Time Text
It's not going to last 20 years, love.
It's not going to live 20 years.
And there's going to be chaos when it goes down in flames.
Look at Paris at the moment.
Germany's going into a recession.
Italy is being led by anti-European parties.
The second largest contributor is leaving.
The project is failing.
The project is failing.
You are the ruin of profit.
I would love to be able to take credit for ruining your project, but unfortunately, I'm not that important.
I have no project.
I am a pensioner.
But you support the European Union.
British jobs.
I am a European.
What about our fishing jobs?
The European Union ruined those.
We're an island.
Shouldn't we have those back?
Why should the Spanish fish in our waters?
I can understand the grievances of fishermen.
I agree.
Your waters should be fished by yourself.
Europe is not perfect.
No, it's destroying our jobs.
In fact, it's wrong terrible.
Who destroyed Guy Derhofstadt Staffers calling us a colony?
Honda and Nissan moved out of England.
Who destroyed that?
Do you know why?
Do you know why Honda are leaving?
Honda are leaving Europe entirely.
They are moving back to Japan.
It's nothing to do with Brexit.
And what it is to do with is the reduction of use in diesel because people are becoming aware of the issue of particulates that diesel fuel causes.
It is actually polluting the environment, and people, as informed consumers, are making sensible decisions, and that's affecting Honda.
It's nothing to do with Brexit.
Yeah, and how do you report that?
Well, hang on, hang on.
Don't just move on from that.
Do you accept that you were wrong on that issue?
No, I don't accept that.
Why?
No.
That's what Honda themselves said.
That was their statement.
I live in Swindon where the plant is.
They paid very close attention to this.
They stated we're leaving Europe.
Okay, people have to give reasons, but the real reason is when England leaves Europe, they are no longer attractive to the work market.
That's not true at all, because we're going to reduce our taxes on businesses and get foreign investment in.
In fact, we're going to undermine the European Union and take it down as quickly as possible.
It is a tyrannical organization run by unaccountable people and funded by the Germans.
Yes, we're going to bring it down.
To hell with the European Union.
It's the Fourth Reich.
Since what gives you the right to say that Germany is not a democracy?
I didn't say Germany wasn't a democracy, but I would have said Europe is a Fourth Reich.
Was it a murderous dictatorship?
I didn't say that, but it was.
It was.
It is a fact.
But you are now saying the Forsreich.
Germany is not the Forsreich.
No, the European Union is the Fourth Reich.
Germany just funds it.
No, that is complete right now.
I don't think it is.
That is complete.
I don't think it is.
I think the Euro itself is a political project, not an economic one, to take over Europe through the back door.
The Germans simply can't help themselves in this regard, and I do not wish to be dominated by Germany.
No, you are not dominated by Germany.
Who gave you that idea?
We have taken in 1.4 million refugees.
No, you haven't.
No, you have not.
You've taken in about half a million refugees because only 30% of those refugees actually came from Syria.
This is the German government's own statistics on citing.
You have taken in people from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia.
What war is going on there?
These are not refugees.
That are not true.
I am not.
I am citing the German government's own figures.
30% of them.
30% came from Syria.
No.
You are just wrong.
No.
I'm sorry you are wrong.
We have taken.
Can I just finish my point?
We have taken in 1.4 million refugees.
They're from different countries.
They might not all refugees from war zones.
There might be economic refugees.
There is no such thing as economic refugee.
Yeah, okay.
Everybody is living pretty and not starving.
We know that.
It's just that by that logic, how do we stop?
Where is the limiting principle of that idea?
Listen, we, the Europeans, for years had colonies in Africa.
Oh, here we go.
Now we get to the white guilt.
Exploited people.
I imagine the Germans do have a lot to feel guilty about, but the British don't have anything to feel guilty about.
We created civilization, we created the modern world, we ended the slave trade, we made everything great about democracy.
What about the concentration camps in the Boer War?
You didn't create that.
I'm sorry, Second.
What about the concentration camps in the Boer War?
You didn't create that.
But they weren't extermination camps, were they?
What?
They weren't extermination camps.
Do you know how many Boer people, women, and children starved to death?
I am aware that terrible things happen during wars.
Unfortunately, you have to go.
I think you have to learn a little bit more about history.
