BBC The Record Europe - UKIP John Whittaker MEP

[scrembo]

Socialism and the politic of the collective are alien to Europe and its cultures, and should have stopped with Hitler! The bigger the government and control structure the more inhumane, tyranical and unfitting it is. European nations have cultures thousands of years old, we are not like the American colonies merely hundreds of years old where a union makes sense. We will not give up our sovereignty without a fight. UKIP or BNP, I don't care who does it, the principle is what matters.

[bachelorer]

Oh god! here are writing intelligent people. lol. The EU is might not perfect BUT Britain gets a lot of possibilities and advantages and you are on moaning. Shame on England, you are Europeans. Every countries every culture (which are different and shall always being different) on this subcontinent, is build by European basics of values. Yeeaaaa the UK shall get out of OUR union and should become a little colony of America (what it already is in some ways)!

[ukipmedia]

Can you name any of these benefits you are talking about?

[kerhk]

the ability to retire from a grey little island to a sunnier little island in the med

[EurocratsComeNotHere]

Funilly enough I dont like the idea of forking out billions of £s for that.

@ukipmedia hey are you a representitive of ukip? could i ask some questions quickly before the election... i'm split between lib-dem/ukip... i don't like lib dem policy on europe although they promise referenda on any further changes in relationship to and constituion of europe and i question their abandonment of nuclear deterent (even though they say they will have defence review etc... but i do like their policy on immigration - only they say they will allow those allready here to stay, and u?

[rugbyboy198127]

labour, after12years admit their incompitence on immigration,saying they have new system for counting people on the way out of the country! pandering to public alarm on immigration fostered in part by ugly stuff such as bnp etc, acting tough on immigration, they say that those whom they have failed to deport or legalise in last12years will be processed and deported now, but this is wholly unfair, they are now settled, have kids in schools etc, need have amnesty, then address immigration properly

Bachelorer:

You know when you meet people on holiday and you ask them where they are from, do they ever say 'i'm a European' or 'I'm from Europe'

[mez6117]

I tell you what, you can keep all these so called advanages that britain get, and I take back my freedom.

and we dont share the same basic values, because most of europe is happy to be ruled by unelected as*hole, whereas in britain we like to elect the as*holes who try and rule us (the labour party).

and it isnt OUR union, its THERE (commission) union.

[rugbyboy198127]

@bachelorer the european union in its present guise is NOT representitive of as you say 'european values/culture' - it is wholly undemocratic, totally beurocratic and more akin to the soviet union than any 'european' form of government (by which i assume you refer to the principles of modern western democracy whether they be constitutional or republican), haha your last words reveal your true nature, ok YOU can have YOUR union, don't expect us to come riding in on a white horse this time mate...

[bachelorer]

Which radical powers have to come again to destroy this project of peace? Are you blind? This is a situation which is not as a matter of course! Every intelligent and reasonably British is pro EU. Please get out and you will see whats happen. Now you can disrupt me. Kind regards

[britishfirstandlast]

How dare they place a poor U.K.I.P man in front of the E.U. flag.

[sidensvans54]

This Eu is a Disaster..

A rich politicians club..

[Independence4Britain]

Yes, that's exactly why the politicians in Romania and Bulgaria support it - politicians in those countries only get about 1/20 of what the Euro MPs do.

[Kypros]

Let's have a British government for the British worker - vote UKIP and say NO to the EU!

[condemned75]

Got my vote.

[Pwecko]

The truth is repeated several times at the end of the video 'You can't have control and still be in the European Union'. That applies not just to immigration but to everything. That's why we must leave as soon as possible.

[crimsoncoin]

The ripple effect on massive unemployment and the training issues for new employment? Its become the responsibility for the individual to seek work elsewhere or else resort to petty benefits for substainance. We arnt slaves to industry, but to benefit we slave for a proper pay-

[agfigueroaa]

U r assuming that the job offer remains the same, but unfortunately, it is not true. companies move abroad seeking cheaper labour. Countries start importing products that were manufacture domestically. Yes, u can move, but it requires a decline in the standard of living. The current set-up transfer the wealth of the middle-class to the rich.
