To be frank it's not the EU's money its every members money so it's right that some members have freedom of speech.People talk like the EU is a country that earns it's money.

No of course not. Him and that poster - it was exactly the same as the constant references to Turkey joining The EU he made - it wasn't him playing on some peoples subliminal fears about Islam and the brown people in the picture at all. Clearly not.

So apart from the non stop left wing media ,protests and challenges to derail brexit you now want to protest against a influential brexiteer who is spot on when it comes to the hideous EU.
You idiots never stop !!!

You are allowed to express your opinion without calling everyone stupid. This is a safe space for all.

Is he not a proven liar? I would agree that yes, it is no wonder people voted to leave the EU, the country was ripe for it.

Good on you.
Now if you could learn to express your points of view in a way which respected and considers the points of view of others and stuck to the details of the argument, you might actually be able to engage in some civilized debate. Maybe you could learn something from others who disagree with you. Maybe they could learn something from you.
It starts with being civil though.
Baby steps.

Hungary and Austria received assylum applications at higher rate per capita than Germany did, and could not process more. At the point Merkel agreed to take them, thousands were massed on the border of Hungary and Serbia, they were stuck. Winter was coming, at that point there was a crisis which Merkel relieved. She saved lives. I believe she hoped that others would share the burden, but she found that was not the case.
The other point missed by most here, is that as refugees, they are offered temporary asylum in Germany. When conflict is resolved in Syria, they would no longer be automatically entitled to remain and most will be required to return home. Very few would ever go on to become German citizens and have the rights of any other EU citizen to travel and work in the EU.
We do not do that here, we grant asylum on a permanent basis so that people can get on with their lives, we also offer family reunification after 6 months, which is 18 months sooner than most in Europe. This is one of the reasons many will try to get to the UK, the husband will make the hazardous journey, and risk his life to get to Britain, so his wife and Children may join him, if they can get to the UK embassy.

There are plenty of Republicans in Parliament who do swear allegiance.

Hey Clamp, I don’t think Farages salary is even the equivalent of a single granule in the EU proverbial gravy train so I wouldn’t worry too much about that.
But surely you can accept both sides told lies and actually, the overwhelming establishment support for Remain made it more remarkable that Leave won. As someone’s already pointed out, he was effectively proven ‘right’ and that probably more than anything else this still rankles with those who dismissed him - it’s hard to accept hubris, even more so when you fought an equally dirty campaign and held a considerable advantage.
I’m a bit indifferent to Farage, some of what he says is perfectly valid, the manner in which he says however isn’t helpful. But I simply don’t buy the constant hysterical attempts to portray him as some sort of modern day Hitler by many. This article you’ve linked to for example, the fact the ‘anti fascists’ are saying he’s not welcome implies he’s a ‘fascist’ simply because they’re there: but he’s not, despite attempts to demonise him as. Show me where he’s written a comparable to Mein K for example? More than ever, today people seem to need to label someone, however inaccurate, to suit their opinion and ‘win at any cost’. It’s hashtag culture and that to my mind is more dangerous especially when people’s attention rarely strays beyond headlines, the era of fake news etc.
But the ‘cost’ is reasoned debate, which has been suffocated as a consequence. The race to the bottom by both sides is over. Result? A Draw.

I love my country, I am not particularly proud of it at the moment though. Who do you mean when you say "being proud of your own"?

I think he is a dangerous man. Comparable to Hitler? Hmm, that's a stretch. He shares some tactics with some of history's dictators. Blaming minority groups for the country's troubles etc but no, I have never really thought him a modern day Hitler.

Own country or culture. (It reads gramatically that way too if you read the full sentence in context with the previous one - I wasn't saying "your own kind" or something like that if that's how you read it).
& I wasn't talking so much about current politics or policy, I was talking more generally about things like British Common Law and it's influence historically and around the world. Other influences like literature and our role in important scientific and technological achievements historically, things like that.
I'm certainly not talking about being proud of Theresa May or Tony Blair etc.
