'Leave and take your flags with you': Furious EU parliament chair CUTS OFF Nigel Farage during his triumphant last speech to Brussels after 21 years - for waving the Union Flag

Nigel Farage was cut off as he delivered his final speech in the European Parliament this afternoon because he and his Brexit Party MEPs started to wave Union flags.

Parliament vice-president Mairead McGuinness switched off Mr Farage's microphone as he was finishing his address as she told the party's MEPs to 'put your flags away, you are leaving'.

The cheering Brexit Party contingent then proceeded to get up and walk out of the chamber.

The stormy clash took place as MEPs rubberstamped the Brexit divorce deal - the final hurdle which needed to be cleared for the UK to leave the EU at 11pm on January 31.

...

Mr Farage had used his speech to tell the European Parliament that this was the 'final chapter, the end of the road' for the UK and the bloc after a 47 year 'political experiment that the British frankly have never been very happy with'.

...

But he said the 'British are too big to bully, thank goodness', adding: 'We love Europe. We just hate the European Union. I am hoping this begins the end of this project.'

Mr Farage suggested that the 'anti-democratic' bloc was not in tune with what modern voters are looking for.

'You may loathe populism but I will tell you a funny thing, it is becoming very popular,' he said.

That was an absolutely phenomenal speech. He clearly had a ton of fun delivering it, and got in a lot of great digs at the EU. The completely juvenile - but very funny -- waving of flags at the end was priceless.

Just hilarious.

The EU will disintegrate before 2021.

There are at least three other nations that want out. Poland is one of them.

Indignant hubris beyond measure. What the “Junkers” in Brussels cannot stand is freedom from beyond their clutches and control. Pound sand bastards!

I’ll bet the EUSSR permits the homofascist rainbow flag.

As a proud Polish-American, that is wonderful to contemplate.

In the meantime, Rule Britannia ... Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!

Typical left-winger. Couldn't come up with anything original to save his life.

Fetcher Christian : [wanting to flog Capt. Bligh before putting him in the boat, but he slowly puts the Captain's whip on Bligh's shoulder] "Take your flag with you."

Captain Bligh : [chuckling while rolling the whip, then throws it on the deck] I don't need a flag, Mr. Christian. Unlike you, I still have a country. What a big price to pay for a little show of temper. I pity you.

That was great! The only thing missing was him getting on top of her desk peeing on it and saying “take this union and shove it.”

Outstanding!
