The Ron Paul of Europe: Nigel Farage Nails the Eurocrats for the Disaster They Have Caused

Nigel Farage was elected to the European Union's parliament. He is an opponent of the European Union. He is eloquent in his verbal attacks. Here is his background. From Wikipedia:

Nigel Paul Farage MEP, is a British politician and is the Leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), a position he previously held from September 2006 to November 2009. He is a current Member of the European Parliament for South East England and co-chairs the Eurosceptic Europe of Freedom and Democracy group.

Farage was a founding member of the UKIP, having left the Conservative Party in 1992 after they signed the Maastricht Treaty. Having unsuccessfully campaigned in European and Westminster parliamentary elections for UKIP since 1994, he gained a seat as an MEP for South East England in the 1999 European Parliament Election -- the first year the regional list system was used -- and was re-elected in 2004 and 2009. Farage describes himself as a libertarian and rejects the notion that he is a conservative.

Other members of the Eurporan Parliament never are this confrontational. Here, h mails them for overturning the elected leaders of European governments.

The Eurocrats lie. They know they are lying. Farage tells them to their faces that they are lying, and that the eurozone is blowing up under their noses.

Like Ron Paul in 2007, who warned what was going to happen in 2008 (and had sounded the warning years before), Farage also called it, and he called it over a year before the eurozone began to unravel.

Like Paul, he can say, "I told you so, and I told you why." And he does. The Establishment hates him for this. It cannot shut him up.
