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

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?

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?

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

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.

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.

Business is fun. Controlling your own destiny is fun. Creating an idea and turning it into a movie; finding an artist and guiding their career and bringing them to some type of status – there’s joy in that.

When you begin the process of unhooking from the outer world, you can find literally hundreds of places where you have given your power away and drained your life force while guaranteeing the status quo.

Success is a process that continues, not a status that you reach. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

People are really concerned about my relationship status. When I tell people I’m happy being single, they don’t believe me. They say: ‘You have to be miserable being alone’.

The way you are with others every day, regardless of their status, is the true test of faith.

The paid-off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice.

Grow with discipline. Balance intuition with rigor. Innovate around the core. Don’t embrace the status quo.
