He is the exact opposite of a true patriot.
Nige is a deeply thoughtful and compassionate politician. He is the only one who has always believed in Brexit Britain. When he gets a peerage, he will be PM.
@@Holliethedog😂😂😂that is top class trolling 😂😂
@@Holliethedogthanx, that was hilarious totally made my day, have you thought of a career in comedy.
@@Holliethedog🤡
He should be deported.....
The frightening thing is that people actually believe this grifter.
They say he makes sense. It is absurd!
Frightening to know that half the country is fascist. We are pushing an elephant up the stairs
That's what l find scary. He just causes more bigotry and racism.
@@lesleysmith8300 Unfortunately populists like him tap in to the baser instincts of people.
What you have to understand is that the alternative is admitting to themselves that they were duped and that is simply too painful for some people to deal with.
Nigel Farage said he would leave the UK if Brexit failed.
Nigel Farage said Brexit has failed.
Nigel Farage is still here.
He has nowhere to go.
And don't respond with the old lie about his 'German passport' - only exists in the ignorant British media.
For merely meeting criteria to APPLY he would have needed to have lived in Germany for 8 consecutive years of first residence and paying taxes. The civil servant would enter his name, date of birth into the national database for mandatory registration of residence and find out within 2 seconds that he hasn't been living in Germany for 8 years in a row.
Greetings from Bavaria
PS and since the UK is a third country now - he would have needed to renounce his British passport - Germany permits dual citizenship with fellow EU members, but not with 3rd countries (for a while, there existed an exception for Turkish immigrants applying)
What a true load of garbage you talk🥵
The next line is "Nigel Farage is a liar."
@@EllieD.Violet Lucky Bavaria, you don't want this creature in your country.

Please tell us what you know about EU fiscal union, EU economic union, EU political union, the unification of member states’ armed forces under command of the European Council, the reckless expansionism of the EU across Eastern Europe, and the unfettered migration into the EU from North Africa and the Middle East, at the EU’s open invitation.

@@SJG-nr8ujPlease tell us what you know?
Farage is full of it. What my father would have called a "buffoon."
He’s a slippery one!
a dangerous Buffon as he appeals to simple thinking racists .
My mother would have called him a horses arse!
A tool ? Maybe kias dad made him.. perhaps they are brothers! Farage got the brains though and looks.
Oddly enough, I was thinking about this before watching the video. Boris was definitely a buffoon, but Farage isn't. As Liz says, quote, "he's a slippery one". Most definitely, he's full of the same rubbish and is as much as a liar as Boris, but because he's not a buffoon he manages to convince many by his slick way of speaking and the portrayal of his image as 'an ordinary bloke from the pub'. He's far from being an ordinary bloke from a pub of course. I can't find the right word to describe him, but 'weasel', 'scam artist' and 'charlatan' all come to mind, but I'm sure that there is a better word to describe this very dangerous opportunistic person.
A vulgar snakeoil salesman.
But the ignorant love him, just like snake oil offers hope to the gullible
Lying, blaming someone else, typical Fartage!
That qualifies him to lead the tory party.

@@SJG-nr8ujyou first.
@@trulymental7651 The European Union is happy to help you with the information.
1. THE EU’s FEDERAL INTENTIONS
Lisbon Treaty Article 3.4: “The Union shall establish an ECONOMIC and monetary UNION whose currency is the euro.”
EU Five Presidents’ Report, 2015: “Progress MUST HAPPEN on four fronts: first, towards a genuine ECONOMIC UNION that ensures each economy has the structural features to prosper within the Monetary Union. Second, towards a FINANCIAL UNION that guarantees the integrity of our currency across the Monetary Union and increases risk-sharing with the private sector. This means completing the Banking Union and accelerating the Capital Markets Completing Europe’s Economic and Monetary Union. Third, towards a FISCAL UNION that delivers both fiscal sustainability and fiscal stabilisation. And finally, towards a POLITICAL UNION that provides the foundation for all of the above through genuine democratic accountability, legitimacy and institutional strengthening.”
Angela Merkel’s immediate response to the referendum result, 24th June 2016: “Today is a watershed moment for Europe, and it is a watershed moment for the EUROPEAN UNIFICATION PROCESS. There is no doubt that this is a blow to Europe, and to the EUROPEAN UNIFICATION PROCESS.”
EU Rome Declaration, 25th March 2017: “Working towards COMPLETING the ECONOMIC and monetary UNION” (with a preferred deadline for completion of 2027).
ECB’s ‘Fiscal Implications of the EU Recovery Package’ 2020. “The way that the EU has responded to the crisis also has implications for the future design and implementation of the EUROPEAN GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK. First, while expansionary fiscal policy is necessary to sustain the recovery, going forward it will be important for the fiscal rules to effectively support the reduction of high government debt in good economic times. Second, NGEU constitutes a new and innovative element of the EUROPEAN FISCAL FRAMEWORK. It will result in the issuance of sizeable supranational debt over the coming years, and its establishment has signalled a political readiness to design a common fiscal tool when the need arises. This innovation, while a one-off, could also imply lessons for ECONOMIC and Monetary UNION, which still lacks a PERMANENT FISCAL CAPACITY AT SUPRANATIONAL LEVEL for macroeconomic stabilisation in deep crises. The review of the ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK, which was launched by the Commission in February 2020 and postponed because of the pandemic, provides a GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO INCORPORATE THESE IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS.” (NGEU stands for “Next Generation European Union”).
From the EU’s own website: “Once the economic and financial crisis (of 2008/9) was overcome, the EU established a process aimed at reinforcing the architecture of EMU (ECONOMIC and monetary UNION). The process is based on the Five Presidents’ Report on Completing Europe’s Economic and Monetary Union of 2015, which focused on four main issues:
• A genuine ECONOMIC UNION;
• A FINANCIAL UNION;
• A FISCAL UNION;
• A POLITICAL UNION.
These four unions are STRICTLY INTER-RELATED and would develop in parallel. The report was followed by a series of communications, proposals and measures, and the discussion is still ongoing.”
In 2022 all member states reaffirmed their commitment to economic union, as part of Lisbon Treaty Article 3.
From the EU’s website (dated 29/4/24): “Today the Council adopted three pieces of legislation that will reform the EU’s ECONOMIC AND FISCAL GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK.
‘The main objective of the reform is to ensure sound and sustainable public finances, while promoting sustainable and inclusive growth in all member states through reforms and investment.
The new legislation will significantly improve the existing framework and provide effective and applicable rules for all EU countries. They will safeguard balanced and sustainable public finances, increase the focus on structural reforms and investments to spur growth and job creation throughout the EU. The time is now for a swift implementation’: Vincent Van Peteghem, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of Belgium.”
2. THE EU’S MILITARY INTENTIONS
Lisbon Treaty Article 42.3: “Member states shall make civilian and MILITARY capabilities available to the Union for the implementation of the common security and defence policy, to contribute to the objectives DEFINED BY THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL.”
The EU’s military headquarters is the Kortenberg Building in Brussels.
The EU Global Strategy, 30th June 2016, issued exactly one week after the referendum, contains the right of the EU’s military “to act autonomously (of NATO) if and when necessary”.
It will need this, because, as you should know, Lisbon Treaty Article 42 commits member states to the defence of a member under attack. So if Ukraine is still under attack when it joins the EU, it will be the EU which is at war with Russia, not NATO. The defence of Ukraine doesn’t trigger the NATO charter.
On 19th February 2019 Federica Mogherini told an audience in Hamburg: “... all the way through the security spectrum, up to the military operations, because not so many know that the European Union has seventeen deployed missions and operations around the world. So, together, we are already a unique global security provider.” I checked this figure recently. It now stands at twenty-one.
On 23rd April 2019 the European Council issued its Military Command and Control Structures document, outlining its military command structure over member states’ land, sea and air forces. The diagram contained within reappears on the Wikipedia page for the Kortenberg Building, above.
In September 2021 Ursula Von der Leyen said this: “But what we need is the European Defence Union. In the last weeks there have been many discussions on expeditionary forces. On what type and how many we need: battlegroups or EU entry forces. This is no doubt part of the debate - and I believe it will be part of the solution. But the more fundamental issue is why this has not worked in the past. You can have the most advanced forces in the world - but if you are never prepared to use them - of what use are they?”
Last year the EU led joint military exercises in Spain. This is taken from the EU’s CSDP website: “The two-part MILEX 23 exercise commenced on 18 September and concluded on 22 October. The first part of this intense period was a 3-week planning phase by the MPCC in Brussels. In part two, this culminated in the EU’s first ever live military exercise from 16 - 22 October in Rota Naval Base, Cadiz, Spain. During Part 2, an EU Battlegroup-sized force carried out the Operational Plan developed by the MPCC in Part 1. Overall, 19 Member States contributed to MILEX 23.”
(CSDP = Common Security and Defence Policy. MPCC = Military Planning and Conduct Capability).
3. Reckless EU expansionism across Eastern Europe - widely known and reported on, including Albania (hotbed of gangsterism and corruption), Serbia and Montenegro (both traditional allies of Russia), Moldova (part of it coveted by Russia), Ukraine (currently at war with Russia), Turkey (instantly the largest, most populous and poorest country in the EU upon joining) and several others, all of which will bring nothing but a begging bowl to the EU’s table. Oh, except for Ukraine, because, as above, Lisbon Treaty Article 42 commits member states to the military aid of a member under attack. So if Ukraine is still at war upon its accession the EU will be at war with Russia.
4. Unfettered migration into Europe from North Africa and the Middle East (the free movement of people was a secret part of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, in effect since 2010, and signed between the EU and Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, the Palestine Authority, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey). “Eurocrats do not consider (migration) to be a problem, but rather as a project”: Fabrice Leggeri, former Director of the European Border and Coastguard Agency (Frontex).
All this has been going on while Remainers have been asleep for the last fifteen years. It is though, what they voted for - just a shame nobody told them.

"The National Farmers’ Union lobbied to increase the amount of pesticides allowed in the UK’s drinking water and to allow farmers to spread manure more frequently as part of a post-Brexit loosening of environmental regulations" The Guardian , May 10th 2024
Fartage is still thirsty 🥛
UK has signed exactly three trade agreements "all over the world". The rest of the some 7o trade agreements are rollovers from trade deals UK already had as a member of EU. The three it has made on its own are all worse than what it had as a member. The Australians even laughed at UK after it had signed the agreement.
There were 759 different agreements signed by the EU on behalf of the member states with 168 countries. 295 concerned trade, 69 fisheries, 65 transport, 49 customs and 45 nuclear issues.
UK lost all of these when it left EU. it also lost all the exportquotas of these agreements that it had as a member of EU
. The remaining members were happy to split them up between themselves. it was a nice brexit benefit. You might remember that Japan did not give UK any new dairy quota but siggested UK could ask EU for permission to use any of the unions unallocated quotas.
Whether the Australians laugh at us is small fry. The Chinese are incredulous at Brexit. THAT spells real trouble.
There is a simple truth: Together you are stronger. This is the reason, why countries form alliances and feel well inside them. The UK opted out of this common knowledge and now faces the consequences. My advice: Chose people as politicians, who at least have a basic understanding of how life really works.
Yes, these export figures are *_highly_* misleading. So, I'm an exporter of yellow plastic ducks selling them at £1 a piece - but the plastic is manufactured and coloured abroad in Country1 (as yellow chips), shipped to Country2 where it's formed into ducks and then imported into the UK for 90p where I paint (imported from Country3) the beaks and eyes at a cost of 5p and finally make 5p profit on export. Whoo hoo! The export figures show £1 of exports but _discount the 95p of imported costs._ What's important is the _trade balance,_ which includes the value of so-called "intermediate inputs" and the UK is highly in deficit in this respect. In fact, the cost of imported intermediate inputs has been rising year-on-year after BRexit, rising 11.9% from non-EU countries in 2022 alone., the net value of the UK’s output _produced domestically_ as a percentage of GDP is now a mere 16.7%. All those export figures are as a result of other countries hard work.
Brexit increased immigration
You mean the wrong kind of immigration. Rather than genuine economic migrants, we are now getting all sorts of grifters (like him) as a result of the fantastic trade deals the Tories have made.
The biggest point that is baffling is how this government even thought we would not need to fill the quota of jobs that people in this country would not/could not do which were being done by East Europeans and are now having to import labour from India. Just shows how rushed Brexit was.
You mean the government increased immigration. Being in the EU had no effect whatsoever on non-EU immigration policy.
Lol no government policy and boats increased migration. 😂 iq test maybe needed...
@@user-wj7cv9hb5j Total net immigration/year: about 600 000. Total boats/year: 50 000. The boats are...a drop in the channel.
@@wessexfox5197 Leaving the EU had a knock on effect on non EU immigration, because non EU immigration increased in order to plug the gaps left by EU immigrants who were no longer able to take advantage of free movement.
Farage shows such self-sacrifice, from the kindness of his heart he came out of retirement to prevent these people from winning. No, honestly Nige, we'll be fine, please carry on with your retirement and enjoy your EU pension.
...and please when you've failed for the 8th time to win a seat (fingers crossed) don't go over to the US to make a mess there as well.
The pension that is payed by the UK btw. Every EU memberstate pays all the pensions of its MEPs and commissioners. That goes for a former member too.
After the UK left the EU, the EU stopped paying the pension of former member state's EU-MPs and civil servants. The UK had to take the responsible for EU pensions paid to former UK EU-MPs and civil servants. So the bill for Farage's pension has landed in the UK's tax payer's, in-box. So I'm al-right Jack; Farage, member of the EU or not, is still raking it in.
So what is it you want to rejoin? A harmless, benign trading bloc? It doesn't exist and it never did!
@@SJG-nr8uj Oh dear, your anti-EU chants are out of date. Have a think.
Nothing Farage says, actually doesn't make any sense. Thanks for being there Liz.
Like Theresa warned, Brexit means Brexit. Boris, David and Nigel knew full well that Brexit always would fail the UK, but the constant lies, dithering, delays, incompetence and internal rebellions made things even worse. In that sense Nigel is correct, but it does not mean that he would have come up with a better outcome, as he didn't have a sketch of a plan either.

@@SJG-nr8uj Look a couple of months ago i send you an answer on the same questions. But anyway we are still in the single market and we don’t have red tape. That means enough.
@@ronaldaberson5478 If you replied then you will know that these duplicitous, megalomaniac scams are all heading the way of the European Union, along with the EU setting itself on a collision course for war with Russia.
The only part of the UK still in the Single Market is Northern Ireland, and that was only done through the EU's obstructive, uncooperative weaponising of the Irish border issue.
Answer is given by this question: why do all these Eastern States wish to join the EU? And why do so many people more wish to proceed to the UK knowing that in the EU nobody is obliged to holding them back neither taking them back?

@@SJG-nr8uj you sound clever with your interrogatory statement. GB news really has hit home. Please have some original talking points. Remember, successive Tory governments since Ted Heath, advocated and signed us up to a progression of treaties that gave the Uk the prosperity and opportunities that have been squandered by the charlatans, populist politicians and crony capitalism that the likes of you bought into from Farage, Johnson and Gove. As for a European army, we are already part of one, it’s called NATO. For the issue of migrants, it should be a collective effort to resolve and removing us from Europe has exacerbated the crisis for the UK. Your vote ended up shooting us in the foot. Shame on you for letting yourself be conned into voting against your own interests.
We are signing trade deals, all over the world. What a joke he is.
Indeed signing away Britain with terrible deals.
There seemed to be a lot more red tape also

You're forgetting the great trade deals with Oz & NZ, great for them that is.
Don't lie, it was downgraded by 50% after some more reflection on what was signed 😁
Charles de Gaulle said do not let the English into the EU as they would want to leave and would make problems and he was right,!
I liked him! He knew we British would not be dragged into the Franco-German scam!
I would have stopped the interview there and then after Farage's ridiculous comment about the French and said "If all you're going to do is throw silly stereotypes around we'll leave it there."
For him, personally, it has been a success! from failed MP candidate and fringe MEP in the EU parliament to the limelight. A dream come true

It is shocking that anyone would believe Nigel Farage. He now blames the Tories for the state of the country after Brexit. But it was Farage, himself, who gave the Tories a clear run in the last general election, on Brexit, and the kind of Brexit, (the "Brexit means Brexit" kind), the Tories promised, by running away from the voters.
Farage is the one who urged voters to support the Tories and their version of Brexit.
With an 80 seat majority the Tories faced no opposition to the kind of Brexit the wanted, and which Farage supported. When he got what he wanted and discovered the people were not happy, he decided to blame the very Tories he had given his backing to.
Don't ever forget it.
Your memory is failing you. Farage stood down his Brexit Party candidates in order to give Boris a clear run and not split the Leave vote. Boris's mantra was "Leave with a Deal" (not "Brexit means Brexit"). The deal struck was not in Britain's best interests. However, a vote for anyone other than the Tories in December 2019 would have resulted in an EU/Remain stitch-up. We had to get out when we did, in order not to be sucked back into that giant, duplicitous, megalomaniac scam.
Never answers a question but waffles and distracts and pushes bigotry
Listening to Nigel Farage for two minutes is the best laxative ever. The man has no scruples whatever.
Trust in politicians diead when boris stud in the house of commons and lied and lied while relatives diead ," there were no party's all rules were followed " . Trust died.
Nasty guy, Farage. Wasn't it Goethe who said : 'I mistrust anyone in whom the urge to punish is strong'.?
Labour want to punish hard working everyday men and women of the UK with higher tax and mass immigration. Think a bit more about your comments and who you are supporting.

Imagine how he poo poo at the 4% drop in goods trade but bemoaned the lack of effort to secure more trade in services. Then went on to bemoan productivity. He has the spin machine on warp drive. He exposed himself as a disaster capitalist but the presenter missed a clear open goal as they do time and time again.
The presenter is in on it with him. Nigel continually runs from real debate.

Angela Merkel's immediate reaction to the referendum result: "Today is a watershed moment for Europe, and it is a watershed moment for the EUROPEAN UNIFICATION PROCESS. There is no doubt that this is a blow to Europe, and to the EUROPEAN UNIFICAITON PROCESS."
Do you think that the British people should have been informed about the "European unification process" BEFORE 16 million people voted in favour of it, or was that too much to expect?
If they had the bonfire of ALL the laws they wanted to would include equal rights for women. I don't think that would ganner them too many votes, but would lose a lot
Snake oil salesman. Never takes responsibility. Hoping he will lose for the 8th time.
😂 go away Nigel, you already split the country and brought out the worst traits out in scared people .
Great post Liz 🙏🏼 He’s so full of himself 🤮 I remember when he went down to Dover & said the RNLI was a "taxi service” what a disgusting thing to say about volunteers who put themselves @ risk saving life @ sea!!! I have respect & admiration for everyone manning those life boats 👏🏼
It's absolutely true. Picture the scene. The first twelve miles of open sea are French territorial waters, and it is up to the French border authorities and lifeboat provision to save lives at sea in those twelve miles. But, astonishing as it may seem, those French waters must be as calm as a millpond, because no interventions are made to rescue these poor people in dinghies! As soon as the dinghies cross the imaginary line into British waters, though, the sea is as choppy as hell, and the lives of all those people are at immediate risk, as are the lives of those brave men who man the lifeboats.
This is a curious marine and meteorological phenomenon that only occurs in the English Channel - one side of an imaginary line like a millpond, the other side instantly requiring the rescue of lives put in peril on the open sea!
Or could it perhaps be that this is just bullsh*t, and the RNLI is being abused as a "taxi service"? After all, it saves the dinghies travelling 24 miles when they only need to travel the first twelve, and the people are picked up twelve miles out! There is one difference, of course. This taxi service is completely free to the users of the taxi service!
He is all about self-promotion and knows exactly how to tap in and trigger certain people.

Wow. Just Wow.
Brexit is working… name me a screenshot of any benefit we have that has been beneficial since leaving the EU Nigle. There isn't one.
French have continued to invest which drives productivity. We stopped along time ago.

He seems to be arguing that "brexit" is this "other thing", a separate entity, outside of .... what?
Outside the European Union. It's not that tricky to understand.

Thanks Liz. A good video
Ask one of the lorry drivers waiting 5 to 22 hours to bring goods into the UK if its working while he has to walk 2 miles to get a bite to eat as UK Government only provide a plastic cup of water. Go on Nigel ask these guys they should know.

Yeah...make it make sense Nigel 😂
So vrexit is working but it's failing because we haven't delivered it? That sounds like he's arguing against brexit to me.
We are only getting more exports because we export more gas from the north sea to Europe to make up for Russian gas........the rest of our exports are massively down.
The man who promised things despite not being in a position to deliver them, even if he wanted to. Shows you how gullible the brexit voters are.

Good on them, if they can achieve a higher productivity in half a day than a brit can´t even reach in a full day. Who is the fool?
And they eat better food lol
Ask him to list 5 thinks positive about Brexit.
I am more than happy to do that for you. Leaving the EU has preserved, and in fact restored, sovereign independence and representative democracy in the face of the threat to both posed by European federalism. There are four possible ways in which the European Union could collapse, all of which the EU is heading straight for, due to its own arrogance and megalomaniac stupidity:
1. Revolt by its member states' politicians, for example against fixed migrant quotas. Poland, Hungary and the Netherlands have already told the EU to get stuffed on this issue.
2. Revolt by its member states' peoples, against the imposition of a federal government they can never vote into or out of office. There is absolutely no democratic mandate for this, but the EU wants economic union, the final stepping stone before political union, complete by 2027. This could lead to rioting, violence and wars of independence.
3. War with Russia. Lisbon Treaty Article 42 commits member states to the military defence of a member state under attack. And the EU wants Ukraine in by 2030.
4. The Islamification of Europe, orchestrated by the European Union (per the Euro-Mediterranean Project, in effect since 2010).
These are all coming straight down the track, and one or more of these will cause the demise of the EU within the next few years. The EU is a dead man walking.
Yeah divide and conquer always works Liz Webster.

Liz Webster I'm Australian good ole Nigel farage has done us Australians a favour. Our Australian farms are far larger than the UK.
He blames the conservative party...ummm...but at the time of brexit he quit politics..."i need time for my family"
He refrain from taking responsability on Brexit as the aim is to keep mouning about the others and blame them for it.
That is what He is going to do when he gets the seat.
It was the Tory government who loused up the Leave negotiations. Farage wasn't involved.
But rivers are fully fertilized.
Who cares?
We don't.

@@minui8758 "Most of us hope we manage to reverse the decision"
The effects of Brexit can't all be reversed. O, joining again will take at least 15-20 years!
I can't see that Brexit has done anything to help service industries.
If they happen to be saving our bacon at the moment, it's by doing things that could have been done without Brexit. At the same time, exports such as financial services and insurance to the EU, will be doing worse because access is more difficult. Also, businesses that require people to go to EU countries to provide a service will be feeling the pain of loss of freedom of movement. Be it goods, or services, we are doing worse now than we would have done by staying in.
Always vote reform for services . I'm Australian and farage is doing Australia a brilliant favor.
Brexit is getting a bit like capitalism and communism isn't it? No-one has done it properly yet. Unfortunately, in this case we can't say "next time we'll get it right".
