I have just watched Farage address the European parliament and am not the happy bunny.
Although I agree most of the points he made does he have to show such blatant disrespect by telling them that "they have never had proper jobs"!
First he insults them and then mentions being friends, what world does he live in.
He could take a lesson from my karate, we always show proper respect to an opponent. If you show respect, you gain respect.
The way he is going someone is going to pop him one. He is outright provocative.
I said earlier, elsewhere:
"What we see today is that one of the politicians who wanted to get us out, instead of going to the European Parliament and wishing them well without the UK - as no doubt he would wish the UK to be wished in its future lone course ahead - took the opportunity to berate and belittle his fellow representatives:
?Virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your lives,? Ukip leader tells MEPs in belligerent speech after Brexit vote
This comes across not as a mission to give the UK a better deal, but as a deliberate political attempt to crash the European Union and revel in the outcome.
We need 21st century politics for 21st century life and forward-looking leadership - not plotting and scheming behind the scenes, as with a referendum campaign ?won? through misrepresentation and selective half-baked efforts, simply aimed to crash the political and trading structures that have been painstakingly built up across Europe, and have given us security and peace, along with a degree of resilience to corporate globalisation, over the last 40+ years."
