Timmermans: Farage Is Right - And Often.

Vice President of the European Commission (EC) Frans Timmermans said he "really liked" the Ukip leader's sense of humour. But he said he was "terribly annoyed" by how many times Mr Farage appeared to correctly diagnose problems with the 28-member union.

"I get terribly annoyed when he's right. And on some issues he is right too often," he said. The frank admission of the bloc's shortcomings included a damning critique of the EU's migration policy, which continues to permit the free movement of people across the continent. The system has been put under pressure by an influx of asylum seekers fleeing war-torn regions in the Middle East and Africa for safety in Europe in recent months. Express.
