Now for our English Speaking audience ;-) here in FReeperville I offer for your visual and listening pleasure from You Tube the SANEST and SMARTEST politician in all of Europe, MEP, Nigel Farage, Leader of the UKIP party in GB. Mr Farage always has had choice words for the EU and the Euro. And that BOTH would fail miserably.
The Genius of Mutual Indebtedness - Nigel FarageI have him on my Google News Alerts. The guy is marvelous, wish he was an American pol :-)and this earlier one is THE ONE who put Nigel on the map, so to speak:
