BBC News - Tirade against 'damp rag' EU president shocks MEPs
Quality
Watch Van Rumpoy's expression drain as his pompous self importance is pricked by Nigel Farage.
Not been a good week for the socialists (communists) so far.

If only there where a few more there like this chap
Leader of UKIP eh, maybe a force to be reconed with, likely to be sidelined by the rest of the Euro gravy-train MEP's

Whatever one thinks of Rempuy who seems to be less than impressive, I think that that outburst was ill mannered especially when he insulted Belgium, which was quite unecessary.
Farage could have got his points across easily enough without letting himself and GB down in such a manner.

not a good advert for our country really, there are ways and means of achieving your aims and although being a gobby **** is one of them it doesn't show much eloquence...I did enjoy watching him get ridiculed on Question Time though.

I certainly have no affinity with Van Rumpiy, or the position he holds. I just don't think Farage's approach was appropriate

As for Farage well he's needs the likes of Van Rumpy pumpy and the EU, without them he has no party or platform.
Be interesting to put a lie detector on Farage and find out if he REALLY wants 'UK independence' from the EU

As an aside, doesn't taking grave offence at everything you don't agree with become a bit of a burden eventually?

I think you would be surprised, Farage probably only says what the majority in this country are thinking. It doesn't mean to say that the majority are right of course, but most people take a pretty straightforward view of things; if it smells like horsesh*t, it probably is horsesh*t!

This comes from the man who's current political idol is being reported in the
press for using bullying tactics towards his staff
pot kettle black???
At least Nigel Farage has the ***** to stand up and tell someone what he
thinks, rather than sit in his seat and look l bored to death like like some of
them in that clip.

That was just excruciatingly embarrassing. Flange must be mistakenly thinking he is the "Nasty" judge on some 3rd rate talent show. The foofing idiot won't get anywhere fast behaving like that. It's time we had some "Old School" political gravitas.

What on earth makes you think I support Brown, in fact I was totally opposed to him becoming PM, and without a shadow of doubt will be voting against him at the next election
