I watched with interest Farage's speech and brief Q&A session on Syria in the European talking shop. Click on link to see it for yourself. I agree with every word Farage said but then over the years I have had very few disagreements with Farage on policy. He spoke well and dealt with the questions well. He praises the UK House of Commons for rejecting PM Cameron's wishes for armed intervention in Syria but runs a party in which to gainsay the leader is political death.
He reminds me very much of Hitler in the 1930s. He claims to be a democrat but any scrutiny of his actions shows him to be a dictator. The other UKIP characters can also be recognised in Hitler's 30s entourage. All political opponents are ruthlessly expelled as are those with differing views to the Fuerher.
The reason the House of Commons could stop Cameron's warmongering was because a large groupn of Tory MPs are their own men and not the PM's placemen. In UKIP all future MEPs will be Nigel's placemen and women. UKIP has no diversity, the characteristic of all UK political parties as evinced by he LibDems this week, and as will be evinced by Labour next week with its Blairite Brownite factions and the following week by the Tories. UKIP is not a 'professional party' but a National Socialist party with a leader cult surpassing Germany in the 30s.
Look at the way second choice Nuttal was foisted on UKIP North West by forcing/inducing Greg Beaman the members choice to stand down. Pure National Socialism!

We praise our Democracy. Hitler started by using Democratic principles but eventually resorted to undemocratic actions in Parliament plus the use of force. He was an overt terrorist actually if you define terrorism as the minority using force to overcome the majority.
One could level the same theory for Syria except that ASSAD, an authoritarian himself is resisting the terrorism of the other factions.
Winston Churchill's view of DEMOCRACY is often quoted - it is among this list.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

Mogens JallbergMany forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
