"Germany is dominating Europe"

Pulling the strings - Nigel Farage says political puppets are being put into place across the Euro zone.

Transcript of speech:

"Here we are on the edge of a financial and social disaster and in the room today we have the four men who are supposed to be responsible. And yet we have listened to the dullest most, technocratic speeches I've ever heard.

You are all in denial. By any objective measure the euro is a failure. And who exactly is responsible, who is in charge out of all you lot? The answer is none of you because none of you have been elected; none of you have any democratic legitimacy for the roles you currently hold within this crisis.

And into this vacuum, albeit reluctantly, has stepped Angela Merkel. And we are now living in a German-dominated Europe - something that the European project was actually supposed to stop. Something that those who went before us actually paid a heavy price in blood to prevent. I don't want to live in a German-dominated Europe and nor do the citizens of Europe.

But you guys have played a role, because when Mr Papandreou got up and used the word 'referendum' - or Mr Rehn, you described it as 'a breach of confidence', and your friends here got together like a pack of hyenas, rounded on Papandreou, had him removed and replaced by a puppet Government. What an absolutely disgusting spectacle that was.

And not satisfied with that, you decided that Berlesconi had to go. So he was removed and replaced by Mr Monti, a former European Commissioner, a fellow architect of this Euro disaster and a man who wasn't even a member of parliament.




It's getting like an Agatha Christie novel, where we're trying to work out who is the next person that's going to be bumped off. The difference is, we know who the villains are. You should all be held accountable for what you've done. You should all be fired.

And I have to say, Mr Van Rompuy. 18 months ago when we first met, I was wrong about you. I said you would be the quiet assassin of nation states' democracy, but not anymore, you are rather noisy about it aren't you. You, an unelected man, went to Italy and said, 'This is not the time for elections but the time for actions'. What in God's name gives you the right to say that to the Italian people.

Update - Merkel is now interfering in British sovereignty:

Germany will destroy all the civilized country in Europe with their aggressive financial politics.

Germany get out of the EU.

[ukipwebmaster]

I think Germany is the EU.......

[Strugglefire]

Wie ich diese "böses Deutschland" Schei**e nicht mehr hören kann...die Leute sollten sich mal in den betroffenen Ländern fragen, warum ihnen die Schei**e jetzt bis zum Hals steht. Deutschland will/wollte nie die "Führungsrolle" übernehmen, schon allein aus historischen Gründen. Aber warum soll sich der "Klassenbeste" ein Beispiel an den schlechteren Schülern nehmen? Umgekehrt wird ein Schuh draus!

Long Live to Germany and Japan :D

[Jaaaaaannik]

After 1914 and 1940, germany is going to dominate europa again.

[PiretBCN]

No, we don't want your money. Even if it's more total and radical we have ever seen before. Please keep it!

[DarkShadowLightning]

can you remember german people? can you remember the day when adolf hitler gave the european people billions of euros to take over their countries. what a brutal and nasty plan uuuh. we are such bad people we germans.

DO YOU WANT THE TOTAL MONEY?

[Max Mustermann]

ja trotzdem bezahlen die deutschen bei jedem rettungsschirm die höchsten anteile, wir haben die größte wirtschaft in europa. ich finde wir sollten dann auch mehr rechte haben.

Das ist viel zu vereinfacht und ein bisschen nationalistisch.. Aber es ist nicht schwarz und weiß..

Deutschland hat als Exportmeister in den letzten 13 Jahren durch den Euro auch eine Menge profitiert.. vor allem Großbanken und Großkonzerne, nicht die Steuerzahler..

Die Krisenländer haben auch in den vorherigen Jahren Schei**e gebaut.. Probleme bekommen sie aber erst nach dem Euro, während der globalen Rezession und nach der Bankenkrise..

Es sind also mehrere Faktoren, die mitentscheidend sind..

They are "really" in the EU. Mixing up or mixing together 1. the EU, 2. the Schengen Treaty and 3. the Euro, is quite common though. This just proves that the EU is not close to the hearts and souls of most people. It's just a foggy concept most people don't even understand.
