UKIP’s Nigel Farage brands EU a BURNING BUILDING and urges public to RUN for the exit door

NIGEL Farage has likened the European Union to a “burning building” and urged the British public to dash to the “exit door”.

The UKIP leader said: “The more I look at the EU — we’ve a currency crisis tearing north and south apart, a migrant crisis leading to walls being built in Austria and Hungary — Schengen isn’t working nothing is working.

“It’s in a permanent, perpetual crisis.

Mr Farage said ahead of a speech to huddles of supporters at Wolverhampton race course: “The EU looks like a burning building but there’s an exit door, and I suggest on June 23, we take it.”

Mr Farage condemned the prime minister’s deal and branded it a “Cam-Sham” which would change nothing.

He said: "There was going to be fundamental reform and change, big treaty changes — well, nothing like that has happened.

Mr Farage added: “It doesn't address the major issues that concern the British public which are; why can't we veto a bad law, why is it costing us over £50 million a day, and why do we have an open door to over 500 million people.

“The European Parliament can water down or even veto the changes to migrant benefits and all the rest of it can be ruled out of court by the European Court of Justice.

"It's not a renegotiation, it's Cam-Sham."

Mr Farage added that he was happy to work with politicians of any stripe so as long as they backed leaving the EU.

On Friday he appeared alongside Respect Party leader George Galloway at the anti-EU Grassroots Out event in London.

He said: "I would be diametrically opposed to George (Galloway) on a whole host of issues.

"Sometimes in life things come along that are bigger, more fundamental and more important than normal Left/Right divides in politics.

"This question of whether we're a self-governing nation, whether we're a democracy, whether we rule ourselves, make our own decisions in terms of our friends and trade partners in the world, transcends all traditional boundaries."
