Nigel Farage tells the Europrogtards that they are in denial and that their failed political experiment is falling apart before their eyes. They deny facts. They deny math. He tells them they are children.
Great speech.
He told them 4 years ago.

Given the depth and breadth of the effects of globalistic economics, there will be a very rocky adjustment as change is forced upon those economics. In any point of real change — in a person, a country, or a worldview — there has to be a period of disintegration. Nothing is stasis, but recently there have been a number of people who have recognized the pendulum swing — that normal up/down, back/forth, in/out motion all of us rely upon (depending on whether your side is ‘winning’ or ‘losing’), has been in acute deflection — as if completely stuck — on the left. Stuck so hard and for so long that we must be wondering just what kind of damage to the pendulum, itself, will occur once unstuck. From an economic standpoint this is the “Here, hold my beer” moment where this instant we already know the pain of globalism and where we end up, when the debris clears, who knows where we will find ourselves.
Ever the optimist, I believe enough time has passed between the intervals of sane trade and economics to have given people who know what to do, the time and the incentive to step in and do what they’re going to do. And as bad as any downturn may be, it will be nothing like the bleeding-out we’re experiencing right now under trade agreements where the U.S. OWES hundreds of billions of dollars to countries for giving them the privilege of dumping their low-waged, low-priced goods and services in our markets while their own dictatorships and corrupt ‘democracies’ pay out our dollars to themselves and their fellow plutocratic oligarchs.
I thought trade agreements hurt the economy. I have heard that as a regular mantra on this site.
So why would the dissolution of the EU trade agreements harm Britain?
Those pushing the isolationist twaddle that we need to end our trade agreements get the perfect chance to observe how that works out.
In my opinion this will be a good thing for Britain long term as new trade agreements will get put in place.
That was SUCH a WONDERFUL and WELL-DESERVED
b!tch slap to the EU bobbleheads!
@JohnS — You answered your own question.
As to your opinion that ‘isolationist’ is interchangeable with the words ‘protectionist’ or ‘nationalist’, you are going for the globalist talking point du jour. You are lacking the depth of understanding, even, of any of those words. Or, apparently, you are in agreement with globalist economics, except that you do seem to recognize that the U.K. will be better off for their ‘isolationist’ vote for national sovereignty.
AA – It takes just as long, if not longer, to straighten out something then it took to mess it up in the first place. I hope people like the Brits have figured this out, and stick with the re-build. The end result will be worth the effort.
The BREXIT vote was not an economic vote – it was a political vote. At best, passing BREXIT would cause economic uncertainty; at worst, a recession in the U.K. The U.K. citizens knew this, and voted for BREXIT anyway.
The leftists who control the EU are, as is typical for leftists, clueless. Leftists ignore and reject anything which does not fit into their world view even if their world view may lead to their destruction. More telling than Farage’s speech were the French MEP remarks which clearly signaled that France is entertaining an exit from the EU as well. The U.K. has voted to leave, the Swiss refused to join, and if the French decide to exit as well then many of the economic lynch pins of Europe will be gone and Germany will eventually have to follow. Economically the EU was beneficial, but Brussel’s continuing leftward lurch means that the political disadvantages outweigh economic benefits. But leftists will never recognize this.
Burner — I’m of the view that given great economists, entrepreneurs, head of the treasury, nullifying the overburden of nuisance regulations, oversight of the fed, and leadership who understand the engines of good economies, it can take much less time than imagined. I often think of the U.S. transition to and from a ‘war’ economy during WWII, and the transition (albeit a false one) in the early years of FDR. If the right people and policies are all arrayed in unfettered innovation and action I think it will spell a healthy, solid, relatively quick, recovery.
The U.K. got the jump on leading us out of the globalist psychological abyss, but I think the U.S. will lead the world in showing how a healthy economy can be achieved, given leadership who understand inventing,making, selling and trading things.
“I thought trade agreements hurt the economy.”
Why did you “think” that, JohnS?
“I have heard that as a regular mantra on this site.”
From whom have you “heard” that as a “regular mantra?”
You are confused.
izlamo delenda est …
Johns said …”I thought…..”
Who you kidding? 🙂
Wasn’t it interesting that every time Farage suggested they behave like grownups, the audience started booing and grumbling?
Le Pen’s speech after Farage’s was great as well. “Put away those sulky faces…” lol
I just had to LOL hearing Mr Farage reading the EU the riot act.
GO GB. Maybe you can soon regain the “Great” in GB.
AA, I rode the Reagan wave. Very similar conditions. There’s a lot of money on the side lines doing nothing. For good reason I might add. We also have a military in need of repair. Reagan ramped the military spending on day one and took the chains off our economy. That lit the fuse and we were off and running. I think people would be shocked at how fast investors started throwing their resources back into the economy once DJT was elected. We are not Europe.
BB — Yes. That’s what I’m talkin’ about. And now I’m hearing celestial music (too strong? I think not.) as Trump is giving his speech on American economic destiny. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Here is the speech: OMG! Loving it.

Abigail, I bet you wet your panties every time you hear the word Trump.
The globalists no doubt have plan B, C, and D, WAR being among these.
Listening to him without knowing where he was you’d think he was talking to our congress…..
@Duke — No. But I bet you wet your panties when you cough, ‘Duke’.
We want our Country back
We want out fishing waters back
We want our borders back
We want to be an independent, self-governing normal nation again.
I want to be able to say that on November 9th!!
AA, I finally got a chance to listen to some of the highlights of Trumps speech. I think I wet my panties.
BB — Loved the list of action items. Times, they are a’changing. Boldness required.
Yea, like a Bidness Man. I’m really looking forward to the revolution. Did you see the tweet from the US Chamber about what a train wreck Trumps policies would be? Hilarious. Check out Bernies comments
BB — I’ll be looking at all of it. There’s little doubt in my mind that Trump will make good on all of it, or the people are going to know the reason why. (Hear that, Congress?)
What I like most of all is how enthused he is about tackling this stuff. Cannot wait to hear who his cabinet and advisors are.
You know BB, if you were not all hat and no cattle you wouldn’t vote for anybody who wants the government to create secret lists that deprive people of their natural rights without due process.
As to the rest, down twinkles and insults rather than honest debate have made this site indistinguishable from a Bernie site.
Go back to your Bernie site then, JS. Sounds like you know all about it. Hell of an insult!
JohnS, You lose every time you try this shit. I’m starting to feel sorry for your dumb ass. How’s the weather in Milwaukee, hotter than hell her in California.
JohnS fancies himself as a hollyier than thou conservative. But everything he posts screams progressive. JohnS, find your way home son. Huffpo is your home JohnS. Go forth and find your home.
If anyone has the interest or time, I came across a long post written last September by a guy who says he’s in Uruguay. It’s fairly comprehensive, while not exhaustive, with a lot of back story to it. Grab a cup of coffee or your favorite drink.
Pull quote: “Meanwhile, member states trapped inside the euro’s economic prison have found themselves unable (or rather, not permitted) to change course, even if they wanted to. Ireland was told it would have to have its budget approved by the EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF) before it could hold elections.”

RosalindJ, I read this when it came out. Very good read.
Award winning comment so far on the UK thing was from Mr. Feline Groovy himself.
“Now why would UK craftsman have a problem working 50 hours a week to support the French who work 18 hours a week?”
Too right. Why indeed? Goes double for their brethren in Greece. I’m glad someone else here caught that write-up.
