Nigel Farage frasi celebri

“Ci è stato detto che quando avremmo avuto un presidente, avremmo visto una figura politica gigante e globale – l'uomo che sarebbe stato il leader di 500 milioni di persone, l'uomo che avrebbe rappresentato tutti noi sulla scena mondiale, l'uomo il cui lavoro sarebbe stato così importante che, naturalmente, Lei è pagato più del presidente Obama. beh, ho paura che quello che abbiamo avuto sia Lei. E mi dispiace, ma dopo la precedente performance da Lei fatta – e non voglio essere scortese – ma, sa, onestamente, Lei ha il carisma di uno straccio umido e l'apparenza di un impiegato di banca di basso grado. E la domanda che vorrei porre, che vorremmo porre noi tutti è: "Chi è Lei?" Io non mai sentito parlare di Lei. Nessuno in Europa ha mai sentito parlare di Lei! Vorrei chiederle, Presidente, chi ha votato per lei? E quale meccanismo – oh, lo so che la democrazia non è molto popolare da voi – e quale meccanismo hanno i popoli d'Europa per rimuoverLa? È questa la democrazia europea? Beh, ho la sensazione, tuttavia, che Lei sia competente, capace e pericoloso, e non ho dubbi sul fatto che è sua intenzione essere l'assassino silenzioso della democrazia europea e degli stati nazionali europei. Sembra che Lei abbia un odio per il concetto stesso degli stati nazionali – forse perché Lei proviene dal Belgio, che naturalmente è, per lo più, una non-nazione. Ma da quando ha assunto la carico, abbiamo visto la Grecia ridotta a nient'altro che a un protettorato.”

“Bene, eccoci qui sulla soglia di un disastro finanziario e sociale e in questa sala, oggi, abbiamo i quattro uomini che dovrebbero ritenersi responsabili. Eppure abbiamo ascoltato i discorsi più tediosi e tecnocratici che io abbia mai sentito e continuate a negare, a dispetto di ogni considerazione obiettiva, che l'euro sia un fallimento. E chi è il vero responsabile? Chi è il responsabile tra di voi? Ovviamente la risposta è "nessuno di voi", perché nessuno di voi è stato eletto, nessuno di voi ha in effetti qualsivoglia legittimità democratica per i ruoli di cui siete attualmente incaricati all'interno di questa crisi. E in questo vuoto stato di cose, non certo con riluttanza, è entrata Angela Merkel. E stiamo ora vivendo in un'Europa dominata dalla Germania – qualcosa a cui il progetto europeo avrebbe dovuto, in effetti, prevenire. Qualcosa per cui coloro che ci hanno preceduto hanno pagato caro, con il loro sangue, al fine di evitarla. Io non voglio vivere in un'Europa dominata dalla Germania, né lo vogliono i cittadini europei. […] E non soddisfatti di ciò, avete deciso che anche Berlusconi doveva andare; così lui è stato sostituito dal Signor Monti, un ex-commissario europeo, uno degli architetti di questo euro-disastro e un uomo che non era nemmeno un membro del Parlamento. Sta diventando come un racconto di Agatha Christie, dove stiamo cercando di capire chi sarà la prossima persona ad essere fatta fuori. La differenza è che sappiamo chi sono i criminali. Voi dovete essere tutti ritenuti responsabili per ciò che avete fatto. Dovreste essere tutti licenziati. E devo dire, Signor Van Rompuy, 18 mesi fa, quando ci siamo incontrati per la prima volta, mi sono sbagliato sul suo conto. Avevo detto che sarebbe stato l'assassino silenzioso della democrazia degli stati nazionali, ma non più, lei è piuttosto rumoroso a proposito, non è così? Lei, un uomo non eletto, si è recato in Italia dicendo: "L'Italia ha bisogno di riforme, non di elezioni". Cosa, in nome di Dio, Le dà il diritto di dire questo al popolo italiano?”

“Ho deciso di dimettermi da leader dello UKIP. La vittoria del "leave" al referendum significa che ho raggiunto le mie ambizioni politiche. Sono entrato in questa battaglia arrivando dal mondo del lavoro perché volevo che tornassimo a essere una nazione auto-governata, non per diventare un politico di professione.”

“As you are well aware, the last time the people of this country were given a say on membership of the European Union was back in 1975. This must have been a factor in your thinking when, in 2007, you gave a “cast-iron guarantee” to hold a referendum if you became Prime Minister. Since that promise, however, your message on the issue has been confusing and misleading. You say the time is not right but refuse to clarify when the time will be right. You believe that leaving would not be in our best interests and an in/out referendum is flawed because it offers a “single choice”. In last week’s Sun poll, almost 70 per cent of voters said they would like a referendum. In the same poll, a clear majority said they would like to leave the EU and yet your plans would deny them that opportunity. I believe the British people, along with many of your own backbench MPs, want and deserve a straight in/out choice in a referendum. I propose a public debate between us where we can put our respective cases forward. My challenge to you is an open and honest one and I hope you will afford me, and the people of this country, a proper say on the matter.”

“And what is the reaction of the British political class? Well the Lib Dems, still think that the Euro is a success! I don't quite think where Cleggy gets this from, I don't know. Perhaps he is considering an alternative career as a stand up comedian, once he's out of politics.”
