"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
Are you seriously quoting a civil rights activist to support a racist?
How is Farage racist?
Didn't Ghandhi beat his wife?
Good job Britain! Hopefully your courageous decision might restore freedom for the rest of the continent! End the Eurocrats, end the EU!
LOL, where do they breed you dim-wits who fall for just about the simplest, dumbest slogans floating around?
.. they appear out of the ether of some assholes farts, assholes that desire power and can't have it any other way than lying about it. See See Nigel and that other one, Boris.
Actually.. come to think of it, I think the Russian troll machine started working again. Look how all these idiots use the same phrases, like Eurocrats, triumph of democracy, etc, etc.
Ahh, I see that you are one of those paranoid fellows that behind everything that occurs in this world there must be some imaginary "russian trolls" lurking. Keep it up, this mentality led exactly to the result that you cannot comprehend.
More like the spirit of insults and arrogance I dare say..
Farage telling it how it is. These politicians are childish. Look at the smirks on their faces. Worse than kids.
How, exactly? Half of what Farage says is, quite frankly, hilarious. Wouldn't you have a smirk?
I think your as easily manipulated as they are. What he's saying is valid and has weight. Something you won't find from any of those smirkers.
Aspects of what he is saying is valid - the request for a 'grown-up ... attitude to how we negotiate a different relationship.'
He then he then goes on to launch a personal attack on the entire chamber. Why? Why does he launch personal attacks on the counterparties his country will be negotiating with, while asking for a grown-up attitude in negotiations? He sounds like a boy at primary school asking a girl out - 'You smell and are ugly, will you be my girlfriend?'. It *is* hilarious.
And it's really annoying, because the majority of the speech prior to that one sentence was actually fairly well argued - I'm not actually sure I agree with what he said, but it was clear and - if you do agree with him - telling truth to power in a direct manner. But he undid all of that work to get revenge at the MEPs that he feels either don't do a proper job or laughed at him (his opening statement of this speech refers to them laughing at him, hence why I mention it)
That "scathing attack" was 15 years in the making like he said. 15 years of ridicule and bad mouthing. He says one "attack" and people cry. Think about how much REAL grief he's taken over the years. Yet still stands up for what he believes in. And in the end he won and was right.
I voted Remain but I always thought he was right on the idea that politicians are out of touch. Some have done proper jobs but most have not. Politicians need to be a mix of ex-teachers, nurses, doctors, accountants, marketers, psychologists, electricians, plumbers etc etc because that would REPRESENT society. Instead, you get a lot of people leaving Uni and waltzing into, and let's be honest, a well-paid, relatively speaking, easy job, without any real-life experience. So fair play to him on this.
Using the phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your face" must be a nightmare for the translators.
hahahahaha
Not for good ones :)
Nigel Farage is a exemple for all european nation ! Thank Mister Farage !
Love you Nigel! Thanks for freeing us, and sticking it to the slave-wannabes in our midst.
Farage is a very gifted person. He knows how to unite people. :)
Hitler was okay until the war broke out. From then on his Mr. Hyde side got the upper hand, mainly due to amphetamines he got injected almost daily by his doctor Theodor Morell.
+Notso Sure not true, concentration camps were build in 1935 and opposing political parties got thrown into jail even back in the weimarer-republic
+Notso Sure Night of the Long Knives was nothing special. political assassinations have happened many times. Just think of Kennedy. Before the war, concentration camps were not death camps. And Churchill was a fan of those too...
The Soviet-Union moreover, killed far more opponents. The regime tried to exterminate 'dangerous'intelligentsia. Something the nazi- regime did not.
in the time frame-before the war- the Nazi regime was even lauded by British diplomats...
+Notso Sure What is worse: British colonialism or deportations? (mind: there were no mass murders before the war)
+Notso Sure And my reasoning behind Hitler as an 'okay' leader is because: disregarding the warcrimes, he did terrific things for his country. There's no denying that. That authoritarian regime however, cameat a cost: corruption and gangsterism by his henchmen- who only were judged by Hitler. Hence: also the SS and its crimes.
Farage our leader🙂
Yours maybe.
humanity's
Complete and utter buffoon... So embarrassed he in any way represents us. We are a laughing stock in Europe and the rest of the world...
Lets hope he is next PM next election Farage than man who beat the anti-British racist left...
The British escaped from the powder keg.
THIS MAN IS A HERO!!!
THANKS FROM ROME!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is rare that such a momentous change owes so much to one man's enterprise. Various insults are posted to this page (perhaps with some justification or not?) but I suspect a measure of resentment at a rare triumph of democracy over the will of the privileged imposing their supposedly superior morality on others less fortunate, while hypocritically suffering none of its downsides themselves.
Farage is utterly ridiculous.
I think you give Farage too much credit.
Sure he campaigned in the same direction as 52%, but I didn't watch the country unite under UKIP.
Thanks for comment. I would suggest the country hasn't exactly been uniting under the Tories or "Labour" for many decades now.
For all Farages's faults, I think you give him far too little credit. He started a campaign for a huge objective and saw it through to success. Few people can claim that.
...BoJo can.
And the country is certainly divided.
Farage has been on this wagon for a long time and NO ONE in the UK took him seriously expect loonies and fascists, not it's all changed? Boris and Gove were the real perpetrators.
Can't barrage the Farrage!
In the media, it might seem that the rest of Europe is laughing at the Brits. However, in our private circles, we are super jealous of you. We for instance- Belgium- could never leave the EU. We are way too small to negotiate significant trade deals with the rest of the world on our own, plus the EU's headquarters are stationed in Brussels...
Congratulations Britons, you will have to ride out a storm or two- and possibly a Scottish independence- but that is the price to pay for standing on your own feet and accounting to no one except your own.
Great truthful words!!
TRUTH REALLY HURTS!!!
The guy in the top right at the end says it all, i am so embarrassed to be British right now WTF!!!!
he is Lithuanian =D
Your one of the pro-eu racist then, it was a great victory for hope when we voted out against you anti-British culture anti-British people racists, I bet your a student or 23 or under
Gareth if you're going try and troll, then you need to do better than that as you're being too obvious. Seriously that post was so try hard it should get a special certificate for it's efforts, I mean it didn't hit the mark or win but at least you tried your best.
evilblondgoth is telling the truth trolling now, don't you like been labelled a racist because that is what all the remain voters were racists trying to destroy British culture...
+onlysleeping66 are you sick ??
Well done Mr. Farage!
he's the best thing in politics for years.
It scares me to the core how high a proportion of people cannot fathom a man who speaks the truth.
Even scarier that people like you thought this was the truth😅 i have voted no for norway to join twice, so its not because of the EU debate. But the fact you all was so easily led by foreign interference, basically the brits own game. The whole populist wave from 2010-- was a push for making the west weak and divided. And you all fell for it.
I could see two MEPs who have proven they have never done a proper job in their lives. A blonde and a red haired. They just couldn't face the truth.
What I would like to see is a grownup and sensible attitude... but first let me demonstrate the exact opposite.
Farage represents Little Inglund but he does not represent Scotland.
No, Scotland has the Krankies.
+James Danny considering 'our' language is a mixture of various languages over thousands of years, I don't think you get a say in how people get to use it.
+James Danny well done? it's the primary language in North America and Australia too, are you going to belittle them for not wanting to be a part of England? I don't blame anyone who doesn't at the moment, with shining examples such as yourself being the residents of the country.
He doesn't represent all of England. London is more in tune with Scotland and NI than the country surrounding it rn.
Mate do you represent Scotland for bad grammar
great words. and so true! n ferage - my absolute hero.
What an embarrassment! How on earth did he get people to vote for him?
By informing them.
Seems like he's doing a poor job at that:
www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/brexit-nigel-farage-says-pledge-of-350-million-a-week-for-nhs-was-a-mistake-a3279831.html
The was not made by him but Leave group which hes not part.
What, you mean a guy who came from nowhere and mobilized 17M people to get out of the EU before it crashed and burned. That's pretty impressive in my book.
I guess 25% - 50% youth unemployment across southern Europe does not concern you?
hope and change
guardian 'the whole picture' decide to take a snippit of a speach rather the whole thing-
The guy on the right at the top is Vytenis Andriukaitis, European Health Commissioner, raised in a Stalin gulag and a former surgeon. Just to say Nigel...
Huge Respect !! This guy makes Trump look mature....
Great job Uk. Greetings from Spain
As substantial as the whole Bexit campaign.
He's absolutely insane. Why doesn't he recognize in which situation GB is?
He is doing just fine. He doesn't care about consequences as long as only working class suffers from it.
The most ironic thing is, it's the working class that most supports him.
And you happen to know it...
+Silvana Barilla Most of you still think that you are the 20th century global power, which you aren't.
Number 123 behind him literaly facepalms
My favorite thing cord melody
give the Uk NO DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Fine with me, it'll hurt the EU more and lead to its collapse. To the cheers of millions throughout Europe, especially the poor working classes. The days of the UK being dictated to and bullied by the EU regime are over.
Good luck with that.
The deserve ABSOLUTELY NO DEAL.
*****
Clearly you are sour.
How do you figure it will hurt the EU more?!
"A proper job in your lives." A few seats behind Farage on seat number 160 there's a man named Vytenis Andriukaitis. He's the European Health Commissioner who was raised in one of Stalin's gulag and is today a heart surgeon...
You can see him understandably face palm at 1:54
Yeah, just ignore the keyword MOST....globalist POS.
the piano guys
"What I would like to see is a grown up and sensible attitude to how we negotiate a different relationship. Now I know that virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your lives(...)". These are literally two consecutive sentences. Seriously how can someone take seriously a guy that prepares a speech like this? Either he is contradicting himself or worst: he demands that others follow rules that he himself is not willing to follow.
Hahaha, WHAT A BOSS
Would you be interested in a trade agreement with England?
I know I would
Anyone that gets up the noses of the Guardianista's gets top marks from this observer.
Fortunately there are several like him in different EU countries:
France - Marine Le Pen
Netherlands - Geert Wilders
Germany - Frauke Petry
Hungary - Victor Orban (prime minister)
Austria - Norbert Hofer
Italy - Mateo Silvini
Slovakia - Robert Fico (president)
Czech Republic - Miloš Zeman (president)
We could add more names to this list. There are very good opposition leaders in Scandinavia, Southern and Eastern Europe, too.
bravo !
Legend.
Has anyone checked if the Queen is still alive ???
Hillarious!
Aged like fine wine
seen off from finance industry, what industries does england have?
whos the women behind nigel farage seat 80?
Farage got some balls. I like this dude.
He is right. It's the same in the german parliament (Bundestag)
I hope this guy doesnt represent to other countries, Brits as a whole, the vote was pretty much split down the middle, and many of us are embarassed by it.
I wonder how many people would have changed their vote if they knew the Leave campaign was lying through their teeth.
Except, the Remain camp was also lying. Both sides were. It was an utterly dishonest campaign.
I am more embarrassed by the liberal left who think its acceptable to kick democracy into the gutter and overturn the countries biggest ever free vote because they did not like the result.
great man speaking there unflinching resolve.
This is very funny to watch !
What a Disgrace and embarrassing for UK.
legend
I'll miss this comic.
Althought not really
The Benny Hill show is back!
If you cut the nose off, the consequences will be far worse for the nose than will be for the face! It is hard to argue with that logic!
farage is certainly a good public speaker, it is just the thinking that lets him down.
I say, replace Farage with Roy Hodgson. He knows how to get you out of Europe
Wondered about the comments on here - then realised you're all Guardian readers! lol
I like Nigel Farage.
I love this guy.
One had to say this. Word, Nigel.
Where's the part where Parliament laughs on his constatation that the Euro is failing?
Der Mann hat einfach nur Recht !!! Bravo, er spricht Millionen von Europäern aus der Seele.
that was Savage lol
He is basically saying to 27 countries ( including 3 of the top 10 most powerful countries in the world) - you better trade us in our own terms as you need us more than we need you. Very good negotiation skills... I am sure EU will now happily offer a good trade deal to the UK..
this guy should come to the US and talk to our graduate law school/right into congress politicians
Makes a change from the slavish obedience of most national politicians especially in my country.
asks for mature behavior; goes on to insult everybody in the room
This is Monty Python at its best!
He gets laughed at by the EU, he gets laughed at by Government , he is hated by half of the UK and he nearly gave up his seat in the election . Who's to say he will give up again ?!!!. He is a loose canon .
We've had the same discussion here in Switzerland more than 20 years ago. We didn't join the EU and we're much better off now, as is Norway. The U.K. already has WTO freetrade with all EU memberstates and they would be more than welcome in the EFTA, in case the EU should be getting mad. Don't believe the media, just wait a few years and you'll all be more than glad about your wise vote.
The truth hurts for those wealthy MEPs
whats that with everybody saying "UK left the EU"? They did not leave the EU yet. That is going to take another 2 to 5 years(!!) A referendum is not even an election. It is just a way for a government to get the general opinion of the people in a country. Even if this was an election, they still have a period of atleast 2 years before they actually can leave...
What a Guy!
EU is Der Untergang 🤯
Farage was a banker, I find it deeply ironic he presumably thinks of that as a proper job.
Did Britain go full America?
I love the dude facepalming at 1:45. He embodies how everyone views UKIP and English Nationalists.
From Ireland i salute the Brexit but i respect the concerns of the pro-EU vote,i think the commercial creative streak the Brits always had for large scale inventive industrialization,steel works,automobiles,all the pre and post war manufacturing of goods etc,the general attitude for the British public is get back to those days............but,the Chinese and other Asian economies have filled that void a long time ago,fronted by cheap labor with western powers selling their souls for cheaper costs,i think its going to be hard for the Brits to get ahead regarding trade...............unless you go down the road of cheap labor,and cheap wages.who knows
Brilliant! What a man!
One of his companies ended up insolvent and another was actioned over 100 times by the regulator for little things like fake bonds and hiding losses of $400m - is that what he means by a 'proper' job? I think public service is just a bit more proper than his wheeler dealer career.
WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN A TRADE WITH ENGLAND?
+dre oo well we don't like to be told what to do and be controlled by the Eu especially from shit countries like Brussels. So dude fuck off as more nations will leave after us. 🖕🖕🖕🖕
The EU is looking angry towards Brittain because leaving the EU caused economical difficulties withtin Brittain and propably other European countries. But have we already forgotten what kind of recession we had and have to endure because of the installed EU-politics? Most European countries where doing fine before the EU-politics was installed! Most European countries where doing better than America based on economics and food protection laws! People within European countries are often living and eating more healthy than Americans. After the EU-politics where installed European countries just crashed economically! The economies of coutries like Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland suffered and many people within Spain became unemployed and even homeless. Other countries like Britain, The Netherlands, Belgium and France suffered as well economically. With TTIP America tries to get a tight grip on Europe! Lobbyists working for American multinational compagnies will buy their way into Europe like a virus. These lobbyists now have bring some multiple millions of euro's towards corrupted EU-lawmakers and this way they will destroy European food protection laws! America will be able so sell their cheap to produce trashfoods and other cheap junk within Europe are the European citizens will have no choise then to buy, use and eat it! Europe will become more dangerous and less healthy because of the corrupted superstate called the EU! Quality of life is more important than money!
Farage is THAT guy. Get in son.
Nigel Farage is AWESOME LOL Holy Moly.
Farage for PM!
lol. No matter how you feel about this man, he's certainly right about this.
The fact that people are supporting this guy and his party is just reminder that we as a species always will create out own conflicts. We Europeans should be the first to realise this. I sincerely hope this will change one day.
It surely would be also a bad business for the EU, if they didn't negotiate good trade conditions with the EU. There are a lot of EU countries which sell and buy goods from and to the UK, these trades represent a part of the economic wealth of these countries, although UK isn't the sole trade partner. Definitely it would be a shock for the economies of the EU since UK has an amount of 60 million potential consumers.
But I also think that Mr. Farage's style of negotiating is very unwise and ineffective.
He should be in a mental hospital.
That´s an insult to insane people. :-D
+Nic Soderman That's true. It is so unbelievable that this character has so much influence and exposure in English politics. Reminds me of Hitler.
What for telling the truth how come everybody on the racist left wants people locking up when they tell the truth? It's because you are fascists..
Ok, Gareth.
Nic Soderman good answer racist
Look at the facepalm at 1:54 lel.
this guy should be prime minister
I'm astonished by the level of ignorance and hypocrisy of this man! Is this the example Uk wants to set? Sending this ignorant,full of lies,with no respect for other human beings who's best ability is to insult and look down on others like he's some sort of royal breed is just wrong.
BEST comment on here. Put so perfectly.
How right nigel was, failed entities making rules that effect us all
However you voted, this is an odious, hateful man; utterly graceless in victory and deliberately, foolishly antagonising the very people with whom we will spend the next two-three years contentiously negotiating with.
I can't agree more. And his behaviour is so... un-British. I understood him that he fought for what he believed ferociously. Indeed I admire his determination for over 20 years, despite all the setbacks. But he seems he got intoxicating with the victory. It's not rare that the biggest fall is preceded by the biggest triumph. And there is also something about having a class: some people just don't have it.
How about you look at the words you used to attack a person and the words of the person who you attacked. There is a big difference and only pity left for you .... look into the mirror.
Most of the anti-British whingers on here have never had a job Farage is a great person unlike you with your gender, ethnic studies degrees what can't even get you a job in Mcdonalds...
He is as British as they come Pytel it is the pro eu left who are the anti-British racists yes you're a racist and we beat you racists..
I'm politically agnostic. I don't really care about that bit. I simply do research into human stupidity. Sometimes I wouldn't think that so stupid people may possibly be born, but then... here you are. But is it anything wrong in being barmy? I love diversity, seriously.
THE EU does 4% of its trade with the UK; the UK does 50% of its trade with the EU. How is no deal a good deal for the UK?
then why is he so desperately asking for a deal
...er hat natürlich recht :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
