'How does she get away with it?' Farage lets rip at 'EUROFANATIC' Sturgeon over referendum

NIGEL FARAGE has ripped into “Eurofanatic” Nicola Sturgeon after she announced she would start the process for a second Scottish independence referendum.

The former Ukip leader blasted the first minister over her concept of “independence” before berating the European Union over law-making and European courts.

The Brexit campaigner let loose on his LBC show on Monday night after the SNP leader announced she would call for a referendum between Autumn next year and Spring 2019.

He said: “She doesn’t want to leave the European Union, she doesn’t want to leave the single market, she is a Eurofanatic and a question that never seems to be asked is ‘why is that party called the Scottish National Party?’ – she doesn’t want Scotland to be an independent nation.

“She does not want independence from this referendum at all, she wants to be part of a Europe that is rapidly becoming a United States of Europe.”

Mr Farage then continued to rant about being “independent” within the European bloc.

“I simply can’t understand how this word ‘independence’ can be used by Sturgeon – how is it independent to share your fish with the rest of Europe?” he asked.

“How is it independent to have virtually all of your laws made somewhere else? How is it independent to have your own courts overruled? How is it independent to have to sign up to join the Euro? How does any of this work? How does she get away with it?


“Tell me that it’s consistent to talk about independence and be part of the European Union. I’ll tell you what, if you convince me of that then I’ll take you out for the best dinner you’ve ever had because I think it’s literally impossible.”

Scotland had a referendum 2 years ago and it's once in a generation! So Block the divisive and evil Nicola Sturgeon. Reject all her referendums for 30 years (one generation) or permanently reject it.

What, like Westminster instead of Edinburgh?

The case against Europe: One MEP reveals the disturbing contempt for democracy at the heart of the EU

Nonetheless, to depose an incumbent head of government, even a wounded one, is no small thing. It shows the hideous strength of the EU.

With Papandreou and Berlusconi out of the way, Brussels was able to install technocratic juntas in their place — unelected administrations called into being solely to enforce programmes which their nations rejected.

The most shocking aspect of the whole affair was that so few people were shocked.

The Brussels system was undemocratic from the start, but its hostility to the ballot box had always been disguised by the outward trappings of constitutional rule in its member nations. That has now ceased to be true.

Apparatchiks in Brussels now rule directly through apparatchiks in Athens and Rome. The voters and their tribunes are cut out altogether. There is no longer any pretence. In place of democracy, we now have the tyranny of a self-perpetuating, self-serving elite, all wedded by self-interest to the European project.


They are, it must be said, a worried and tetchy bunch. Ever since 55 per cent of French voters and 62 per cent of Dutch voters rejected the European Constitution in 2005, the Eurocrats in Brussels have been noticeably defensive. They have given up trying to win round public opinion. Their primary interest is keeping their well-paid positions.

Before those ‘No’ votes, they could convince themselves that Euroscepticism was essentially a British phenomenon, with perhaps a tiny off-shoot in Scandinavia.

Now, they know that almost any electorate will reject the transfer of powers to Brussels. So they concentrate on wielding power in the way they know best — through influence and money.

It is a shock to discover just how extensive the EU’s reach is. Take its claim in 2003 to be ‘consulting the people’ about the draft of a new constitution by inviting 200 ‘representative organisations’ to submit their suggestions.

Every single one of them, I discovered, received grants from the EU. If you scratch the surface, you find that virtually every field of activity has some EU-sponsored pressure group to campaign for deeper integration, whether it be the European Union of Journalists, the European Women’s Lobby or the European Cyclists’ Federation.

These are not independent associations which just happen to be in receipt of EU funds. They are, in most cases, creatures of the European Commission, wholly dependent on Brussels for their existence.


The EU has also been active in spreading its tentacles to established charities and lobbying groups within the nation states. The process starts harmlessly enough, with one-off grants for specific projects.

After a while, the organisation realises that it is worth investing in a ‘Europe officer’ whose job, in effect, is to secure bigger grants.

As the subventions become permanent, more ‘Europe officers’ are hired. Soon, the handouts are taken for granted and factored into the organisation’s budget. Once this stage is reached, the EU is in a position to call in favours.

We'd be happy to send him over permanently so you can feel better every day. No charge.

Hey, it's quid pro quo. You'll have to take Trump. I mean, he and Boris Johnson already look similar enough...

Edit: Hah, ninja'd about Boris

And I'm actually linking to Fox News...

Disguised by elections as well. That's a good way of disguising an undemocratic system, by making it democratic. Then after it is democratic, with a parliament and debates and everything, it becomes undemocracy because they don't do what Rupert Murdoch wants, which is the British version of democracy.

By the way, you've linked the Daily Mail and the Daily Express. Can you link some actual news sources and not fantasy comics?

Well at least they are leaving and that includes Farage AND Boris Johnson.
So its a double win for the rest of us in the EU.

Europe is already a zombie on life support. Keep your overpaid eurocrats with tax-exemptions, because we won't pay their salaries anymore nor accept EU bureaucracy. It's all out win for the free world outside the EU.

The EU is falling apart year after year. The UK will be the first to leave, but won't be the last. Cheers!

It has cost tax payers 1 billion euros in 7 years just to move the eurocrats from Brussels to Strasbourg and back again.

Um, you kinda need to if you want access to the market. I doubt Britain will be able to get favorable trade agreements.

Trade agreements will be made, more countries will leave the EU in the next few years. Greece will never repay the billions of pounds/euros, because it cannot compete with such an expensive currency. Italy needs billion euro bailouts. Spain and Portugal are next.

France and other countries voted AGAINST the European Constitution in 2005, but the EU simply disregarded it! The EU doesn't care what the people of Europe want. They only want to control and dismantle sovereign countries.

The EU is so incompetent they refuse to stop the migration crisis. It's time to abandon ship. See ya.

They spent 20 mil on a visitors centre to promote the EU.. One of their express aims is to eradicate the nation state, which they refer to as some sort of evil.

I'm afraid to say the EU is a failed shambles, run by un-elected twerps. What kind of club is it if when you leave you get knee capped?

Who is knee capping you?

What kind of club is it if you feel you've been knee capped when you leave, even though you've only walked out of the door? It's the kind of club you want to stay in, by your own logic.
