EUROPE - Eurocrats who support plans for intensive European Union integration could prove to be a secret weapon for Brexiteers seeking to quit the bloc on time, Nigel Farage suggested. Nigel Farage claimed European politicians have started voicing their discontent towards the United Kingdom for "messing up" the Brexit negotiations. The British Government on Wednesday officially requested an extension of the withdrawal talks until June 30 but Mr Farage suggested "fanatical" pro-EU figures within the bloc would much prefer to see Britain "gone" soon. Speaking to ITV Peston, the British MEP said: "Those who are fanatically pro the EU, those who want the European Army completed by 2025, those who want it to be a United States of Europe – I’m thinking of the Martin Schulzes, the Guy Verhofstadts – some of the key players in Europe are beginning to say ‘the British are messing this up.’
