WASHINGTON, DC – UKIP leader Nigel Farage today addressed a meeting at the Heritage Foundation, in Washington DC, where he slammed President Barack Obama and the U.S. State Department for their continued interventions in the debate surrounding Britain’s European Union membership.

...He began with the Greek crisis, slamming the big American banking conglomerates who he said had “cooked the books” for Greece to qualify for Euro membership.

“Obama keeps saying that Greece must stay in the Euro”, he said, but “the only way that Germany and Greece can work together inside a monetary union is if the Greeks become like the Germans or the Germans become like the Greeks. It ain’t going to happen.”

And while he has been hopeful of a Grexit for sometime, Mr Farage’s response to the most recent developments in Greece laid the blame squarely at the feet of Greek PM Alexis Tsipras.

“I’m sorry, but Mr Tsipras doesn’t have much courage… he’s marched the Greek people up to the top of the hill, and he’s marched them back down again,” said Mr Farage, reflecting on how during the Great Depression, America’s economy fell 16 per cent, while Greece’s has so far fell by over 26 per cent.”
