The fourth Reich?

By scrubber | Published: November 16, 2011
The Daily Mail, in classic “Hun-baiting” fashion has had a pop at the Germans today. Entitled “Europe speaks German now!“, it centres on comments made by one Volker Kauder who is one of Angela Merkel’s closest allies. He is, in fact, the parliamentary leader of Merkel’s CDU party and he made the comments in a [...]

The Brussels Bunglers have no Plan B

By scrubber | Published: June 29, 2011
As the tragedy of Greek debt continues, the EU leaders, as can be seen in the following video, openly admit that there is no Plan B. Their only option, the only one they have considered and will consider, is another bail-out. This despite the fact that the previous one didn’t work (and nor will this [...]

Nigel Farage and the Star-spangled Banner

By scrubber | Published: May 12, 2011
I’ve read a lot of criticism of Nigel Farage lately, specifically about his abilities as leader of UKIP. He is, it is oft-alleged, holding the party back, and treating it as a personal fiefdom. That may, or may not, be true, but you can’t help admiring the way he sticks it up those Socialist totalitarians [...]

Rumpy-Pumpy: hypocrite? Moi?

By scrubber | Published: March 17, 2011
Second hat-tip of the day to Daniel Hannan. This time, for a great article, containing two excellent film clips. The first of the excellent Nigel Farage roasting Rumpy again, and the second of a Belgian MEP, Derk-Jan Eppink – of whom I have been in blissful ignorance, to be fair – who really does a [...]

A Christmas message to the Euro-parliament from Nigel Farage.

Y’know, this man is amazing. Just watch the Belgian squirm, and at the end, the side shot of Barroso laughing. Shameful: Wikio Wikio

Hannan vs Farage in the European Parliament

By scrubber | Published: December 15, 2010
There are many out there who criticise Nigel Farage for his speeches in the European Parliament just as there are many out there who, like me, admire him for them. As we all know, he’s been hauled over the coals in the past by the Powers-That-Be, and taken a great deal of stick in the [...]

Daniel Hannan, Nigel Farage, and UKIP.

By scrubber | Published: November 30, 2010
Ok, voting intention/Party loyalty cards on the table (regular readers will know this anyway)… Here’s what I said on the matter back on May 5th: Here in Ipswich, as I’ve covered elsewhere, I’m urging everyone to vote for Ben Gummer, the Conservative candidate. Not because I support his policies, which in many cases I don’t, but [...]

Who the hell do you people think you are?

By scrubber | Published: November 29, 2010
I meant to post this up a couple of days ago, but ran out of time. Nigel Farage tells the EU Parliament a few home truths. Cracking, classic Farage. Enjoy: Wikio Wikio

UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom escorted form the European Parliament Chamber

By scrubber | Published: November 25, 2010
Most of you will have heard by now that Godfrey Bloom was thrown out of the chamber of the European Parliament yesterday after being gratuitously rude to the Euro-Socialist leader, Martin Schulz. Mr. Shulz was claiming that the UK was standing in the way of European integration, and Mr. Bloom, unable to contain himself, burst [...]
