Nigel tells it like it is

Meanwhile that imbecile Barroso just sits there with a stupid grin on his face

The first vid relates to the text in the article, second vid is a bit older, but they both hit the nail on the head.

All good stuff. I particulatly liked...

//No matter that your country, very poorly advised by Goldman Sachs, joined a currency that it was never suited to.
And you can't admit that joining the Euro was a mistake because Mr Papandreou did that didn't he. He even said there should be a referendum in Greece, and within 48 hours the unholy Trinity that now run this European Union had him removed and replaced by an ex-Goldman Sachs employee puppet. //

I'm guessing UKiP won't be getting a donation from Goldman Sachs.

I liked it ! No mumbo jumbo ! No long winded excuses. Straight down the line.
Greece taking the presidency just about sums up what the EU is all about.

[ChillDoubt]

Nothing like a straight talker! If only other politicians were as honest, open and forthright.

[youngmafbog]

As you say, both hit the nail on the head.

He certainly tells it as it is - love it - and true.

[emmie]

as true a statement as ever i heard, of course for a time the Greek government, people did very well - then came the not so stunning realisation that one has to pay for things, not just borrow money ad infinitum. Some Greek friends tell me that it was the worse thing they ever did in adopting the Euro, their cost of living went through the proverbial roof, and now they see that aligning themselves with Germany, France, isn't necessarily a good thing, not to mention many other EU nations, trade is one thing we are all clear on, we want to do it, but not be served by one master, if we ever get into the position of adopting the euro, then this country will sink for good into an abyss for which there is no return.

Think a conservative/ukip coalition might shake this country up.

[emmie]

won't happen as UKIP won't get the votes, likely scenario a Labour/Lib dem pact.

Seriously? I fully expect the Lib Dems to pretty much disappear without trace at the next election, Clegg's u turn on fees has ensured that and his party will reap the whirlwind for it in March 2015.

I expect the LibDems to lose half of their seats, but that will still be a lot more seats than UKiP will win. I expect UKiP to come second in a lot of constituencies.

The question that must be asked is do you trust Labour with the economy, immigration, and Europe? So lets hope for 2015 we can see a Tory/UKIP coalition.

/// According to YouGov Labour now trails the Conservatves as the best party on the economy by 5 points, (26 vs. 31) as compared with just one point at the end of 2012 (27 vs. 28). When personalities are mentioned the gap between the two parties seems to be wider – and to have grown. ///

/// According to ICM 39% trust Cameron and Osborne more to run the economy compared with 23% who back Miliband and Balls. At the end of 2012 the gap on this question was 35% to 24%. YouGov report that Osborne is regarded as the better Chancellor than Balls by 32% to 22% now – compared with a lead of just 28% to 26% in May. Meanwhile MORI state that Osborne is now regarded as the more capable Chancellor by 40% to 29% - whereas a year ago the two were evenly tied on 34% each. ///

I wonder what the public opinion would be if the same survey asked

"Would you trust a Conservative/UKiP coalition with anything? "

I expect not many would.

And would we Gromit expect you to think any differently.

[Gromit]

A Conservative/UKiP alliance is not the Dream ticket.

Nor is a Labour/libDem for that matter.

[emmie]

i don;t think it will be a full out Labour victory either. that's why i said it could be a Lab/Lib Dem coalition
