Farage Dissects Cameron's Policies With The EU.

Stated in June: 'I’ll be over there in Brussels myself but I’m not expecting much and here's why:

There are three major factors of particular significance that mean the Cameron agenda is going nowhere fast. 

The first is the continuing disaster unfolding in Greece. 

With great human suffering continuing as the country remains locked inside the Euro, we have the spectacle of the Prime Minister of Greece Alexis Tsipras at loggerheads with the IMF, with neither side looking as if they are going to back down.  

The Prime Minister is likely only to secure very minor changes such as on benefits rules, which have been pre-agreed with other European leaders as a crumb off the table

Frankly the situation looks as if it will be impossible to resolve and I am certain that Grexit is now on the horizon. 

Compromise between Greece and the IMF is totally impossible when the two sides are more concerned with abusing one another.

The other major factor occupying European leaders is the humanitarian crisis and I would argue, terrorist threat, when it comes to the huge number of migrants risking their lives in crossing the Mediterranean in order to reach the shores of Europe. 

Tens of thousands of migrants are now entering Greece and Italy, with the latter threatening to grant all of those migrants temporary settlement so that they can then leave for other surrounding countries, of which I’m sure Britain would be one. 

As I keep saying, this represents a huge potential security risk given that these boats are coming across from Libya, a country increasingly controlled by Islamic State. 

There is a very real danger that some of those coming across on these boats wish do to Britain great harm indeed and is a huge problem that is simply not going to go away anytime soon.

The third and final factor that is going to scupper any sort of radical reform whatsoever is the disturbing attitude of those driving this EU project forward. 

For Martin Schulz, the President of the European Parliament, to announce that Britain “belongs” to the EU demonstrates the Brussels mind-set. 

It also demonstrates how those at the top of the EU are paying absolutely no attention to the Prime Minister. 

Schulz has specifically said Mr. Cameron has no chance of exempting the UK from the principle of “ever closer union” which has been in place for EU members ever since the Treaty of Rome in 1957, nor would he be unlikely even to secure treaty change as this would require support from every EU government. Doesn’t sound too hopeful, does it?

The Prime Minister’s entire agenda from the very start has been to attempt to sell the idea to the British people that he is attempting some grand reform in order to keep us locked inside the EU indefinitely. 

The truth is that not only is Cameron’s agenda modest in the extreme, but given all that is going on, not even high up on the agenda. 

The Prime Minister is likely only to secure very minor changes such as on benefits rules, which have been pre-agreed with other European leaders as a crumb off the table. Is that really good enough for Britain? I don’t think it is. 

The EU with its single currency has turned some European nations into economic basket cases, and opened us up to international security threats by scuppering border controls. 

The answer, as ever with the European Union, will be more centralisation, more control and more human misery as a result. 

Sorry Mr. Cameron, but you are whistling in the wind. Express.
