General Discussion
A normal descent person who sticks up for the people. Unlike the rest of the UK politicians.
He is the only politician that I know that can command the attention of his audiience and talks sense. When ever he stands to make a speech in the EU Parliament, there is usually stunned silince and quite often others there agree with him, not like our Parliamentt who seem to have imploded on themselves.
The first video posted shows the man speaking for himself.
The second video just shows his opponents talking a lot of non-sense and shows some sound bites of him that have been edited to change the context.
Nigel Farage for PM.
Can't be arsed to waste 11 minutes of my life watching an anti-Brexit video narrated by that luvvie Stephen Fry.
What a surprise! I was going to post with the video that Brexiteers wouldn't have the attention span of 11 minutes but I thought that was too harsh .... !!!!
Farage doesn't care about "the people". Brexit is the defintiion of turkeys voting for Christmas!
Saw Alision foden at the polling STATION with a lib-dem and european union flag............obviously believing the voterS are going to vote lib dem so that we stay in the EU..... another party not living in the real world.
I'm still waiting to find an MP who truly does. Until we get a country that has a well-balanced mix of socialism and capitalism and whilst we allow politicians to have interests in companies that will benefit directly from legislation then we are far from where we should be. We have millionaires who fail at business and cause thousands of job losses but walk away still a millionaire whilst feeling little affect from that failed business whilst the social security system has to then pick up the pieces. In most cases, these people are knighted or have honours.
To see people again fooling for the right wing lies is so f***ing depressing. People being fed lies and they don't even realise it. I would love philosophy and critical thinking to be taught in schools. That would help give the next generation the tools to not fall for the lies that the world is fed constantly by unscrupulous individuals and organisations.
The European Union was set up to ensure there was no repeat of what lead to WW2 and to end dictatorships in Europe and drive out the far right. I'm not saying the EU doesn't have issues, all big organisations do but extracting ourselves isn't the answer. I'm the traitor for not wanting to "take back our country" but the EU was set up to protect people and the economic stability of Europe.
Sorry rant over, it's just heart-breaking to see what this country is becoming. Not sure if I answered your question @Paul :-)
