Transcript:
Good morning, Mr van Rompuy,
You've been in office for one year and in that time the whole edifice is beginning to crumble, there's chaos, the money's running out - I should thank you; you should perhaps be the pin-up boy of the Eurosceptic movement.
But just look around this chamber, this morning. Just look at these faces. Look at the fear. Look at the anger. Poor old Barroso here looks like he's seen a ghost.
They're begining to understand that the game is up and yet in their desperation to preserve their dream, they want to remove any remaining traces of democracy from the system. And it's pretty clear that none of you have learnt anything.
When you yourself, Mr van Rompuy, say that the euro has brought us stability. I suppose I could applaud you for having a sense of humour, but isn't this, really, just the bunker mentality?
Your fanaticism is out in the open. You talked about the fact that it was a lie to believe that the nation state could exist in the 21st Century globalised world. Well, that may be true in the case of Belgium, who haven't had a government for six months, but for the rest of us, right across every member state in this Union - and perhaps this is why we see the fear in the faces - increasingly people are saying, 'We don't want that flag. We don't want the anthem. We don't want this political class. We want the whole thing consigned to the dustbin of history.'
And we had the Greek tragedy earlier on this year, and now we have this situation in Ireland. Now I know that the stupidity and greed of Irish politicians has a lot to do with this. They should never ever have joined the euro. They suffered with low interest rates, a false boom and a massive bust.
But look at your response to them. What they're being told, as their government is collapsing, is that it would be inappropriate for them to have a general election. In fact Commissioner Rehn here said they had to agree their budget first before they'd be allowed to have a general election.
Just who the hell do you think you people are?
You are very very dangerous people, indeed. Your obsession with creating this Euro state means that you're happy to destroy democracy. You appear to be happy for millions and millions of people to be unemployed and to be poor. Untold millions must suffer so that your Euro dream can continue.
Well it won't work. Because it's Portugal next, with their debt levels of 325% of GDP, they're the next ones on the list, and after that I suspect it will be Spain. And the bailout for Spain would be seven times the size of Ireland's and at that moment all of the bailout money has gone - there won't be anymore.
But it is even more serious than economics. Because if you rob people of their identity. If you rob them of their emocracy, then all they are left with is nationalism and violence. I can only hope and pray that the Euro project is destroyed by the markets before that really happens.

This man is magic, lay down some truth on them.
I'm speechless. Thank god there is someone left with common sense.
Blessings to you Nigel from Finland!.
I`M NOT ENGLISH BUT I LOVE NIGEL FARAGE HE`S COURAGE AND EVERYTHING HE STANDS FOR A TRUE HERO OF THE WORLD PLEASE BE VERY PROUD OF HIM ENGLAND !!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOU NIGEL.X
THE TRUTH !!!
Det här kommer att bli en klassiker. Så jävla bra! Vilket patos, vilken passion!
Awesome!
The best scene: Nigel Farage "The game is up" + view on Baroso with anger and sad face! Epic!
It's not about left and right anymore - It's about right and wrong.
Who would Churchill find himself voting for in 2014 and 2015 ?
Bring back the British Sausage.
Say a resounding NO to the EU and reclaim your country for the Brits.
Wow! Awesome speech!
The only politician that cares about Britain is Nigel.
omg I just found my favorite brit.....honest outspoken and that dark sence of humor I love so much.....hehe props to nigel.
great to see this verbalized with fervor and meaning, especially with a British accent.
great speech,
We need this in the US.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's no coincidence that the richest countries in Europe are Norway and Switzerland, the two countries to continually reject EU membership in favour of simple trade agreements. It's also no coincidence that the countries who's economies underwent the most catastrophic collapses were all Southern European Eurozone countries. Spain, Greece and Portugal are now probably facing decades of economic devastation thanks to Euro project.
And then you have Germany, one of the few countries in favour of ever closer union, and the country who calls all the shots. I wonder if that might have something to do with them having the strongest manufacturing sector, which draws all the talent from across the whole of Europe, decimating manufacturing everywhere else! The entire Euro project is centred around the Germans' ability to make and sell as many luxury cars as they possibly can, and it's killing the rest of us!
I felt proud watching this, and I'm an American. I see what's happening in Europe and it's starting to happen here. That is, unchecked liberalism that destroys the very fabric of what we are made of in the name of unity and peace and acceptance.
shame the brits did not vote for him
I got the pleasure of meeting Mr Farage today and he's an awesome bloke! got his autograph too!
vote ukip
Vote Reform!
Iam American and I feel very happy tht there's ppl like him in Europe to!! The elites have drawn the lst straw
The music at the end is that the sowjet hyme ?
It's one of the propaganda songs. "Red army is stronger than all".
Yes it's up; we have to topple this tower of Babylon before it'll crush us all. Christmass Greetings from Poland.
God I wish we had a man of his calibre in Irish Politics
Why can't Sweden have a politician like this?
Wonderfull.witty,wise and HONEST!!
THEY could learn from him but they will not.
Jerzy Ulicki-Rek
I don't even live in the UK...I am an American. This guy Nigel reminds me of our most patriotic official Ron Paul! Too bad there are not more like these two guys!
This filled my heart with optimism, and God knows the last current events haven't given us many reasons to rejoice for the short term.
Oh Nigel...you are funny, sarcastic and deadly serious at the same time. I do adore you! I want you for Prime Minister for sure.
This moved me to tears. I hope brilliant, courageous leaders like Mr. Farage inspire the desperate, silent masses to stand up and be counted before Orwell's dark vision is realized.
I like this Farage guy. He tells it like it is without equivocations. An excellent speaker, too. You can see which members adhere to the "Bunker mentality" as the camera pans their faces.
@Sp3ckledJim yes, Jim ... not for money! We could definitely use more politicians who have this kind of boldness, truth telling, and true patriotism! I watched several of Nigel's RUclipss after this one.... the man is incredible. Cheers to the UK Independence Party!
"In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell.
Nigel, you are creating a revolution indeed. God bless you, and thank you. We plebs are simply stunned and not used to hearing the words of a TRUE politician, elected by the people and FOR the people. It's almost a foreign concept to us in these dark times.
Farage is a good speaker; he's to the point and his speech is just over three minutes; good work!
Best political Speach EVER And WTF I didn't even know this guys name, he's a hero! Spread the word, make some music!
Well spoken of this man, what a true hero this man is.
Someone which truly understands how much damage the euro has done and will be done.
The best i've heard in the last years, He is totally right and i'm from Portugal.
Best Regards
speaking truth to power. fair play to the man. not a smattering of the smug I-told-You-So sneering we've heard from other quarters. Excellent speech.
We need guys like this in Ireland PRONTO!!!
Rock'n' Roll, Baby!
as a European living in the States....
Nigel is my hero.
(besides Ron Paul of course)
The only British politician with any of the courage he was born with! Nigel stands up and speaks the sensible truth to these anti-democratic fiends.
I LOVE when a politician tells it like it is!!!!!!
I love this guy - I'd vote for him if he was my MEP! ALL he said was soooo true! Surprised they didn't throw him out of the chambers!
WELL DONE, NIGEL!! Canada watching with interest, fearing this kind of global madness could happen in North America..
Nationalism (from the word:nation=people of certain national=ethnic descent) is a kind of politics that entails giving the management of a nation's affairs to people who have the deepest national consciousness,strongest feelings of national duties and responsibility for their nation and finally the broadest understanding of their nation's standing and tasks.That is National Politics.This is what the Polish NATIONAL MOVEMENT's founder Roman Dmowski wrote in his book 'Przewrót/Upheaval'.
Wonderful stuff Nigel....
Having someone 'top notch' like Farage in the EU really emphasizes just what mediocrities we have in government!!!! This is madness!!!
What can we do to get Nigel Farage to come to the US and run for president. We can get the constitution amended.
Ron Paul-U.S. President
Nigel Farage-Prime Minister of the U.K.
What a great new world those two could create. One can can dream right : )
Nigel Farage, THANK YOU! Excellent message. When are you coming to the US?
Amazing....pure silk
well I must say this person kept an amazing and powerful 3-minute speech which surely rouse some talk in EU parlament and in the people. Who said politics were boring and grey subject ? That is bullshit.
Legendary.
Nigel "The Beast" Farage, MEP!
@1411tpap Well said. Finally a voice of reason on here.
Song used at the end: Red Army, Black Baron.
Белая армия,чёрный барон
Снова готовят нам царский трон,
Но от тайги до британских морей
Красная Армия всех сильней.
Wight Army, Black Baron
A thron for the King start to prepair,
But still from Cybiria to British seas,
Red Soviet Army is truly the mitiest.
Close translation tried to make it sound good...well i tried 8P.
Question...why this song?)) Or it was chosen randomly...
Well said you are saying what most English people are thinking if we brought the call up back the country would empty overnight
Nigel Farage -- would that he would visit us here in the United States and give us his take on the people running our government! What a speaker! Too few people here even know his name.
Worst part is Anglo Irish Bank who caused all this shit in Ireland (where I am from) were a PRIVATE company. They begged our government to save them, putting billions on the tax payer, our spineless incompetent government went to Europe and asked "what do we do?" & Europe said, well you better back them because we have invested money in that bank, and so the Irish people have to pay billions to save a PRIVATE company because Europe will loose its gambling dept if they fall.
Hurrah for Mr. Farage from a Stateside Euroskeptic & UN-skeptic! Both will crumble under their own incompetence and the world will be a better place for it.
Wow - Why isn't this guy President of something? Its amazing that someone just came out and said it like it is...no more rose coloured glasses - Wow - he's got my vote!
'All of the bailout money has gone...'
This man speaks the truth.
Take a bow, Sir!
@420shooter thanks for the specifics, actually I was referring to Lincoln, he also issued treasury greenbacks, and paid with his life. There is an excellent video documentary entitled "1932-speak not of parties but of universal principles" it's 90 mins long, and I found it on Lyndon LaRouche site, and is also on youtube. I think it is one of the most important history lessons for the 21st century, because it explains what America is about
@SatchmoSings The expression the Brits normally use is Hear! hear! The difference is possibly a little subtle for you to grasp Satchmo :-)
Wow - Why did we not elect this guy to run the UK??? He is amazing
@meerkw No the EU is not a dictatorship. It has a democratic parliament, which all Europeans can vote for. Indeed it is this very parliament that gives Farage his platform to speak. It was to prevent the kind of dictatorships that destroyed lives of millions in the early part of the 20th century that the ECSC was formed.
well done!!!!
Hes totally 100% right! This was spoken a year ago! Look at it now!
I do not like to admit this, but Mr Farage is right, I wish we would have more outspoken politicians in Germany, I am certainly fed up with the Euro, the Euro politics and the constant interfering in national politics
HIS WORDS HOLD MORE POWER THAN THE WHOLE OF THE EURO PARL COMBINED.
The North American Union. Ignorance is bliss, liberty and freedom the cost. The illusion of liberty and freedom is alive and well in America. This man speaks truth. Thumbs up!
Lisa, USA
Aos 2:30: "Portugal next!...They are the next ones of the list!"
I am Portuguese and in Potugal no one doubts that we really are the netx ones too!
Nigel was 100% correct on his assessment of the E.U. But he's fighting the good fight to finally get these bastards to allow England to leave the E.U.
Well said bravo.
this man is unbelievable!
this man is my idol
Where the hell did you get this footage?
Wikileaks would be proud of this!
Thanks for sharing....
:D
@slinfold1 Norway essentially lives on its huge natural resources. The UK hasn't got these resources. And Switzerland is forced to make many concessions to the EU, for example on north / south transit routes, and that now EU citizens can work there without special visa requirements. Both Norway and Switzerland are signed upto Schengen. And I think quite a few Brits living in other EU countries might not appreciate work permits being introduced.
@Jenjenilou I thought we were at opposite ends of the nationalist / federalist spectrum, and would never see eye to eye. I never thought you would so openly support a neo-Nazi. Speaks volumes for you.
I came for politics and stayed for the music at the end. :D
@cmillerpa33 Theyre normally smug and smiling here but every so often we get to see a master piece like this. Nigel has really cut to the bone in this speech. The smug smiling faces just makes you hate them more but their realization that everything hes saying is true is very satisfying here :)
Please, clone this man, make his clone an American, and have him run for our office of President.
This world needs more Nigel Farages.
Meanwhile during a debate in Congress, someone read Dr. Suess books as a filibuster.
I find myself screaming; "Go Nigel, Go Nigel " while watching him. What a guy!!!!
@SatchmoSings In Saxon times the Penny was a gold coin with the purchasing power of over £200 - subsequently after much shrinking it was debased to silver and in 1797 it was a huge copper coin, now the Penny is debased to being similar to a US cent.
Who would contend that in my lifetime as population has grown from under 2B to just short of 7Billion currency has become more valuable when only 8-10% of money is in the form of printed or minted money whilst the balance is fraudulent debasement.
if there ever was an EU presidential election NIGEL is my man
Part 1: "A last good idea consists of wanting to preserve part of the Constitution and CAMOUFLAGING this by distributing it among several texts. The more innovative provisions [of the Constitution] would be simple amendments to the Nice and Maastricht treaties. The technical improvements would be gathered together in a bland and uncontroversial treaty..." -Valerie Giscard dEstaing, President of the Convention which wrote the EU Constitution
Thank God for Nigel! Brexit Party gets my vote, come what may!
Thumbs up for replay =)
1 word, WOW!. what a great speech. There is still hope because of the internet, untill they shut it down(internet 2)we the people can make videos go viral! more people today say "have u seen that clip on youtube" than "did you watch the news today?". Start reposting stuff like this so we have hope. n ty for posting.
Why were the Banks told not quote Not to invest into Spain?? When they were in financial difficulties?? Enlighten me and the Spanish people and the rest of the citizens of Europe
Tell it like it is!
Nigel Farage is the next V from vendetta.his got huge balls he tells them the way things are and they will like those secrets never to be revealed.Kudos to Nigel.
Gilad Atzmon said "Giving a state to the Jews was a stupid idea
But to keep supporting it is no less than sinister!
The world better wake up and face the Israeli crime."
@DeathToLiberalism One of the best comments ever here on RUclips. Thanks!
@Redhotts THIRTY Years!? It all started with Lyndon Johnson's "Guns & Butter" of Vietnam and "The Great Society."
Remember, it was in 1965 that the US started to remove real silver coins from circulation; one dollar's worth (face value) of silver coinage, pre-1965, is now worth TWENTY-TWO dollars!!!!
How the American people have stood for this steady erosion of the dollar (and this is ignoring how the dollar shrunk 2.5 times in the ten years after WWII) is quite beyond me.
Excellent
What's happening in Europe with the bailouts of member states, is going to be happening soon in the US with the bailouts of states. In about 6 months, the Stimulus funds will run out, and many states won't be able to meet their bond payments. So, it's either default, or get bailed out by the Federal government.
That No.23 'al get you everytime! ;-)
May God Bless and Protect Nigel Farage forever and ever AMEN!!!
@NeverMindTheBLX I bow to your superior knowledge of the content of British papers & the popular stereotypes as I do not read British newspapers deriving much of my news from international media.
I totally repudiate the obscenity of The EU arrogating their belief of what is in my interest when I & most in my country have so little in common with Continental EU & as a member of one of the least prejudiced societies I resent the lectures & impositions of those I hold in contempt such as yourself.
Say what you like about Farage, he's a wonderful orator, isn't he?
On another note, even he would have to admit the European Union's not all bad - the fact he's allowed a platform to make this type of defamatory speech without interruption is a great example of free speech and democracy.
Gotta love farage :') cracks me up! :p I agree with him though, not on some issues but this one I do, which is why, whenever i need to vote i'll be voting UKIP :)
