UKIP leader Nigel Farage MEP - FOX NEWS America Oct 2011

[chris77777777ify]

IMF EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK & now china. What the heck is going on.

I smell a great depression.

Devolution be4 evolution.

The markets will see a massive sell off in 2012. With only large cap stocks holding out a near rock bottom

[jazcash]

@TheSpeckofdust If that were true, he'd be a BNP member and not the leader of a party with many different views. Just because the BNP is more similar to UKIP than any other party doesn't mean that they're at all the same. It's just that they share similar views on immigration.

You're either a troll or just an idiot.

[kramnodd9]

Farage is a hero!

[PolishAmericanDC]

Nigel Farage voice is real he is the best speaker of the EU Parlament

[staponsa1]

As much as I like Nigel he should not give interviews to joke stations like fox, he's too intelligent and serious for this low brow shit

[Strange0ne]

@staponsa1 he should speak on any platform where he can challenge the mainstream ideology. all of us should do the same!

[zethos100]

has nigel farages voice been autotuned?

[Lurker1979]

Glad to see Mr. Farage on here in the USA.

[AdamsSeed]

Iceland. <3

[yumorules]

This guy is bang on the money.The Europe skeptics are now being proved right.Disband the EU.

[bicnarok]

@Crozzling The us helped demolish the euro because it was a threat to the US dollar as a reserve currency. Goldman and Sachs started it off with greece.

[warspyte]

Wow that was powerful stuff! Mr Farage is one of a handful of politicians that uses a revolutionary new concept in politics called THE TRUTH! Seriously folks, how can you now not vote for anyone but UKIP after all three of the (so called) main parties imposed a 3 line whip on their MPs to deprive the people of a referendum on the EU!

[Tommyfungun]

I haven't heard the Euro zone ONCE mention the USA....but then again the Yanks do make them selves feel more important than they actually are.

[sikajaperkele]

When it all comes crumbling down, i bet MR Farage is going to have a blast telling them "I told you so"

[barrymx5]

Spot on. Loved the description of Cameron as spineless And Nigel did not mince his words on Obama either.

[jepkratz]

The spoiled by loose EU monetary policy Greeks must be allowed to find their own level free of the Euro lest they be trapped in a currency debtors prison their economy will never climb out of. There is no indication yet that the Greek people see the need for their govt spending to be in balance with their GDP. Only by default free of the Euro and unable to borrow or tax further, will runaway socialist government spending be exposed for what it is - bankrupt.

[DarylJCheetham]

Good show Farage, fuck fox news though.

[shotsky94]

This guy is a radical right-wing xenophobe

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 Nigel Farage a xenophobe??

[shotsky94]

@Adam1986London Yes. He's scared of anyone that comes outside Britain

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 your statement is absolutely untrue and not based on any sort facts. Nigel Farage is an advocate and a champion of European nation states and against big government, the United States of Europe. A federal government for Europe is simply wrong and for a lot European countries completely unconstitutional. When Nigel Farage criticises European open border policy it has nothing to with lack of respect or unfounded fear for people of a different cultural or ethnic background.

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 ...just to finish my point, it is a very simple and obvious fact that a wealthy country with open borders and no control over immigration will attract people from poorer countries. This cannot be sustainable. I am a libertarian and would love to live in a world where people can come and go as they please but when there is a system in place, the welfare state, it is not possible to let people come in when there is an expensive system that is vulnerable to abuse.

[shotsky94]

@Adam1986London Lies. lies. lies. farage is a political opportunist.. if there was no eu, he'd find something else to hark about

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 i doubt that he would have left a highly paid job as a trader to simply complain for the sake of complaining. if you truly believe that his concerns about the EU are not legitimate then I believe we have very strong ideological differences. I strongly reject the idea of a federal europe run by former communists and left wing career politicians. Nigel's concern for the casual dismissal of the democratic process however should not depend on which side of the politician spectrum you are

[shotsky94]

@Adam1986London He is an opportunist hack. Nothing more than a radical demagogue who has legions of idiots like you fooled that there is going to be some sort of federal europe. Dont be an idiot. This is such BS. ANy country can leave the EU anytime it wants.

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 the EU is not really that different to the US. the cost of this huge government far outweighs the benefits. it is very obvious that is a political project for career politicians who could never hold on to a highly paid job in the private sector. it is a waste of tax money to start setting standards for the curvature of cucumbers etc. leaving the EU is not simple at all even though you so claim. lastly, no need to call me an idiot. I've treated you with nothing but respect.

[shotsky94]

@Adam1986London i apologize for the name-calling, but you have to understand that the eu and the common currency has resulted in free trade amongst european partners which has increased the wealth of all european nations. there is no "federal europe" conspiracy.

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 I agree with the EU as a free trade agreement but it is the political project that I cannot support. I would not go as far as calling the political project a "federal europe conspiracy" but simply because it is done out in the open. it is not a conspiracy but a passion project for people who lean heavily in favour of big corporate subsidies and government handouts. it's not about freeing the markets but controlling them. it is not a capitalist project but a corporatist one.

[shotsky94]

@Adam1986London Political project is neccessary for the common currency to work. Look at what's happening in greece atm. If there eu had some more powers when greece was accumulating all this debt, then they could have acted and show greece the exit door if they didnt start enacting reforms earlier.....If it was such a corporate banking project, why would they be trying to implement a financial transaction tax...

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 that's the whole problem, common currency. i think it was totally unnecessary to begin with and one size never fits all especially when you have countries as different as Germany and Greece. Less integration is the only long term cure, not more big government. Also, I never said it was a corporate banking project, I simply said it was all based on corporatist ideology as opposed to capitalist ideology. subsidising failing businesses is wrong and it never fixes fundamental problems.

[shotsky94]

@Adam1986London There's nothing fundamentally wrong with a common currency. It should have some mechanism for showing countries the exit door when they are irresponsible. Whether Greece should have joined the euro is debatable. But, what I do know is that the EU has resulted in much more good than harm, and people like Farage like to completely gloss out the successes. Unemployment has gone down for countries in the eu compared to pre-eu. Living standards have risen,....

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 i think the common currency is and always was fundamentally wrong. you can't force economies that are completely different into one currency. it doesn't work and this is what we are seeing now. with regard to prosperity and the success of EU, this was never real. reckless spending, big government and an unrealistic proportion of new jobs being created in the public sector is not sustainable and cannot be considered real economic growth. and now its all collapsing...

[shotsky94]

@Adam1986London Countries were not "forced" into the single currency. They decided to go in at their own free will. That's the sort of spin you and other anti-eu ppl like to use. Nobody was forced into anything. To say that the EU has been responsible for increasing public sector growth, etc is just naive.

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 i never said countries were forced into the euro currency, it certainly was the free will of career politicians who were excited about the whole EU buzz. in some cases i would argue, when and where referendums were held, it was a decision of misinformed people. i did not suggest that EU bullied countries into accepting the single currency even though in the case of United Kingdom they certainly tried to lure us in.

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 as per your comment about it being naive to suggest that EU played a role in public sector growth, i would argue that increased regulation will result in creation of government departments and other regulatory bodies that would otherwise be completely unnecessary. it also increases the amount of administrative staff required to run the operations of already existing departments. when you have more regulations to comply with you will need more government to supervise and enforce them

[shotsky94]

@Adam1986London But you made it seem that the EU has been a major contributing factor to the rise in public sector employees and you tried to link that with the increase in national debts and budget deficits...very dishonest...

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 no, its not dishonest at all. i don't see that i was contradicting myself at all. of course I am saying that the EU has been a major contributing factor in the huge expansion of the public sector. for governments to facilitate the big european beast they have had to employ more people in jobs that do not create wealth and prosperity. also, EU programs are extremely wasteful and open border policy is not smart when you have huge benefit programs.

[Adam1986London]

@shotsky94 to add to my previous comment, i am not suggesting that people from poorer countries come to the UK simply to live on benefits. what i am suggesting however is that a lot of them are employed in low paid jobs that allow them to claim benefits while working. their contribution to the tax bill is minimal but their combined cost is high. and just to be clear, I am not criticising these people, i am criticising the system that allows this madness.

[chatteyj]

@shotsky94 to say there's nothing fundamentally wrong with a common currency is like saying there's nothing fundamentally wrong with having one fish tank for piranas and goldfish

[shotsky94]

@chatteyj Bullshit!!!

[chatteyj]

@shotsky94 Wrong, as current events show, open your eyes.

[shotsky94]

@chatteyj Current events show that if fiscal union had been put into the structure of the eu as well as the monetary union, these problems would have been seen much earlier and could have easily been avoided.

[chatteyj]

@shotsky94 yeah well thank god that didn't happen

[dmax631]

VOTE UKIP

[darkstateirc]

I'm glad young people of the U.K have had a taste of the Tories and what they do to Britain,They have had it easy really with Labour, not many disruptions as in strikes and riots.

There was a bit of a uproar with the poll tax having everyone in the family having to pay but that soon got overturned.

I can remember under thatcher(Torie) this exact same problem,rioting,striking etc,Britain was bleak.

Back then though,one good thing was that University was free for everyone.

I too changed to UKIP

[shotsky94]

@darkstateirc UKIP is a right-wing party

[darkstateirc]

@shotsky94 What?

Hey any politician who says they want out of the EU, and to give the 80% of my money that the EU is sucking out of my local authority back to the local authority gets my vote.

I want my local town hall to spend that 80% of local money on repairing my local schools and businesses.

I want the borders closed for the time being so we can make this country a little healthier,by all means bring in the well educated because every country needs new talent.

[shotsky94]

@darkstateirc Then vote for the BNP. Seems like a nice fit

[darkstateirc]

@shotsky94 Screw that,I am not a racist ,never will be in the future,I'm all about community,looking after my local area and the people who live there.

If your council has to give up 80% of the laws/money to a foreign country so they can control you ,surely you can see that's wrong? If not ,maybe the BNP Is a good fit for you?

[thecandidbull]

Nigel Farage&The Judge...What a team..Add Ron Paul and we could have some team here!

[chemik87PL]

People as Nigel Farge (UK)...Ron Paul (USA).....Daniel Hannan(UK)....Janusz Korwin Mikke (POLAND) and he's views is future...When UE collapse and this seak debt system was western country have. People above and he's idea's lead world to normal sosciety system where freedom and truth is a normal things.

Let the freedom ring...

Greetings from Poland to supporters Mr. Farage...

[jehal1978]

@chemik87PL

you probably already know this guy but another great man that knows what this is all about is stefan molyneux(US)

ill check out Janusz Korwin then. i'd not heard about him before

cheers

[zbyszanna]

Regards from Poland. There is a strong pro EU propaganda going on in Poland but not all of us want EU. There still are people who don't want new Socialist Union and we are fighting for more awareness among people. Sir Farage, there are many people in Poland who look at you with hope and pride.

[RonPaulSwede]

Hahaha, good job Judge and Mr. Farage!

[Csandelands]

Speaking to America takes us to a whole other level. If we can show the US that the EU and the Euro is doomed, that will do no end of good for our cause.

[SydneySteve85]

Nigel Farage is a true British hero. It takes more than a plane crash to stop Farage!!!!!!

[Yazoo2564]

A revolution isn't too far away in quite a few countries at the moment. Who would have thought in our lifetime we'd see this total mess. All thanks to the greedy, self serving idiots at the top. Cheers!

[jepkratz]

@Yazoo2564 You are right about the revolution, but let's hope for a relatively bloodless one. Just how did Europe slide from a trade union into an un-elected totalitarian socialist bureautocracy? The current EU parliament is a sham rubber stamp body. Unless the common wisdom of the people can choose and/or change their EU commission leadership at the ballot box the only alternative is insurrection when it gets bad enough.

[stratosjoebar]

@Crozzling ye, i thought it was the opposite...as US is ready to fail bigtime!

anyway, that is for domestic use i think....for the dam american....

[Sydanion]

@Crozzling Yeah I didnt notice that so far x)

[dezldummi]

Since the POTUS no longer has to be a natural born citizen I think Nigel should come to the US, set up to the plate and run in 2012.... we need a Nigel here, would be a great 2nd with Ron Paul as well

[makzmakz]

Nice with Nigel on Freedom Watch!!!

[poacher247]

well said nigel

[rabbitspliff]

What keeps the US together is a nationalism on par with Euro-nationalism (although that they probably don't have such state-to-state differences as the EU does probably helps too). It would be great to see both the EU and US break up and recognise the sovereignty of each member state.

[rabbitspliff]

What I am always amused by is how politically right-wing people in the USA can be, whilst having the political union and the political hierarchy and suppression of democracy that comes with it, courtesy of the Federal government. Oh, and the single currency that, thanks to Nixon dropping the gold standard, is now a fiat currency.

[Teranex]

Lol FOX news epic fail. Your map of EU members is incorrect :D. Russia today atleast gets the map right.

[2001perseus]

@Teranex Makes you think when we have arrived at the point when we have to rely on a Russian station for uncensored news coverage does'nt it?

[Teranex]

@2001perseus I will say it like this, do you want to blame the East, watch the western news, wanna blame the West, watch the eastern news. Trough for some reason FOX and RT are the only TV stations really willing to interview Farge (Give him screen time), even trough i did see him on other TV stations (some finish one, numerous German, etc.). Other then that, FOX was never known for its in depth research into a topic.

[2001perseus]

@Teranex There is some truth in that. RT is happy to embarass the west with the topics the western media wants kept off the news agenda and vice versa. Totally agree with you on Fox, it's sometimes hard to believe the judge there works for the same employer as Bill O Reilly and Sean Hannity. Sky news seems to be happy to let Nigel say his piece but you are right, most of the other channels seem to get a dizzy spell at the mention of his name.

[0muffins0]

@2001perseus RT > BBC these days.

[2001perseus]

@0muffins0 Maybe the BBC of 30 years ago, not so sure about the BBC of today.

[0muffins0]

@2001perseus You miss-read the ">" I think.

[2001perseus]

@0muffins0 Indeed I did, a silly error on my part.

[0muffins0]

@Teranex lol They're not always up to speed over there.

[Rader55]

I love Farage, but I hate Fox News :/

[BabelOn4infinity]

@Rader55 It's Fox Business Network(FBN). Stossel and Freedom Watch are the only good shows on there.

[MaxCandor]

Nobody is too big to fail!

NOBODY...

It is legalized plunder when your money is hard earned by you, and used to pay for things that you would wish not to pay for, especially if you understood the ramifications.

The corrupt cartels of the world are falling like a house of cards, because the people are realizing that socialization, i.e. collectivism has historically always failed. It only benefits those operating it, and stops operating when it runs out of other peoples money, energy and patience

[MaxCandor]

Awesome! I've been viewing Nigel from the states and wishing that America would hear what is really going on in the rest of the world, Thanks Nigel and thanks Judge Nap.

America needs to know what is going on...

A YTchannel aimed at American viewing is the right way to go, Thanks UKIP!

[2001perseus]

@MaxCandor Nigel is a bit to the right for me but he's telling it like it is. Say no to the Amero, Say no to a North American Union. This is where it goes.

[MoleseyTimes]

Back on topic - check: the caption at 2.16 "Nigel works to increase awareness of EU activities" ... who says the Americans can't do understatement!

He works to destroy it.

[MoleseyTimes]

Off topic - just realised why Farage always looks so familiar ... he looks like 'Nono' from the Ulysses 31 cartoon in the 80's !

[Geostrategic1]

Nigel totally grasps sound financial matters, since he ran a London commodity trading firm. In terms of Van Rumputz, Bolshevik Barroso and the rest of the crooked totalitarian EUROrats, the most they traded may have been soccer cards as kids, maybe....

[NathanJosephCole]

'Merica!

[hendo19742]

YES, EXPOSE THE BANKSTERS!

[MetalHeadViking]

Great interview.

[pugilistofpower]

Always great to hear from you, Nigel.

It's criminal that you're not the PM.

[supermurloc64]

Is Nigel a terminator? hehe just the robotic like voice, its probably the microphone reception. Well Nigel does have balls of steel.

[TheHemsworthboy]

love nigel hate fox news....

[CelticReject]

Nigel Farage is the only high profile politician who has the balls to talk the talk and walk the walk. This man talks sense. The truth and the reality of the situation is laid plain whenever I hear him talk. It's not easy to listen to, because the truth hurts, and the desperation of the situation is quite dire. Nevertheless, I am so glad that Mr Farage keeps up the pressure on the criminals in the EU. I voted UKIP in the last election and I continue to support this man live in reality. Thank you

[I85PIES]

@CelticReject

Are you a member of UKIP?  If not please consider joining.

[CelticReject]

@I85PIES It would be an honor to join.

[MrFreeLibertarian]

@CelticReject Don't forget about Daniel Hannan.

[MrAthenian89]

Nigel Farage is one of the few politicians in the world who tell the truth!

[WahresDeutschland]

@MrAthenian89 ...thats probably why his plane was crashed. They tried to get rid of him. Sabotage?!

[ludicer]

urghh fox news -_-

[HuwReesMusic]

@ludicer You can be sure that they are still fairer than the BBC...

[ExtremeBogom]

@HuwReesMusic

BBC isn't perfect and I'm happy to criticise it, but Fox news being fairer than the BBC? You're having a laugh aren't you?

No broadcaster in their right mind would hire most of the Fox employees.

The term unprofessional breaks new heights on that channel.

[HuwReesMusic]

@ExtremeBogom Give me unprofessional over extreme left-wing bias anyday...

[ExtremeBogom]

@HuwReesMusic

Yes, and Fox news is of course completely Impartial...

There is no such thing as an unbiased news source, we all know that.

But if you want to follow a "news" corp like that, then good luck to you.

[HuwReesMusic]

@ExtremeBogom That's not what I implied.

[ExtremeBogom]

@HuwReesMusic

What are you're implications then?

You gave me the impression you would rather watch fox news? Could have fooled me...

Also, define "extreme left-wing" for me.

This'll be good.

[HuwReesMusic]

@ExtremeBogom They will always side with the liberal perspective on all issues e.g. always have more pro-EU interviewees/panelists, in this context.

[HuwReesMusic]

Btw, you're very agressive - there's really no need for it.

[ExtremeBogom]

@HuwReesMusic

But you must have justification for you're views. I asked you the question because I'm in need of clarification. What's wrong with that?

Believe it or not, some people like things to be clear, and out in the open.

If you don't want to answer the questions then forget it.

[northwesten]

@HuwReesMusic That is soooo wrong on many levels! Lets be honest here BBC sucks and Foxs is worse. Foxs rep across the world says it self they are unreliable in there news feed and info... Foxs has their own interest and not the viewers.... I mean you will find so many video that will poke a lot of holes in there news when it comes to politics...

[WhollyMowly]

@northwesten Fox's Ayn Rand, Judge Naploitano's show Freedom Watch seems to be a decent, honest, conscientous, thorough and respectable show though. The only one who consistently gives good coverage of Ron Paul and represents sound libertarianism. While O'Reilly et al are cretins, Napolitano is a beacon of intellectualism on a channel which generally deplores intelligent analysis.
