Nigel Farage jeered and booed as he tells MEPs they are 'in denial' over Brexit
The Telegraph ^ | 06/28/2016 | By Michael Wilkinson

Ukip leader Nigel Farage was jeered by the European Parliament after he told MEPs that they were "in denial" about Brexit and that they had "never had a proper job before". His astonishing speech at a special meeting of the European Parliament today ended with boos echoing through the Brussels chamber. Mr Farage used his speech to declare that Brexit was "a beacon of hope" to other member states but he also infuriated MEPs when he said: "Now, I know that virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your lives or worked in business or worked in trade or indeed ever created a job. But listen, just listen." When MEPs turned their backs to him and Martin Schulz, the president of the parliament, intervened, Mr Farage responded: "You’re quite right, Mr Schulz. Ukip used to protest against the establishment. Now the establishment protests against Ukip. So something has happened here."

"Now, I know that virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your lives or worked in business or worked in trade or indeed ever created a job. But listen, just listen."

So very true... and it hit home for these elites.

Is he available for a Trump VP spot?

Don’t worry....those intellectual EU guys are hustling up new regulations on lawn chairs, ceiling fans, and chop sticks as we speak. They won’t let a silly thing like BREXIT hinder their great contribution to society and European culture.

How did the Clintons become millionaires without a job? How is giving speeches millionaire worthy?

They will attempt to punish England for their daring, and although things will get hard on the English I believe the EU will eventually fail.

“How is giving speeches millionaire worthy?”

Tell that to the celebrities, new anchors, radio personalities, etc. Even Clintons, they employ support staff, so you could say they create jobs. Now, the VALUE they provide you can question.

Says it all:

But the biggest problem you’ve got, and the main reason the United Kingdom voted the way that it did, is that you have, by stealth, by deception, without ever telling the truth to the British or the rest of the people’s of Europe, you have imposed upon them a political union.

It's unfortunate that the very last words of his statement were..."Let's cut between us a sensible tariff free deal and thereafter recognize that the United Kingdom will be your friend - that we will trade with you - we will cooperate with you - we will be your best friends in the world. But do that, do it sensibly and allow us to go off and pursue our global ambitions in the future. Thank you."

Farage made a huge mistake by suggesting the EU should be reserved the power to allow any control over the UK - whatsoever. The additional suggestion that the UK would cooperate implies the migrant crisis will continue unabated. Whose side is Nigel on now?

Farage will go down in history as one of the greatest British politicians ever.
