Her eurosceptic rhetoric sounds a lot like that of former Ukip leader Nigel Farage, even telling of her admiration for the 53-year-old’s Brexit campaign as she told supporters to “take their country back”.

She said: “I look at Nigel Farage’s example. It took 17 years, but Brexit came.

“I don’t plan to wait that long.”

She claims the EU has turned “Finland into its province” and has railed against the country’s political elite, who she argues do not represent the working class.

The problem is the vast majority of Western Europeans are so addicted to socialism and subservience that I worry there is little hope for most of them.

Don’t worry, George Soros is most likely prepared to short the Euro and send it down the toilet.

I suspect that the EU “leaders/bureaurats” represent the Non-working Class, much like the ‘Rat Party here in the US.

Having been up to Finland....I would say that they are very different from the typical French or Germans that you might ever run into. They believe in socialism, but you need to be working for the benefit-side of the deal. Any suggestion of some lazy attitude and they’d more or less dump you into the cold bitter night. After a week there, I came to the opinion that it’d be the toughest place for a migrant in Europe to integrate into.

Along with nearly half of Americans, sadly!

Thanks. I guess maybe putting a little scare into them might make them alter some of their thinking. Then again........ Elites don’t take a hint easily.

Trumps arrow yesterday was aimed right at it’s heart. UK goes to the top of the list in trade deals with US as does any other country leaving the EU.

God go with Le Pen. We are at a tipping point. We must survive, and support each other in the West. Godlessness has ruled us too long.
