May 7, 2010
"The collapse of the Euro would benefit the European economy. That's the view of Nigel Farage, a British politician and former leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party. He also claims that immigration in the UK is out of control. "

(Reuters) - Anti-EU politician Nigel Farage was injured when his light aircraft crashed as he campaigned for votes on Thursday, Britain's election day. Media reports suggested the plane had come down after the banner of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) it was trailing became entangled in its engine.
"Nigel Farage was breathing and conscious, so was the pilot, even though the pilot was trapped ... Nigel managed to walk away from the wreckage," UKIP spokesman Duncan Barkes told Sky News. A photo on television news programmes showed Farage, who was taken to hospital, struggling to exit the mangled wreckage of the plane, his trousers torn and his face apparently bruised.

Nigel Farage himself then shocked European colleagues in February when he described Belgian Herman Van Rompuy, the new President of the European Council, as "a damp rag" resembling a low-grade bank clerk.
"If the entire political class are united in their disgust of me, I must be getting something right," the 45-year-old former commodities broker told Reuters in March.
An interview linked here (MP3 Audio) is with Nigel Farage concerning the Lisbon Treaty and the EU that might be worth listening to considering the United States is inexplicably connected to Britain, whatever happens in Britain is replicated exactly in America.
