The Who frontman said Brussels had become so bloated its influence was now “detrimental” and the organisation was doomed to fail.
In an interview with Sunday Times magazine yesterday, he also revealed he had not ruled out voting for Nigel Farage’s UK Independence Party.
He said: "I've met Nigel but I don't know who I'll vote for. I'm agnostic at the moment.
"I can't stand the bureaucracy of the European Union. It’s detrimental to the whole place.
“They’ve made some decisions now where I think it can only fly apart at the seams. Sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.”
Daltrey, a former Labour supporter who is fiercely proud of his working class roots, condemned Tony Blair’s and Gordon Brown’s administrations for the loss of British jobs.
He said: "I will never, ever forgive the Labour party for allowing this mass immigration with no demands put on what people should be paid.
"I will never forgive them for destroying the jobs of my mates because they allowed their jobs to be undercut with stupid thinking on Europe, letting them all in, so they can live 10 to a room, working for Polish wages.
“I've got nothing against the Poles at all but that was a political mistake and it made me very angry and the people who get it in the neck are the immigrants and it's not their fault."
He also criticised for politicians’ obsession with social networking sites such as Twitter.
"I find it really worrying that politicians tweet," he said.
"They should be thinking about doing a good job, rather than telling us what they had for breakfast, or what colour suit they're wearing."
I would characterize Roger as basically libertarian. And as a result, he is on the correct side a good part of the time, and on the loon side the other part of the time.
Still, I can tolerate libertarians a thousand percent more than I can liberals.
Uness you don’t consider marijuana a drug which he smoked until rececntly , saying he developed some sort of allergy to the new , more powerful stuff out there now .

Londonistan doesn’t get its new nickname from the Poles

Daltrey waking up to the economic Squeeze Box called the EU
Sad is that we still have quite a few on here who praise and support such Free Trade failures like the EU. At least Daltrey has woke up.
Thanks. I’m glad my genius didn’t go unnoticed.
Yep, flying apart at the seams is one of the few inevitable choices left once you’re that far along and sooner is far better than prolonging it.
Suicide’s the natural end for all non-merit based hierarchies, especially GuvCo.
Suicide is where progressive marxism/socialism/liberalism/communism progresses to once that infection sets in.
Merry old England is the canary in the Western coal mine and she and we ain't lookin' too good.
I don’t care about pollution
I’m an air-conditioned gypsy
That’s my solution
Watch the police and the tax man miss me
I’m mobile
Oooooh, yeah, hee!
