If my life's not going well, it's the fault of the immigrants.

I'm worried I wasn't structured enough in thinking through the European Union.

If we go through the little list of arguments they would have made, they would have said 10 years ago, Britain was too regulated, too uncompetitive,

Europe was growing too slowly and politicians weren't accountable.

And I think it's possible for us to say all those things were correct, but leaving the European Union didn't fix any of them.

Because what it turned out what happened is that we left the European Union.

We didn't fix any of those things.

So it would be a bit like my life's going badly.

And I blame my friends or I blame my partner.

And I imagine if I just leave my partner, I don't talk to my friends anymore.

Again, just to explain to the audience, basically, this is about banning

The AFD.

Parts of the AFD.

So what you would do is you'd use this procedure to say, actually, this is a neo-fascist organization that is a profound danger to the German constitution.

These were the things that were put in place after the Second World War.

What are the lessons that how would we have stopped the Nazi party from rising?

Well, we should have said in 1929, the Nazi party is not a legitimate democratic political force.

It's banned by the constitutional court.

It can't run.
