Farage and his barmy little Englanders with their cocktail stick flag stunt were a disgrace today especially in the light of several conciliatory speeches from Guy Verhofstad and others


His MEP career over and as he bottled standing at the stump for the UK Parliament, he's now just returning to being a populist rabble rouser with no formal mandate and a shock jock radio career

Just plain embarrassing
 
It's dreadful, this should not be the way the UK depart the EU whatever our feelings are toward some of the MEPs and the EU itself, the U.K has never been in such a weak position as we will under the WA. Logic and common sense says we need a sensible trade deal with our closest market, this will require negotiating and compromise, it doesn't need Farage and gang shouting abuse to the point the EU are glad the U.K are gone. From next Monday life will be pretty much normal for the EU but without dealimg with the BP pr1cks, whereas the U.K. will be beholden to the EU rules and regs, paying for it and 11 months away from crashing out with No Deal or asking for an extension (don't be surprised). Our problem is the longer the EU operate without the Uk in their thoughts, the more they will lose the desire to compromise on their red lines.

We are leaving, but a bit of realism and professionalism wouldn't go amiss.

Had to laugh at Widdecombe struggling to stand up to wave her flag (which had dropped to half mast)

Be interesting to watch the Ch4 doc on Farage tonight

Glad to see you're not sulking about Brexit any more.

Rules my friend, rules
Which she ignored when those she liked were waving the flags of the EU and UK 'combined'. Hypocrisy from her, and she's only there - like most of them - because she couldn't cut it in the 'big league at home, in the ROI... :ROFLMAO:

I'm not sulking at all. I accept the vote decision. As @runny egg rightly points out , his job leaving should be to build bridges for future trade and relationships

I don’t write down here any more as it really is too depressing and pointless; well, mainly a complete waste of my valuable life but one question has come to my mind this evening...

So, to you in particular or any other popularlists who want to comment, are you proud of Mr, Farage’s final stunt/performance or ashamed? Or maybe no opinion at all?

Nope, he's not a diplomat, trade envoy or even an MEP; and, anyway, he wouldn't be much good at the first two. His role has been to articulate the dissatisfaction felt with the EU and then to mobilise the dissatisfied. He gets 10 out of 10 on both counts. For myself, he should be given a peerage - since they exist - and be allowed to crow about how right he was in his political career, just like the rest of them do.

You have been sadly missed... :(

Firstly, I'm not a populist, not in the proper sense - or spelling - of the word anyway; although I am a populist from what I take to be your meaning by it, i.e. someone who thinks differently to you and who's preferred political direction has been more successful than yours. :happy:

As for what happened in the EP today, I am amused by Farage, a bit, and a little irritated that he didn't hammer home a few more facts and give some cheer to other Eurosceptic parties sitting there. Thinking still further on it, I feel he should have gone for a much larger size of the union flag - I think that a good 20' x 10' would have been much better. :)
