U.K. MEP Gives Epic Warning on Greek Chaos: ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet!’

An outspoken member of the European Parliament has struck again with another viral speech, this time warning that the chaos in Greece is just the beginning.
Nigel Farage is the leader of the UK Independence Party and has been an outspoken opponent of bailouts and what’s been going on in Greece. This week, he blasted his colleagues who have treated Greece like a puppet government, and he shunned the idea that Greece is a democracy. Instead, he believes the people‘s rights have been taken away and they’re future is being decided by foreigners intent on bailouts. Zero Hedge explains:
Outspoken and oracular MEP Nigel Farage bombards his fellow unelected officials with ‘you can’t handle the truth‘ comments as he points out the total contradiction that is the European Parliament’s (and ‘Puppet Papademos‘) view of how things are going in their democracy relative to the reality of a TROIKA-ordered coup forced on the man in the street.
“Puppet Papademos is in place and as Athens caught fire on Sunday night he rather took my breath away,” Farage said, referring to Lucas Papademos, the current Greek prime minister. “He said, ‘Violence and destruction have no place in a democratic country.’”
“What democratic country?” he asked out loud. “He’s not even a democratically elected prime minister. He’s been appointed by you guys. Greece is not run through democracy now, it is run through a Troika. Three foreign officials that fly into Athens airport and tell the Greeks what they can and cannot do.”

I have a big crush on Nigel.
“And I must say, if I was a Greek citizen I would’ve been out there, joining those protests on Sunday. I’d be out there trying to bring down this monstrosity that has been put upon those people.”
If I were a Greek citizen I would try and find a job and not rely on Government handouts and bailouts. Unfortunately, the Greek citizens want to eat the cake and have or, like the Russians say, eat the fish and sit on the dick.
Do say what? LOL
It’s just a word for word translation of a popular Russian expression. Russian expressions tend to be, how do I put it, expressive.
I thought it was a typo - dock, for example.
But nevermind.
Memo to self.
Don’t go out for fish and chips when in Russia....
Good travel advisory. Another one: When you going to Kavkaz (the Caucusus), the sun is shining in your eyes, when returning to US, the sun is shining in your ass (another Russian expression).
Nigel Farage, Daniel Hannan, and what is left of the Margaret Thatcher Tories (along with Nigel’s own UKIP Party members) are the few principled politicians left in Britain.
