“It’s amazing how ideas start out, isn’t it?”

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.

It’s about mass immigration at a time when 21% of young people can’t find work. It’s about giving £50 million a day to the EU when the public finances are under great strain.

Rather than bring peace and harmony, the EU will cause insurgency and violence.

Greece isn’t a democracy now it’s run through a troika – three foreign officials that fly into Athens airport and tell the Greeks what they can and can’t do.

I have been unsure, from the start, what the Occupy movement was all about, although I did suspect that it was just fatuous, anti-enterprise, left-wingery.

We do have, I’m sad to say, a fifth column that is living within our own countries that is utterly opposed to our values, we’re going to have to be a lot braver… in standing up for our Judaeo-Christian culture.

It’s about businesses nervous about taking on school leavers because of a mass of red tape. It’s about health and safety regulations and green fines.

The EU is mired in deep structural crisis. Greece, Portugal and Ireland cannot survive inside the Euro.

While we’re members of the European Union, we don’t have an immigration policy. We can’t have an immigration policy. It’s a charade for people to pretend we do.

No deals with the Tories; it’s war.

The banking collapse was caused, more than anything, by bad government policy and the total failure of bad regulation, rather than by greed.

Maybe this will be the beginning of a trend? Flat taxes, cutting foreign aid, a referendum on Europe, grammar schools. Who knows?

I think frankly when it comes to chaos you ain’t seen nothing yet.

They do everything from gangsta rap to polka music and every genre in between. It’s amazing.

I work on my technique, but when I do a video, I want people to be amazed by the speed or the power. The casual fans don’t care if your hands are up or your hands are down.

I love drums and love how they look, so we offer re-wrapping to reboot your old kit, a hardware lacquering service – the black looks amazing, and bespoke snare drums.

Being on a show with a female lead is amazing for me. I love that. I love the powerful woman who’s complicated.

Before she knew it was candles, did she think she’d done it herself? With the amazing turns of her hips.

I really like Katy Perry and the music she does. She’s an amazing musician and it’s an honour to be opening for her in London.

It is so inspiring when you come across a woman who is very strong and dedicated and is amazing at what they do. That’s how I feel about Meryl Streep.

That window, which has stayed open for nearly five years, with amazing good will from the Afghans, is threatening to close unless the world wakes up and deals with the crisis.
