Nigel Farage: The Euro Titanic Has Now Hit The Iceberg (EPIC RANT)
Zerohedge ^ | 6-13-01 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 06/13/2012 7:56:52 AM PDT by tcrlaf

In an epic rant, trumping Biderman, UKIP's Nigel Farage appears to have reached the limit of his frustration with his 'peers' in the European Parliament after the Spanish bailout.

Rajoy's proclamation that this bailout shows what a success the euro-zone has been, sends Farage over the edge as he sees the Spaniard as just about the most incompetent leader in the whole of Europe (up there with favorites like Van Rompuy and Barroso).

The erudite Englishman notes that by any objective criteria "The Euro Has Failed" expanding on the insane farce of Italy funding Spain's banking bailout at a loss (borrowing at 6% to fund a loan at 3% as we discussed here).

"This 'genius' deal makes things worse not better" as it merely drives other nations towards needing bailouts themselves and while his socialist colleagues in the room are mumbling and checking their blackberries, he reminds them that Spanish national debt will surge and that 100 billion does not solve the problem, and that if Greece leaves, the ECB is failed, is gone, and to rectify this there will be a cash call from the very same PIIS (Ex-G) that are tumbling towards the abyss.

Blood pressure surges as he screams "you couldn't make this up" concluding that "the Euro Titanic has now hit the Iceberg and sadly there simply aren't enough lifeboats."

We in the United States used to be like him, unafraid to speak the truth directly in to the camera... What happened? Greed? Sloth? TV?

We deserve what's coming....

European incompetence pales in comparison with our very own Obamadork and his Clown Show of Felon/Cretons.

Hopefully, Europe will not allow the present crowd of goons to escape our country and go there when we finally wise up. I want to watch the Obamadork and the Holderidiot do the perp walk.

Farage has had some classic rants in the EU parliament. My favorite is him telling EU Prez van Rompuy he has “the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk.”

Farage is a fantastic communicator. Unfortunately, the EU mucky mucks aren’t listening.

Thanks for the link.

The European Parliament doesn't have Mark Steyn, but Nigel makes up for it.

Would it be possible to get a forged birth certificate for Nigel and run him for president?
I’ll bet we could get one from Hawaii.

Sounds like a twist on the Steel Unification Plan.

Reardon: "Orren Boyle's Associated Steel owns 60 open-hearth furnaces, one-third of them standing idle and the rest producing an average of 300 tons of steel per furnace per day. I own 20 open-hearth furnaces, working at capacity, producing 750 tons of Rearden Metal per furnace per day. So we own 80 "pooled" furnaces with a "pooled" output of 27,000 tons, which makes an average of 337.5 tons per furnace. Each day of the year, I producing 15,000 tons, will be paid for 6,750 tons. Boyle, producing 12,000 tons, will be paid for 20,250 tons. Now how long do you expect me to last under your plan?"

A: In times of national peril, it's your duty to serve, suffer and work for the salvation of the country!

BTTT. My, but this is priceless! Nigel is part John Galt and part Monty Python. As stated elsewhere, the best 2:51 minute video you will watch this week. Love this guy!
