Just who the hell do you people think you are? - Peter Presland - 26-11-2010 I'm not a particular fan if Nigel Farage. He's a 'Little Englander' - or rather a 'little UKer' and anyone promoting the UK state as something worthy of promotion and praise is going to struggle for my support. It rather reminded me of another prima-dona - Gorgeous George - when he addressed the US Congress. That said, this extraordinary performance at the EU parliament yesterday is impressive in it's contempt for the High and Mighty, by any standards. Quote:"Good morning Mr. van Rompuy, you’ve been in office for one year, and in that time the whole edifice is beginning to crumble, there’s chaos, the money’s running out, I should thank you - you should perhaps be the pinup boy of the euroskeptic movement. But just look around this chamber this morning, look at these faces, look at the fear, look at the anger. Poor Barroso here looks like he’s seen a ghost. They’re beginning to understand that the game is up. And yet in their desperation to preserve their dream, they want to remove any remaining traces of democracy from the system. And it’s pretty clear that none of you have learned anything.The whole thing lasts just four minutes and the above partial transcript does NOT do it justice. Worth 4 minutes of your time just to watch the expression on van Rompuy's face.
