“If there’s labour shortages, we issue work permits. It’s as simple as that.”

Basically, Herman van Rompuy wants the European Union to become a debt union, which may be acceptable to some of the southern countries who are effectively bust. To the northern countries, it is not.

The European Union’s finished. It doesn’t work. You know, we just had the honor in Britain of being the first country that rejected membership. You know, you could be next. It could be Denmark next. It could be Dexit.

Ukip policies are common-sense policies.

I am disgusted at the way May has been speaking. The EU nationals living in the UK came here legally and they have protected rights.

Whatever the polls do between now and then, winning is what matters.

In Britain, we have an open door to half a billion people. We still retain the ability to decide who comes from the rest of the world. But we’ve effectively shut down the rest of the world because 4,000 people a week are coming from the E.U.

We know the costs of Europe. What are the benefits?

Our feeling is that the status quo often gets a boost and this is the new status quo.

Having established that good ideas do indeed come in from the cold, start on the fringes and become mainstream, can we make any predictions about what the next move will be?

And what is the reaction of the British politcal class? Well the Lib Dems, still think that the Euro is a success! I don’t quiet think where Cleggy gets this from, I don’t know. Prehaps he is cosidering an alternative career, as a stand up comedian, once he’s out of politics.

The euro Titanic has now hit the iceberg – and there simply aren’t enough lifeboats to go round.

We vote to leave, we get rid of this Prime Minister – dishonest Dave [Cameron] – and we get a better Prime Minister.

I am married to a girl from Hamburg, so no one need tell me about the dangers of living in a German dominated household.

Should we continue to run our economic affairs or be managed by people in Brussels?

There’s unrecognizable change happening in Britain. The life prospects and job prospects, particularly of working-class people, have been severely dented. Without anyone being asked.

The situation in Greece just goes from bad to worse. We’ve now got a situation where there was the big suicide a few weeks ago, where a 77-year-old man shot himself in the head outside the Greek Parliament. That was the public face of what’s gone wrong.

I think there are multiple ways to have your voice heard. In some cases, it’s through protest and it’s through going on the nightly news and talking about or denouncing every issue on which you disagree with. Other times it is quietly and directly and candidly.

Conflicts between nations will continue to arise. The real issue is whether they are to be resolved by force, or by resort to peaceful methods and procedures, administered by impartial institutions.

All issues of crime are better addressed at the state level.

A gospel that doesn’t deal with the issues of the day is not the gospel at all.

On one issue, at least, men and women agree. They both distrust women.

This is why I hate white people. You guys try to turn everything into a racial issue.

Framing the issue of work-life balance – as if the two were dramatically opposed – practically ensures work will lose out. Who would ever choose work over life?

It is always in my mind still that I can crush anybody. That’s not an issue. But I think that is the same for most athletes. If you don’t believe you can win tournaments anymore, then you can’t do it.
