On June 23rd, 2016, The citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union.
It will be very interesting to see how things unfold and whether or not the powers that be will actually allow this to happen. I sure hope it does happen.
A man named Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK independence party, was an outspoken supporter for Britain leaving the European Union. Nigel argued that even though there may be drawbacks of leaving the EU, the benefits outweighed the costs. Nigel's bottom line is that citizens of Britain deserve true democracy and self-governance as a normal country, as opposed to belonging to the EU and having laws generated by unelected beaureaucrats in Brussels. Nigel argued that freedom, independence, and self governance are more important than the short-term economic outlook of the UK (and more).
I very much admire this man, and wish we had more politicians like him in the United States.
I love the way he stands up for what he believes in and shows no shame in insulting political peers who have helped make a mess of things. I will leave the following videos of Nigel in action below for your enjoyment.
Disclaimer: I am quite resentful toward the average politician and I therefore find the following quite amusing.
Please feel free to add additional amusing Nigel videos in the comments section.
