Nézzük, mit mondott a kitűnő Nigel Farage az Unió Elnöki Tanácsáról:

The Kissinger question of who to call in Europe hasn't really been answered, has it? I guess the answer can only be Mr Barroso, because he's the only one that anybody in the world has ever heard of and is probably the big winner out of these posts.

No wonder, Sir, you look so happy this morning. And we have a new president of Europe, Herman Van Rompuy. It doesn't exactly trip off the tongue, does it? I can't see him stopping the traffic in Beijing or Washington; I doubt anybody in Brussels would even recognise who he is. And yet he's gonna be paid a salary that is bigger than Obama’s,

which tells you all you need to know about this European political class and how they look after themselves.

But at least he is an elected politician, unlike Baroness Cathy Ashton, who really is the true representation of the modern-day political class. In some ways she's ideal, isn't she?

She's never had a proper job, and she's never been elected to anything in her life. So I guess she's perfect for this European Union.
