Wow! The BBC put Nigel Farage on the news! Voluntarily...

Don't know whether it's going out on all news platforms, but...

... at 17:25 today, in the traditional 'And finally...' slot, the BBC News channel carried footage of UKIP's Nigel Farage giving the European Empire's Emperor von Rumpy-Pumpy another moment of what for.

Actually, he was asking what Emperor von Rumpy-Pumpy was there for, as well as telling the undemocratic organisation's figurehead what he thought of him.

...and then he likened his appearance to that of a clapped out bank clerk, or something. Cheeky!

A large slice of the British people no doubt cheered Nigel Farage on, though we suspect the BBC wanted us to tut-tut and disapprove.

We'll watch the UKIP outlets for a clip over the next day or two. If you don't want to wait, you can see the clip on Wideshut.co.uk.

Beyond the extract grabbing the headlines, however, Farage described Emperor von Rumpy-Pumpy as 'capable' and 'dangerous' - as someone opposed to democracy and opposed to nation states.

Meanwhile, when UKIP's William Dartmouth MEP asked whether the European Empire wanted non-Eurozone countries to bail-out Greece, the answer he got was...

...that the European Empire expects it might have to bail-out Britain!

...can anyone think of a New Labour / European Empire conspiracy theory that fits what you've just heard..?

In other European Empire related news, the Daily Express reports today that a European ruling is set to turn Britain into a "sponger's heaven".

Nigel Farage wants a better Europe, well, he should propose instead of calling us a non-country and insulting von Rompuy! He is as dangerous as Farage is polite and diplomatic!

Pauline, we think Nigel Farage has proposed the 'better Europe' that he - and most people in the UK - would like to see.

It is a Europe of friendly neighbours. Where we can all be friends, visit each other's countries, and trade together.

We do not want a superstate.

If the European Empire want a superstate, they should form it democratically at the say so of the people.

In that, they should honour the referendum votes in those handful of nations that were allowed them - but as the Irish case shows, they do not want to do that, at any cost.

As the European Empire doesn't want to be democratic, we're sure Nigel Farage - who the British people democratically sent to the EU on our behalf - would happily accept our nation being kicked out of the European project.

Most people in Britain invite the EU to kick us out. There will be great parties throughout Britain should such a happy day occur.

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
