It's very rare that you get these sort of videos as most footage is usually a well prepared speech delievered to a sympathetic audience. This one is different - it's from the Bruges Group (highly influential Tory group wanting out of the EU of which Thatcher was President until her death) and the context is this: it's a meeting hall full of Tory members at the Conservative conference last week in Manchester.
I mention the context because if you watch the video then it speaks volumes at the level of applause and cheers that Farage gets when he attacks not only Cameron but also the Tory Party itself and even the likes of Bill Cash.
I just post for anybody who is really interested as it's a rare and very heated debate of which the context is not UKIP, Labour or the Liberal Democrats - but the activist base and backbenchers of the Conservative Party. I think if you do watch the video, you'll agree with me that it now shows how close the Conservative Party is coming to splitting, especially over the EU issue - much as the Liberal Party split in the late 1800s over the Corn Laws.
If anybody does decide to watch then i'd be interested to hear thoughts. But again, well worth a watch as it's not your standard political speech/meeting and it gives you a real insight into the struggle that's now taking place on the right of British politics.
Speakers are Bill Cash MP, Nigel Farage MEP and Peter Oborne. Cash vs Farage part is the first 40 minutes.
