‘They have caused this’ Nigel Farage blasts European leaders after fatal Barcelona attack, by Vincent Wood.

The attack in Las Ramblas, Barcelona, has been met by an outcry of sympathy from leaders including Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron and Theresa May.

Farage said: “What happens is they all stand up and they say ‘We stand in solidarity with Barcelona, or Brussels, or Stockholm, or Paris, or London or wherever it may be, and this is really truly awful’.

“There is no understanding of why this is going on and not once, not once, do we ever hear a single leader in Europe offer any policy solution whatsoever.

“They are still in denial, and my only guess is that they are so embarrassed by the fact that they have caused this.”

While the former Ukip leader did not explain how leaders had caused the attacks, he quickly moved on to talk about Brexit, and the importance of border control.
