UKIP leader Farage rips Goldman Sachs chief over UK quip; refers to Greece

The outspoken UKIP leader pointed the finger at Goldman Sachs involvement in getting Greece into the euro

Newsroom January 25 12:01

British nationalist UKIP Leader Nigel Farage returned to one of his favorite themes on Sunday, namely, bashing the European Union and global investment banks.

The outspoken Farage said EU politics is dominated by “big banks, big business and big government”, in response to a comment made by Goldman Sachs President Gary Cohn, who said the UK should remain in a united Europe.

“Goldman Sachs was politically involved in getting Greece into the euro and having a former employee appointed as the puppet Prime Minister of Italy,” Farage railed.”Goldman Sachs represents the governing status quo and not the global trading capital that the City of London needs to be.”
