Transcript:

Last September I went to Croatia. I wanted to find out whether a proper national debate is going on; whether there was afair campaign.

What did I find? I found that the EU is doing everything it can to bribe the poitical class in Croatia - doing it quite well, really, too. Already the EU has given 320 million euros to Croatia in what is called pre-accession aid. The EU has just spent a million euros on a blatant propaganda advertising campaign, telling Croatia that the EU is their only hope.

Cleverly, you've even given jobs to Croatians - highly paid jobs to Croatians in the European Parliament and in the European Commission just to show them how well off they'll be - the ruling class will be - if they join, and you've got EU flags flying on official buildings all over the country to give the impression that it's a done deal.

You've got some willing helpers, because the old Communists are still there in Croatia, they still hold all the positions of power and they will all become personally enormously wealthy if Croatia joins the European Union.

And there is an even more sinister side to this, because there is not a free press in Croatia. There is no national debate going on at all. Indeed a prize has been offered - 10,000 kunas have been offered if anybody can find an article in any Croatian newspaper suggesting that joining isn't the right thing to do.

The whole campaign is bent, corrupt and distorted. We've seen this before from the European Union, but I think it's happening on a scale in Croatia that is worse than I've seen before.

This country has for nearly a thousand years sought independence. And for 20 years they've had independence - they got out of the failed political experiment that was Yugoslavia - and if they vote to join the European Union, they're voting to rejoin a new Yugoslavia - a failing political experiment that will implode.

I hope there is, in the last month or two a debate in Croatia. Sadly, I doubt it.

We Croatians were cursed by our own King Zvonimir, never to have peace, prosperity and our own ruler for 1000 years. We got another 90years to endure, then the curse will be over...

He described the situation remarkably accurately.

ma ja ne znam sta je sa ovim Hrvatima, preziru Srbe i nas jezik, za njih je bruka da pricaju srpski jer misle da smo mi 'divljaci', itd... dobro neki od nas i jesu ali isto kao u svakoj drzavi - vise ima budala neko pametnih. ali bre vi ste Hrvati ne neki tamo Austrijanci ili vec sta. jebo vas zapad, vi ste na balkanu i tako ce uvek biti. Bas da vidim kako ce da vam bude u EU, jedva cekam. Pamet u glavu braco, jer mi smo svi nasi to se zna. Pozdrav iz Srbije, Nigel - samo napred

[stanislavprusac]

Nigel Farage je predsjednik "UK Independence Party"-desne populističke stranke, nerelevantne u UK, cilj joj je odcjepljenje UK od EU

Njegovo licemjerje se vidi po pitanju Škotske koja traži referendumsko otcijepljenje od UK.

S jedne strane zagovara nezavisne države a to isto pravo brani u UK Škotskoj (pripojena nedemokratski 1707)

On je političar koji gura interese Engleske, a ne nikako Hrvatske koji su rijetko kada sukladni RH.

Domoljubnim hrvatima ovo je argument da RH treba ući u EU!
