00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,839
I'm George Galloway Member of Parliament

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:10,840
and presenter of press TV's comment

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:13,679
program every week at this time I answer

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:18,520
the best question that's been sent to us

5
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:22,560
at hash ask Galloway Adnan asked me to

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:25,240
sum up Nigel farage in just three words

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:29,640
I agonized about that but here are my

8
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:32,640
three words a lucky man he's lucky

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,200
because he's the principal beneficiary

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,079
of the movement the swelling tide of

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:42,520
disdain even derision against the

12
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:45,000
British political class he is actually a

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,760
part of that political class he's a

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,399
former Banker he's a man who says he

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,239
hates Europe but has made Millions out

16
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:56,719
of Europe a man who knows his way around

17
00:00:53,239 --> 00:00:59,280
every French menu in every one of the

18
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:02,320
best restaurants in Brussels he's not

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,799
actually a reactionary or a racist

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,159
although he whips up reactionaries and

21
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:10,759
racists for votes and he's w a very

22
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:12,759
large number of them he won the last

23
00:01:10,759 --> 00:01:15,640
national election in Britain the

24
00:01:12,759 --> 00:01:20,320
European Parliament election and he did

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:23,920
it on that tide of anti-politics I wish

26
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:26,960
I could be as successful as him at

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:30,280
riding that particular horse but it's

28
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:32,479
easy to sell racist and reactionary

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,600
anti-european Prejudice to the

30
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:37,119
simple-minded it's a little more

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,720
difficult to sell the kind of politics

32
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:43,840
that I'm trying to sell I don't know if

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:46,479
his luck will hold into 2015 but he's

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,280
definitely made a silk purse out of the

35
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:54,799
s's ear of the United Kingdom

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,799
independence party remember Ash as

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,520
