    Nigel Farage, UKIP: what an EU parliamentarian!

    See this collection from Youtube of him in action. While not defending his party's aims, and while I will be voting YES on Thursday, I'm very glad that I, as an EU citizen, have this fine orator batting for the citizens in the EP.

    See here for him speak on Lisbon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXsUejfqAgw

    And here, on the Barosso Commission: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWSYMpuC ... re=related

    And, tackling Tony Blair at an EU hearing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grLmZGlz ... re=related

    He actually is a very impressive debater, and I worryingly find a lot of what he says to be perfect sense. Were he in a mainstream Party he'd go very far.

    Here he is, ripping Guy Verhofstadt to pieces on Belgian disintegration and Euronationalism. Well worth a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bdTU1ko ... re=related

    As far a this goes he is on the button
    [FONT=&quot]"You Popish rogue" 'ní leomhaid a labhairt sinn
    acht "Cromwellian dog" is focal faire againn
    nó "cia súd thall" go eann gan eagla
    "Mise Tadhg" géadh teinn an t-agallamh

    Bodaigh an Cháise táid go hatuireach
    ag filleadh ar a gcéird gach spéice smeartha aca
    gan ghunna, gan chloidheamh gan pinnse chleachtadar
    d'imthigh a mbrígh is tá an cridhe dá ghreada aca.[/FONT]

    On his blog he claims the Independence and Democracy Group "have sent a mailshot to every house in Ireland outlining what they stand to lose with this treaty".

    Not taking anything away from him but has anybody received this?

    The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.

    I take it he means that if you've received a mailshot from Kathy Sinnot, you've received one from him. I had no idea Ms Sinnot was involved with the UKIP to this extent. According to wikipedia, she co-leads that section of the EP with Nigel Farage. As for him, he's the most impressive political speaker I've heard in yonks.

    Everyone interested in the Lisbon Treaty should watch the clips I've linked to above.

    Didn't receive anything from Kathy Sinnott either and I've just checked a folder of Lisbon related literature that I've been keeping. A folder that may be worth referring to again in the future

    Great clips btw.

    Yep, very good political speaker. I was driven to watch more of his stuff the first time I saw him addressing the referendum issue.
