Farage scolds Europe's wrecking crew

In his cover story for last week's Spectator, Fraser described how the Frankfurt Group – which he dubbed 'a new EU hit squad' – has begun imposing it's will on Greece and Italy. In the European Parliament on Wednesday night, Ukip leader Nigel Farage made the same case against them – and quite forecefully, too:

It's now going viral, with over 200,000 views so far.

So with Italy having zero elected politicians within its EU appointed government, led by a former EU Commissioner - Greece also is experiencing the same, with a former head of the European Central Bank (ECB) replacing the former Prime Minister who promised a referendum.. who says history doesn't repeat itself?

Meanwhile, its been uncovered that the German Government and EU have *strangely, ahem* got hold of the 2012 Irish budget which the Irish Prime Minister hasn't even signed off yet.

Merkel tightens grip on eurozone: Why did Irish budget plans end up in Berlin?

-Document circulates revealing next year's budget not yet approved by Irish PM
- Enda Kenny forced into embarrassing denial that his plans were being inspected by Berlin

Fears that Germany’s grip on the eurozone is tightening increased last night after it emerged that details of Ireland’s budget plans were leaked to German politicians. A document circulated in the German Bundestag revealed Dublin’s proposals to save the debt-ridden country £3.25billion. The details were for next year’s budget, which have not yet been approved by the Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny. He was forced into an embarrassing denial that his plans were being inspected in Berlin. Any suggestion that Ireland is running its austerity cuts past Europe’s economic powerhouse for approval will fuel concern that Germany is using its wealth as a lever to amass power over the 17-nation single currency bloc.

Italy, Greece and now Ireland - it'd be like them replacing our government with technocrats led by former EU Commissioner Peter Mandelson as Prime Minister. They might as well, seeing as most of our laws are now made there.

Thoughts? is the EU completely out of control?

There's only so many times you can reply to these threads with the words "undemocratic, corruption, crippling, pointless, wasteful, impersonable"... The lsit is endless. It's a shame I can't just say "look at the other EU related threads to get a generic reply".

So the EU is doing what Western powers did with Gaddafi and Libya, though possibly not to the same extremes?

Is the puppet meant to be someone. It looks familiar but I just can't work it out.

oh. wow. I feel like an idiot now. I think it's the monocle which threw me. The video this time round didn't have the poorly made retort that I've come to love.

To be honest it's just a matter of time before the EU turns it's head and forces us into a very uncomfortable position as to make leaving.. problematic.
