UK INDEPENDENCE PARTY.
RICHARD?
>> IF DAVID CAMERON IS TO SOME 
EXTENT THE OFFICIAL PLAYER ON 
BEHALF OF THE UNITED KINGDOM IN 
THE DINNERS AND MEETINGS, NIGEL 
FARAGE IS THE UNOFFICIAL LEADER 
IN THAT SENSE, BECAUSE HE WAS 
THE UNOFFICIAL LEADER WITHIN A 
LARGE PART OF THE BREXIT 
CAMPAIGN.
WE HAVE ALREADY HEARD YOUR 
SPEECH, OUR PART OF IT IN 
PARLIAMENT THIS MORNING.
YOU WERE ALMOST GRATUITOUSLY 
RUDE TO THE PARLIAMENTARIANS.
AND YOU ENJOYED IT.
>> THEY WERE ABUSING ME.
TWICE, THE PRESIDENT OF THE 
PARLIAMENT HAD TO CEASE 
PROCEEDINGS.
WHAT I SAID TO THEM, CAN WE BE 
GROWN UP ABOUT THIS?
CAN WE TALK ABOUT TRADE DEALS?
THEY ALL LAUGHED AND GIGGLED.
THAT'S WHEN I SAID, THE TROUBLE 
OF YOU PEOPLE IS, NONE OF YOU 
HAVE EVER HAD A PROPER JOB, 
WHICH WASN'T WRONG.
>> THE POINT IS, MR. FARAGE, IT 
HARDLY ENDEARS YOU TO THE VERY 
PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO HAVE TO 
GIVE THEIR CONSENT TO AN 
AGREEMENT IN TWO YEARS TIME IF 
YOU ARE RUDE TO THEM.
>> THEY CALLED ME ALL THE NAMES 
UNDER THE SUN.
I TEASED THEM THAT THEY ARE 
BASICALLY A BUNCH OF BUREAUCRATS
THAT DON'T HAVE A PROPER JOB.
>> YOU DON'T LIKE THEM?
>> THEY DON'T LIKE ME.
IT IS MUTUAL.
>> YOU HAVEN'T LIKED THEM FOR 
HOW LONG?
>> ALL 17 I HAVE BEEN HERE.
WHAT THEY TRIED TO DO IS BUILD A
POLITICAL UNION WITHOUT CONSENT.
I HAVE BEEN IN THERE TO FIGHT 
AGAINST IT.
FINALLY, A MEMBER SAID, WE WISH 
TO SUCCEED.
THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT MUCH.
>> OUR VIEWERS IN THE UNITED 
STATES WHO ARE WATCHING NOW AND 
WONDERING WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING
TO HAPPEN TO BRITAIN, HOW CAN 
BRITAIN THRIVE, I DIDN'T SAY 
SURVIVE, I SAY THRIVE OUTSIDE OF
THE EUROPEAN UNION WHEN THE 
BANKS ARE BEING DECIMATED IN THE
SHARE PRICE AND THE THREATS HAVE
BEEN VERY SEVERE AND THE POUND 
HAVE FALLIN.
>> AND FTSCE IS UP AND STERLING 
IS MARGINALLY LOWER THAN 
FEBRUARY.
THE POUND HAS BEEN IN A BEAR 
MARKET SINCE JULY, 2014, FACT.
NOW, AMERICAN VIEWERS, IMAGINE 
IF NAFTA WAS A POLITICAL UNION.
IMAGINE IF A COURT IN MEXICO 
COULD OVERRULE AND IMAGINE IF 
YOU HAD FREE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE 
WITH MEXICO.
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT.
WHAT WE ARE DOING IN THE UK, WE 
ARE REASSERTING OUR DEMOCRATIC 
RIGHTS AND IN TERMS OF BUSINESS 
AND TRADE, WE'LL GO ON TRADING. 
>> YOU ARE STARTING TO SOUND IN 
SOME WAY WITH THE SIMILAR 
POLICIES TO DONALD TRUMP.
NOW, HE ADMIRES THE BREXIT 
RESULT.
HE SAID IT WAS FANTASTIC.
IT WAS BRILLIANT.
DO YOU ADMIRE DONALD TRUMP, IN 
THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?
>> DONALD TRUMP DARES TO TALK 
ABOUT THINGS OTHER PEOPLE WANT 
TO BRUSH UNDER THE CARPET.
WHAT MR. TRUMP IS DOING IN 
AMERICA IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN 
WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO IN THE 
UNITED KINGDOM.
MY PROBLEM IN POLITICS IS FAR 
GREATER THAN DONALD TRUMP.
WE LITERALLY HAVE LOST OUR 
SOVEREIGNTY, LOST OUR BORDERS.
>> HE WOULD SAY THE SAME THING 
ABOUT U.S. BORDERS.
>> THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE IN THE 
U.S. IS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
OUR PROBLEM IS LEGAL IMMIGRATION
TO HALF A BILLION PEOPLE.
>> YOU WOULDN'T BE LOOKING TO 
HIM FOR TOO MUCH SUPPORT.
HE ALSO SAYS IF HE BECOMES 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, 
BARACK OBAMA IS GOING TO THE 
BACK OF THE TRADE CUE WOULDN'T 
HAPPEN.
YOU WOULD BE AT THE FRONT OF THE
CUE.
SO YOU MUST HOPE HE BECOMES 
PRESIDENT.
>> I THINK FOR THE UNITED 
KINGDOM, I THINK TRUMP WILL BE 
BETTER FOR US THAN BARACK OBAMA 
HAS BEEN, NO DOUBT.
>> AND WITH HILLARY CLINTON?
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE SIDES 
AT THIS EARLY STAGE?
>> THERE IS NOTHING ON EARTH 
COULD PERSUADE ME EVER TO VOTE 
FOR HILLARY CLINTON.
>> YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO 
THINK ABOUT THAT?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
SHE REPRESENTS THE POLITICAL 
ELITE.
IT IS ALMOST AS IF SHE FEELS SHE
HAS A DIVINE RIGHT TO HAVE THAT 
JOB.
>> YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE 
POLITICAL ELITE.
YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE 
ESTABLISHMENT.
SIR, YOU'RE PART OF IT.
YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR 17 YEARS. 
>> BUT I CAME INTO IT FROM 
BUSINESS.
I USED TO TRADE COMMODITIES AND 
CURRENCIES.
I HAD A PROPER JOB ONCE. 
>> HOW ON EARTH DO YOU HAVE THE 
PROFUNCTION TORRE TO CRITICIZED 
WALL STREET AND BIG BUSINESS 
WHEN YOU WERE PART OF THOSE 
MARKETS?
>> THE MARKETS, BIG BUSINESS AND
GOOD MARKETS, HAVE SMALL AND 
MEDIUM SIZE COMPETITORS TRADING 
IN THEM TOO.
LOOK, THE ACTIONS OF GOLDMAN 
SACHS, IN CAHOOTS WITH THIS 
EUROPEAN COMMISSION GETTING 
GREECE INTO THE EURO AND 
EVERYTHING ELSE.
WE NEED CHANGE.
>> YOU HAVE GOT YOUR CHANGE.
YOU HAVE YOUR REFERENDUM.
YOU HAVE GOT TO AGREE THAT THE 
UK AT THE MOMENT, THE LABOR 
PARTY HAS IMPLODED WITH JEREMY 
CORBETT HAS LOST, THE OPPOSITION
PARTY HAS LOST THE VOTE OF 
CONFIDENCE.
THE PRIME MINISTER HAS 
RE-SIGNED.
YOU HAVE LEADERSHIP ELECTIONS IN
TWO PARTIES.
THIS IS SENDING A TERRIBLE 
MESSAGE ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING 
IN BRITAIN.
>> IT IS A GREAT MESSAGE.
>> HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT, SIR?
>> IT IS A GREAT MESSAGE.
OUR POLITICAL CLASS HAVE LET US 
DOWN LIKE A CHEAP PAIR OF BRACES
AND WHAT WE DID LAST WEEK IN 
THAT REFERENDUM WAS SAY, GET 
THEE GONE.
POLITICAL CHANGE WILL BE GOOD 
AND HEALTHY AND CONSTRUCTIVE.
>> HOW MUCH DAMAGE ARE YOU 
PREPARED TO SEE?
THE CHANCELLOR ACCEPTS THAT 
THERE WILL BE A RECESSION.
HE SAID SO ON BBC RADIO.
HE ACCEPTS THAT THERE WILL BE 
ECONOMIC DAMAGE.
HOW MUCH DAMAGE ARE YOU PREPARED
TO ACCEPT BEFORE YOU REBUILD THE
HOUSE?
>> DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING, 
FREEDOM, INDEPENDENCE, 
DEMOCRACY, NOT BEING A SLAVE TO 
SOMEBODY ELSE IS SOMETHING UPON 
WHICH YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE.
WHAT WE DID LAST THURSDAY IS WE 
VOTED TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY, 
TO TAKE BACK OUR LAWS, OUR 
COURTS, OUR BORDERS, OUR PRIDE 
AND SELF-RESPECT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
ACTUALLY, I THINK, IN TRADE 
TERMS, WE ARE GOING TO DO BETTER
THAN WE DID BEFORE.
JUST LAST NIGHT, THE AUSTRALIAN 
AND NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER 
SAID THEY WANT TO COME TO THE 
FRONT OF THE CUE FOR A TRADE 
DEAL WITH BRITAIN.
>> LET'S LOOK AT OUR EUROPEAN 
PARTNERS.
ANGELA MERKEL SOUNDS AS IF SHE 
IS ANGLING TO DO A DEAL.
THEY WON'T ALLOW INFORMAL 
NEGOTIATIONS WITHOUT ARTICLE 50 
BEING INVOKED.
THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE INVOKED.
THIS IS THE ARTICLE THAT WHEN 
THE TIME LIMIT BEGINS.
WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IT 
INVOKED?
>> I FEEL NOW THAT THERE IS A 
LOGIC THAT SAYS THERE IS A 
DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO 
WHERE WE ARE GOING.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO WAIT 
UNTIL THE AUTUMN.
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DO 
IS PUT A NEGOTIATING TEAM IN 
PLACE AND DECLARE ARTICLE 50, TO
INVOKE IT WITHIN THE NEXT FEW 
WEEKS.
>> BEFORE THE NEXT LEADER IS IN 
PLACE.
BEFORE THE NEW PRIME MINISTER.
>> YES.
I THINK WE DO NEED TO SEND A 
MESSAGE WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT 
THIS.
WE DIDN'T PLAY AROUND.
THE REFERENDUM RESULT.
LET'S CRACK ON.
>> A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS.
DO YOU HAVE A VIEW ON THE NEXT 
PRIME MINISTER OF THE UNITED 
KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND 
NORTHERN IRELAND?
>> AS LONG AS HE OR SHE IS 
COMMITTED TO UPHOLDING THE WILL 
OF 17.5 MILLION PEOPLE LAST 
THURSDAY, THAT REFERENDUM, I 
COULDN'T CARE LESS WHO IT IS.
WHAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE IS BACK
SLIDING. 
>> ARE YOU, ON THIS QUESTION 
ABOUT THE MONEY, YOU HAVE BEEN 
ASKED IT 1 MILLION TIMES.
YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE 
MADE THAT PROMISE ABOUT SPENDING
$350 MILLION ON THAT.
>> YES.
>> BUT WHEN THAT PROMISE WAS 
BEING MADE, MR. FARAGE, YOU 
WEREN'T OUT THERE SAYING, HANG 
ON, THIS ISN'T RIGHT, YOU CAN'T 
MAKE THIS GUARANTEE.
HANG ON, THIS IS BEING 
DISINGENUOUS, HANG ON THIS, 
MONEY NEEDS TO BE SPENT 
ELSEWHERE.
YOU KEPT QUIET?
>> I KEPT SAYING OUR 
CONTRIBUTIONS WAS 200 MILLION 
POUNDS A WEEK.
WE COULD SPEND ON WHATEVER WE 
CHOSE. 
>> YOU DIDN'T CHALLENGE YOUR 
FELLOW BREXITEERS ON THEIR 
ASSERTION?
>> THAT'S MY PROBLEM.
I AM TOO SOFT, TOO KIND AND TOO 
EASY.
>> THERE ARE MANY WORDS I WOULD 
CHOOSE TO DESCRIBE YOU, SIR.
NONE OF THOSE WOULD COME WITHIN 
THAT CALGARY.
FINALLY, IF YOU WERE IN THE ROOM
TONIGHT AT DINNER, YOU WOULD 
PROBABLY BE ON THE MENU RATHER 
THAN AT THE TABLE.
IF YOU WERE IN THE ROOM AT 
DINNER, WHAT WOULD YOU BE SAYING
TO YOUR FELLOW EUROPEAN PARTNERS
OVER THE CHATEAU BRIGNON?
>> I WOULD JUST SAY, LET'S STOP 
THREATENING.
LET'S STOP BEING SILLY.
YOU NEED US FAR MORE THAN WE 
NEED ON.
LET'S CRACK ON AND HAVE A 
TARIFF-FREE DEAL AND ALLOW IS 
FREE TO GO OFF AND PURSUE OUR 
GLOBAL AMBITIONS.
>> NIGEL FARAGE, THANK YOU, SIR.
THERE ARE AN
