The EU is a disaster. You have Norway having trouble with Denmark when it comes to trading salmon, pork and potatos. Norway and DK have always been friends and the EU fucks it all up.

All political parties have racists hidden within their party; if UKIP were indeed racist then I wouldn't vote for them. However, Nigel Farage is a strong advocate of educated and qualified British Commonwealth citizens, whatever their skin colour, receiving priority over white eastern Europeans when it comes to moving to the UK. He has clearly stated on many occasions that it's quality over quantity. He recently said on TV that professionals from India and the Caribbean who can contribute to this country's economy should be given preference over eastern Europeans. One of the reasons I'm voting UKIP is so that we can get uncontrolled (white) eastern European immigration back under control.

@Wizborg 9 лет назад

Well said. I'm sick of all these people buying into the propaganda, and spouting the crap they do without even looking into Ukip's policies or watching interviews with them.

@autofreak7 9 лет назад

then why is he cornering the gov't on allowing students here on visa to study in the UK?

@MrRedcarpet02 9 лет назад

autofreak7 Because that is a tactic used as a backdoor for illegal immigration. A large number of people on student visas 'dissapeared'' after arriving into the UK & the paper trail ends. So obviously that system needs a huge overhaul.

@ronnieswoleman4290 10 лет назад

***** "they are at best, exaggerated torys, which is the last thing this country needs." Said like someone who doesn't understand politics. They're more like a cross between 1970's Labour and 1990's torys, with the anti-Eu vibe of both of those eras combining.

@ronnieswoleman4290 10 лет назад

***** "In what way is cutting public services, increasing foreign defense spending, massive tax cuts for the rich and giving banker less regulation in anyway similar to 70's Labour?" Said like someone who is deliberately leaving out the 90s conservative part of the quote. In addition to misrepresenting me, you've also misrepresented UKIPs policies. Ask yourself a question. Why do you think making a strawman makes your position better? Are you really just lying to yourself? Maybe you should re-consider your arguments, because this is just pathetic.

I dont live in the uk, but we also have no benefit from being a part of the eu. we olny lost in a gigantic scale... Its just a scam... and wealthy ppl make profit out of it..

@ohwellgetoverit7038 10 лет назад

start your own political party we started the battle here in the u.k wherever you are from? if the majority of your country support out of e.u i know Britain will support you

@melexdy 10 лет назад

Scott Orpwood They took everything in care. U need 150.000 euro to start a new party. They try very hard to exclude ppl from the decision making...

@ohwellgetoverit7038 10 лет назад

well our country has been stolen from under our feet since we joined what was just meant to be a open market then our political elite gave away powers from london to brussels to the point that we cant even govern the country problem is this lack of unable to govern is just causing more problems and the political elite is unable to see that thats why people are saying enough is enough i do not agree with everything they say but the way i see it the other main three are just sellling us out and yer that's a part of the problem if you start setting limits on who should be in government you will just get people from rich background going the middle class and poor dont get a voice i think it should be rich/middle/poor getting a fair chance on a pure vote system on who would do the best job democracy is a good idea but not when its done based on class we are the same cant remember the amount but to much for the everyday working man and woman

@melexdy 10 лет назад

Scott Orpwood That goes as well in my country too... The gov uses the same lie over and over again: if we leave the eu all hell will break lose!! But we have nothing to gain and so much to lose... I bet u wont find many countries that benefited from the Eu...

@ohwellgetoverit7038 10 лет назад

it sounds like everyone im talking to who are meant to be this pro euro group are actually unhappy 79 percent in a u.k poll supported us to leave the e.u

"... I believe we have the potential to win those elections ..." You were right Nigel!

@jsdevlin1558 10 лет назад

He's libertarian, an idea lost in british politics. It means the state should take a minimalist role in the lives of the people and the people should be able to live how they like, with personal liberty, provided their lifestyle does not hurt the lives of others. It's not a right wing or left wing philosophy, it's a completely different ideal that so far has not been tested and is unknown in our politics.

@robertbones326 8 лет назад

Sounds like Nigel wanted to avoid answering that gay marriage question. To be honest I don't see why anyone would want to get married and if UKIP want to keep it a religious thing that's fine by me. Also it's too bad UKIP doesn't support Nigel on drug liberalisation, the war is so stupid. I don't like UKIPs policy on crime either. Just talks about being tough and showing zero tolerance. We don't need to boost the prison population, community service costs a whole lot less money and is a more fitting punishment for less serious non-violent offenders. For those that do go to prison it should be about work, education and rehabilitation. This is one of things Lib Dems got right.

@fraserclayton7468 7 лет назад

Because UKIP's members, voters and candidates are mostly old, socially conservative, less educated people their views on those issues are pretty backward. It's bizarre that people like Farage and Douglas Carswell are on some issues libertarian when that's the opposite of what their supporters want.

@FlowerTrollSan 6 лет назад

This man survived testicular cancer, a car accident and a plane crash, holy crap.

@SuperMegaUltraPigeon 9 лет назад

I disagree with Nigel on gay marriage, we won't be forcing faiths to marry people they don't want to, because there are already faiths out there who want to. Gay Marriage is already accepted socially and morally, but the one thing missing is that we want it to be acknowledged as a legal concept. It's not marriage, it's gay marriage.

@TotoTom567 10 лет назад

Does starting to be won over by this guy make me right wing? I've always considering myself centrist (Liberal, I guess), and him saying UKIP could be best compared to historical liberals was quite interesting. I disagree that theres not a political spectrum, but I agree that I also find it hard to place UKIP on that spectrum.

@peterjoyfilms 10 лет назад

God don't be taken in.

@stormadams6219 9 лет назад

Juan de Neponucemo Muñoz de Salazar You are completely right. However, I would say that UKIP and the Conservatives are not as identical as you think. I like to think of them as two brothers who were split at birth and moved to different countries: they have the same genes and the same history (in many ways) but they speak differently, have different cultural views, think of society in different ways, and identify with different priorities.

@spanishinsurgent5793 9 лет назад

Storm Adams They are similar from the fascist perspective, they are far closer to conservatives than to fascists, which was the point I'm trying to make, whenever they call them fascists, yes, you may say that their policies are fairly different, put if things had been different since the time of the treaty of Maastricht, the Conservatives could've evolved to be like UKIP

I love it how the only reason people want to get right of the European human rights laws is because the odd criminal takes advantage of them. I would rather them be around and for the odd criminal to exploit them than for a party like UKIP to no doubt reduce human rights.

@ronnieswoleman4290 10 лет назад

So you'd willingly give up your countries sovereignity because you don't like the very party that wants you to be free from Europe centralised control? Are you mentally ill?

@mrdojob 10 лет назад

Ronnie Swoleman Would you want him and his party to decide your human rights? Are you mentally ill?

@ronnieswoleman4290 10 лет назад

mrdojob You already have a party deciding your human rights, and you want to give control of not only that, but also a multitude of other rights and let them be decided by a central European government that doesn't have Britain's best interests at heart. This is the policy of Labour, Lib Dem and Conservatives. If you can't see this then you are indeed mentally ill.

@mrdojob 10 лет назад

Ronnie Swoleman I like the rights that Europe gives us. I don't want a racist party to start getting rid of the rights we have.

@ronnieswoleman4290 10 лет назад

@AliTheAllStar 9 лет назад

While I disagree with the majority of his policies, I admit he is definitely the most charismatic party leader in this upcoming election. Still better than the conservatives too.

@AliTheAllStar 9 лет назад

***** They are bonkers. Leaving the EU would be a disaster and the policies they want to put in place are even worse. They don't want to brutalize the poor as much as the Tories do though and Farage is certainly a strong leader. I just think he's not a very good person.

@AliTheAllStar 9 лет назад

***** I think UKIP are more bonkers than evil. I think the Tories are more evil than bonkers.

@AliTheAllStar 9 лет назад

***** I thoroughly disagree with UKIP but it's honestly hard to tell whether they're just downright bonkers or are actually a lot more sinister. At least with the Tories, you know they're assholes. UKIP are potentially a lot more dangerous as I see it.

@AliTheAllStar 9 лет назад

***** True. Labour are a decaying husk of the party they used to be. The Liberal Democrats offer a reasonable if somewhat flaccid ideology. I would trust them more if I thought they could get a majority government and deliver but as we've seen, they're pretty useless in coalition. The Greens seem like the best choice to me. They are perhaps a little too environment focused but they're the only major party that offers a real alternative as I see it.

@ravon1982 9 лет назад

***** Fair comment.

@S0ldierInArms 10 лет назад

Ah for once there is an interviewer who inst completely biased, and lets Farage discuss and explain his answers. This is quite refreshing after having watched many biased twisted interviews the BBC have performed.

@paulsparey4164 11 лет назад

There is one thing that makes him stand out. He is believable. I was born into a Labour family worked hard and became a Conservative supporter. I have lost confidence in both Labour & Conservatives. Hoping that the Euro 2014 election shows the British public that voting for UKIP is not a waste and will follow suit in general elections of 2015..

@raskinman 10 лет назад

How is it just that people from Romania can work and claim benefits in the UK, when a person from UK cannot go to Romania and get a good job and claim benefits. Furthermore, with a growing population of unemployed youths why does Britain need to allow these people to come and compete with the disenfranchised and unemployed youth.

snaed27 I'm sure the abuse in elderly homes in the UK is lower than the level of corruption that exists in Romania. I suppose also that if a Romanian was to care for elderly in the UK I would encourage the elderly to keep their pounds (plus pennies) hidden.

@unixfreak 11 лет назад

The one benefit of being part of the EU is a lack of tax on European imports. As it stands, the UK makes nothing anymore. If we left the EU over-night, many products would increase in price for both manufacturers and consumers. It doesn't help that Tories are selling off even more of the public sector. UKIP is certainly a lesser of 3 evils, but i'm not convinced on the immigration policies. Bounders and boundaries shouldn't exist in 2013. Why we still have national flags is beyond me.

@beendoneagain 11 лет назад

as Nigel says, when one member leaves the EU it fall down like a house of cards. Have faith my friend.

@dunholm1 11 лет назад

"The UK makes nothing anymore"? We are 1 of the top 3 in aerospace, ditto pharmaceuticals, and car exports are at an all-time high. And UKIP's views on immigration are common sense-a ban on permanent immigration while the situation is reviewed, and any wanting to come here should have a grasp of English and skills this country needs. We already have a surplus of the unskilled and unemployed. You want no borders? So anyone can just walk in and live off the taxpayer? No thanks, that's the EU way.

@XanVer20 11 лет назад

"I agree. They are seen as harmless but destroy families and mental health and are a great harm to a society" Yes to many mentally unstable people take them, i agree. Hence why we need education and research, drugs need to be taken much more seriously but not prohibited.

I like this interview, well done. A decent non-agressive interview with Nigel waxing lyrically on occasion. The UK does benefit a 'little bit' from the EU... but generally UKIP are the party that talks common sense, speak the language of the people and are downright clear in their policies. I am a fully paid up member of UKIP and will be voting for the time being. I encourage anybody who is not vehemently opposed to UKIP to watch more videos and make your own mind up.

I remember having to write about the pros & cons of the EU. Hardest thing I had to do when your in a lecture hall of EU supporters. Also reliant on a EU fanatic lecturer who just might mark you down if you expressed your true thoughts. All I could think of were cons. Even the pros turned out to be cons. To say anything good was like betraying your country. All the books we were given to read was the EU's own publication.

@HereIsScott 10 лет назад

Yes its almost hard to swallow that politics can have a "normal" decent bloke compared to professional snake tongue, stand for everything and nothing, far left types that currently govern our country and our news (BBC).

@theoneheretosty 11 лет назад

"What if that was your son" Thats a good point. If it was my child it would be easier to convince them not to do drugs. If they decided to go against it I would call the police and be therefore them after the 35 years. "I would much rather see them get help" You are not a victim for choosing to do something wrong. Stop excusing this or the problem will never go away. "Drug dealers profit" ... and you would rather the state? When last did you see any state spend money in the way you agree?

@XanVer20 11 лет назад

The problem isn't the drugs, drugs aren't all bad either, people use drugs as an escape from reality and problems, usually addiction forms when you start taking drugs under these circumstances. Putting a heroin addict in prison, and his only crime is being addicted to heroin is inhuman and insane. Good day sir.

@heinerlauter1211 11 лет назад

Nigel is such a political talent, so UKIP really looks like an one man show. Im from Germany, i would vote for him and dont know to much about british politics, but UKIP needs 2 or 3 more "lighthouses". Im so jealous because in Germany theres no important politician against the EU.

@MultiJohn12321 7 лет назад

Nigel: "We need to secure our borders."

@TM-qz8mg 10 лет назад

There's discrimination against competent females, that's a fact. And overall there's manipulation of women for political and geopolitical purposes, across all nations, and it's independent of 'civilization' status (1st, 2d, 3d, etc world classification). That's another fact. The real problems are: the predatory economic model, the migration of power toward extreme monopoly to maybe compensate for the deficient economy model and as substitute for money value, and the failure of political models for the world society we have now. The many laws accumulated over time make it worst.

@TM-qz8mg 10 лет назад

So any female that gets to attain real power, not the mannequin type, should aim to reform THAT. My solution: maintenance of billions of jobs, real economic justice via wealth redistribution and earned money rather than charity to make a stable and productive society that competes by straight forward rules. NO TO MANIPULATION disguised as cultural or ethnical differences.

@jez9999 11 лет назад

10:10 "UKIP as a party takes the same view as Hitchens" - so the libertarian party that believes in individual rights thinks it's a great idea to ban people from putting any drugs into their own bodies. Bit of hypocrisy there?

@theoneheretosty 11 лет назад

I think he is wrong about drugs. There hasnt been a war on drugs. In the UK anyway. If they took drug use seriously and punished the users people would be less inclined to try it.

@theoneheretosty 11 лет назад

"decent people criminal records" Being lenient with criminals is why we are in this mess today. This is a case of Stockholm syndrome. "have to remember they are our sons and daughters" That is exactly why I am concerned. Your side of the argument seems to be saying leave them to it. This is defiantly not the solution. "pump that money into rehab centres" Why do you think Taiwan does not have this problem? Could it be because if you are found with drugs you will go to jail for a long time?

@theoneheretosty 11 лет назад

I dont quite agree with his stance on drugs but on most policies I feel voting for UKIP is a "no brainier".

@theoneheretosty 11 лет назад

"Putting a heroin addict in prison" Answer me this, if you decide to start smoking or take crystal meth is it your fault and are you responsible or is it societies fault? The problem has been identified as drugs. Now the solution is either we fight it or we let it be. My question is simply this, if we legalize drugs would it be morally wrong to introduce a 4 year old to Heroin? Now we can do something about it, alternative is that we cant do anything about it.

@theoneheretosty 11 лет назад

I think you have the wrong idea of prisons. The prisons are meant to deter you from doing something that is accepted to be wrong. We do not criminalize drunk drivers in order to throw them into jail we do it to discourage them from drinking and driving. Initially you will have to throw people into jail to show that you actually mean what you say.

@theoneheretosty 11 лет назад

"after all the prison system is the last real growth industry we have" Let me repeat my previous point to someone here. The reason we criminalize drunk drivers is not to throw drunk drivers to jail it is to prevent drunk drivers from driving while drunk. Initially you will have to throw a few to jail to show that you mean it but ultimately it is used to deter people from using drugs. This is much cheaper than creating a new problem the size of the alcohol and cigarette problem we have now.

Drugs aren't bad, the people taking the drugs are. Period, it take's a level head to take drugs and benefit, something society simply does not understand. Because to a person who can handle it, drugs are beneficial.

@theoneheretosty 11 лет назад

"You're suggesting locking up people who experiment with drugs" Deter people with tough punishments, it will be their choice if they want to go to jail or not. Just because many people do something wrong doesn't mean the solution is to leave them to it.

@creamycurdy 11 лет назад

Decriminalizing the drugs will destroy the criminal drug trade, drugs are only profitable because it is illegal, if heroin was legal today would you take it or others of course not, as individuals we are more than capable of looking after our own bodies

It is possible to dislike and disagree with someone without wishing them any ill-will. You see, the reason that I disagree with gay marriage is not because of any 'hatred' of gay people, but simply because I am convinced of the biblical teaching that it is not allowing Man to fulfill the purpose for which he was created.

it makes a change to see and hear the interviewer ask Nigel questions that are fundamental to his parties belief structures,instead of script written demonising questions which are fully intended to derail and antagonise his persona. Nice one Nigel and plz keep up the good work. ps PLEASE lets see and hear more from your cabinet. Sincerely JF

Because I don't agree with something doesn't make me 'phobic'. I don't like smoking but that doesn't mean that I have a phobia. I do not agree with Islam as I am a Christian, but that does not mean that I am 'Islamophobic' Likewise, I do not agree with gay marriage, but I have a right to express that view without being branded as 'homophobic'. I do not have a fear of either of these things, just disagree with them. You have a right to your views, but should use correct words to express them

Psychodelic drugs should be legalized. There is zero reason to have them illegal. Alcohol is one of the most harmful drugs out there yet legal. LSD has never killed anyone. The only reason people are against the legalization is because they don't know anything about those substances. It would make tons of money too.

it is evident that he puts religion before lgbti rights.. Religious people choose to believe what they want, and they believe myths. LGBTI are born LGBTI and did not choose to be that way...

"Right now there are parents who introduce alcohol to their children if drugs were legal how would you stop them?" Family, friends, the close community? (oh right what community) it should not be up to government to deal with these affairs. Listen you can easily protect the child even if the drugs were legal, because anyone would realize that would be child abuse.

Apologetic for wrong doers will come back to bite you. It isnt difficult NOT to brake the law. Just dont do it. No one has died because they weren't allowed to take Heroin or Crystal meth.

@GEOFF0906 11 лет назад

Who mentioned black people? As far as I'm aware, no religion denies black people the right to marry, so this is a bad analogy. As far as the Bible is concerned, I choose to believe it having read it, and would be very interested to know if you have read it. Maybe you are afraid that if you do read it, you may actually start to believe some of the 'trash', and like myself, will maybe start considering where your own life falls short.

@grimawormtongue1949 10 лет назад

Good questions. Only thing which annoyed me was the incorrect use of the word "yourself".

@ratioveritas9983 11 лет назад

EXCELLENT, professional, unbiased interview. That young man is an up-and-coming one. If he had wanted to, he would have taken Farage into uncomfortable answers, but he was a ace of a journalist.

@theoneheretosty 11 лет назад

" decriminalizing drugs will have enormous" For who? What makes you think if you take something that was accepted to be wrong and call it right that the problem will be solved? The main aim is to get people to use drugs less or dont you agree? "making something illegal glamorizes it." If the penalty was 35 years in jail with hard labor how many people do you think would risk it? "heroin though for life" Who is responsible for taking drugs is it the individual or the drug dealers fault?

He is saying British people should be allowed to vote for who rules them do you think that is slimy as it makes you come across as a hate filled bigot

9:45 A way to ensure this does not happen would be legalizing humanist marriage ceremonies; you can have gay marriage or civil partnerships and there is absolutely no need to force this upon to theists.
