Whether you like him or not, he seems to be the only one willing to say it as it is.

Isn't it just farage doing what he's always done. Turning everything into a criticism of the EU whether it is actually to do with them or not?
Agree it is a disgrace. Spain argue it was an illegal vote so they had every right to do what they did. That's to be pulled apart. All's they have done is strengthen the Catalans hand. Farage scoring points from it. That's the trick he has got. I would pay more attention to him if he didn't pull everything back to these shores. What happened was wrong. Cant he just say that? Say why it's wrong and sit down and provoke the debate necessary in the chamber there.
The EU has no rights whatsoever to intervene in a member state

What would have happened if the EU had commented on say the death of Ian Tomlinson and the police behaviour there, or Orgreave, or Hillsborough? Farage would have accused the EU of interfering and going beyond their legal powers. Now they haven't, he's criticising them for not going beyond their legal powers.
This thread sums up Farage perfectly

Is that ex UKIP leader Paul Nuttall in the background.
Why has he got the translation headphones on - is it to turn Farage's speech into scouse.
So do we want the EU interfering in everything now?
They have no jurisdiction over stuff like this surely, and agree how would anyone feel if the EU started commenting thinks like the death of Ian Tomlinson?
Populist bulshiiting one trick pony criticises EU for not getting involved in affairs of EU country whilst simultaneously criticising EU for (allegedly) interfering in affairs of EU countries.
Just so I’m clear but is Farage suggesting that the EU should get involved in a member’s state right to apply its own laws in matters relating to its sovereignty?
Because, as linked above, they can't and they don't. The rules the EU follows are decided by all the member states (don't worry TBG, I won't say countries) and they all shrewdly realised that they don't want all the other countries (whoops) poking their nose into internal disputes like this.
It's for Spain to sort out and they're doing a bad job.
The Eu has let itself down. They will happily get involved in issues of tax, finance and regulation across the member states. For an institution that pushes its believes and moral compass the silence is deafening. Spain has let itself down as well. Spain is more of a problem as I see than the EU. Since when can't you vote for something. Spain doesn't have to accept the will of the Catalan's but storming poling stations. whacking old folk with clubs just proves why they should maybe leave Hundred's of years ago and you could most likely pull that off. Spain being naive to think otherwise in this day n age. Farage still using it to his own ends as well he should I suppose. Its what he wants. Its the air he breaths.
