the BBC. My argument above was (regarding airtime) without evidence; neither is pro-Farage stance.

As far as gloating about UKIPs performance. Half a percent between UKIP and LibDems (about 90 votes in total) - nothing to be ashamed of there I'm afraid.

Farage lovers listen up! Why shouldn't Paxman push Farage on his "budget?" The NET contribution to the EU from the UK in 2009 for example was 3.865 billion Euros (around 4.20 billion pounds). That's a per capita of 62.70 Euros (compared with French people who pay 100.70 euros per head and Germans 107.00). Fair enough, too much you may argue, but saving 4.2 billion is not saving enough for his budget reduction. Doubling the prison population and his Defence increases would increase the defecit.

@revelationmd But my point was that they are both as racist and hateful as each other, which is something that I notice you don't even bother denying.

@tdkzero Yeah, it wasn't really worthy of comment to be honest. Calling 'racist' to your political enemies is so 'last year'.

@tdkzero UKIP wants Britain to have a free trade agreement with Europe. It doesn't hate Europe, it will wants to be best of friends but it doesn't wan't to be governed by non elected European ministers.
Xenophobia has nothing to do with UKIP. Xenophobia is more akin to something like Hitler killing the Jews. You have a warped vision of reality.
Furthermore this video is old and you should check out the official UKIP channel for all the latest stuff. 'ukipmedia'

@tdkzero Oh and furthermore I would like you to give me an ounce of proof that UKIP is racist. Its unbelievably Ignorant
Germany and France are the leaders of Europe and every month they take powers and impose them on Britain. Such as: Working Time Directive, Minimum Wage, Paternity Leave, Maternity Leave, Sick pay, Minimum number of Holidays per year.. just some of the rules imposed on British Jobs.
Take your rose tinted sun glasses off and open your eyes to the real world!!!

I would build a prison at the back of Jeremy Paxman's house. Paxman is just naturally argumentative for the sake of it. The man's an intellectual idiot.

@oldproji What!?? He treats ALL politicians like that: the weaker the politician the easier it is for Paxman to be "nasty" or condescending. Farage is an easy target. If he's serious as a politician farage had better shape up - the world is harder that Paxman.

@oldproji "Paxman is just naturally argumentative for the sake of it." I thought that was his job. The "sake," the purpose, one assumes, is to taunt politicians (from any party) and expose the futility/uselessness of their policies. He does it to all parties. The problem is that Farage (like it or not) can come across as very silly indeed and he is perhaps a red rag to a bull for Paxman. John Prescott was similarly taunted by Paxman.

So I'm guessing there is no legitimate argument against UKIP then? Because all this was was simply Paxman wasting time asking about invading Iran.

@Freedom92253 YOUR common sense is another person's political rhetoric. Stalin said it was right and common sense to do what he did, so did Hitler - common sense is about things like not trying to breathe under water (provable sense) and not mending live electrical equipment in the bath, not political views.

@Freedom92253 "lazy" is the correct word - and you seem to be here quite a lot. I have a very well paid job and property and good family. You don't know me and I don't know you. Your outburst sums up the Right-wing deluded person much more effectively than I could ever describe. Annoyed at someone daring to question his passion, his love perhaps, there can be no logic, no truth, just a hatred of anyone who questions. You have the big problem if anybody, not me.

@JackRance1910 He wouldn’t behave like that with anyone else, he tried (unsuccessfully) to ridicule Farage, UKIP and their cause, and I don’t like it.

@MouseWarlord All what YOU think - looks a little "cry baby" to me. Paxman is as crass to many others. Don't you think Farage can take it? If he were a real politician, strong and in focus, and knew his stuff then he might very well be able to wipe the floor with Paxman.The trouble is it very easy to make Farage look barmy, he really doesn't help himself.The only reason people here are getting agitated about this clip is that Farage is being questioned in the same style as others.
JackRance1910 1 month ago
@JackRance1910 Grow up, of course it's what I bloody think otherwise I wouldn't say it. Farage is the best damn politician alive in this country today, and that is evident by how he DID wipe the floor with Paxman.
MouseWarlord 1 month ago
@MouseWarlord As I say you must be very devoted to Farage and blind/deaf to think he wiped the floor with Paxman. I don't think Paxman "won" either. It's me and millions of others who need to be convinced not you.

@JackRance1910 You either don't know anything about the real EU, or you're the supporter of an undemocratic, pan-European super-state, I've spent longer delving into the EUs institutions and policies, I know more about it than you do. I used to be pro-EU, then I saw the light, and I can show it to you if you'll drop your attitude and bigotry.

@MouseWarlord The point is that one kind of blind allegiance (say, to the EU) should not be replaced with another. Further the main point here is how to go about putting "anti-EU" views across. Farage cannot do it because he uses the failed techniques of the past. The Left used to think shouting "Maggie out,out,out" was clever - it did nothing. Farage is in essence (as far as voters can see) doing the same.
JackRance1910 1 month ago
@JackRance1910 I have no "blind allegiance", Farage doesn't use failed techniques at all, here you are again displaying your ignorance. He simply, using facts, explains what the EU really is.
MouseWarlord 1 month ago
@MouseWarlord Well that rather sums up Farage's and your problem - you really believe he is right, but others cannot see it (even anti-Euro people). Until you grasp how lame Farage is, UKIP can never make progress. I say it but so are millions of voters. Fact.
JackRance1910 3 weeks ago
@JackRance1910 How is Farage "lame", I won't discus anything with you until you adopt a more mature tone and actually use real points and facts to back up your statements. If you were to have attacked other, weaker UKIP MPs I wouldn't have been completely unsympathetic to what you were saying. But Farage is a brilliant orator, a brilliant politician and he's the one that brought UKIP from being a non-party to the fourth most popular party in Britain, and you can't even explain why you hate him.
MouseWarlord 3 weeks ago
@MouseWarlord As I say "lame" is a subjective judgement which must be held by a sizeable majority of voters as well as me. Our view is that he preaches to the converted, rather like the Left used to shout "Thatcher out, out, out" and not really address the detail. Of course mine is just a view but so is yours and it is not you Farage has to convince by his oratory but those who think he is immature and a bit silly. I hate nobody.

@darko264 May I suggest you look up "Hypocrisy" (congratulations on the most amusing spelling of hypocrisy I've ever seen by the way), and invest in a dictionary to save yourself further embarrassment. And I happen to know a lot about the EU and it's forefathers, institutions and policies. The money would be found from the £50-60 billion that we waste in the EU every year, and public service cuts and privatisation would grant Britain better quality services without the tax-payer having to pay.

@MouseWarlord Continue to massage your ego and superiority complex please, it makes your replies all the more hilarious.
Why do you think we don't leave the E.U then? It's obvious, because we get several times over what we put into the E.U because it was design to have ECONOMIC BENIFITS.
darko264 3 weeks ago
(Part 8) @darko264 I am British, in Britain we give the EU 45 million pounds a day, it amounts to an average of 50 billion a year, double the amount of money saved on public spending cuts here, and what do we get for it? Nothing, we'd make far more money if we left, we'd have more of our own money to spend as we wish, we'd have our democracy back, and we could trade with anyone, not just Europe, it’s like that for most members, that's the real face of the EU today.

@darko264 (Part 7) And as the Commission continues to buy government bonds, it not only wants to double the bailout fund, and even increase the scope of the bailout fund, so it can continue to buy up its own debt. Portugal goes up next for bailout with debts of up to 325% of GDP, then Spain which will require funds of up to 7x that of Ireland, and once that's done, the money's gone, there won't be anymore, the fund has been bled dry. And 90% of British exports are not involved in the EU.
