Brexit "Leave" leader Farage of UKIP's obnoxious speech to the Ministers of the European Parliament



He's just a right wing jerk with a kind of to-hell-with-everybody-else attitude. Will borrow talking points from anywhere: Blames Greece's problems on the euro (a familiar refrain among the regressive left). Says the ministers are not job creators (sound familiar?) and they've never had a real job. It's painful to listen to but there it is.

UK is melting.

These are strange times.



(BTW I don't know anything about this Youtube channel, it seems to be for an economic talk radio guy. He was on with Jon Stewart so maybe he's not too horrible.)

If the away slapped huge tariffs and travel restriction on the UK and named them the Farage tariffs and limits. Guy was a total ass and was just begging for the away to deal more harshly with the U.K. Winning is more inportant than doing right by your country to this brand of Cons.
