Nigel Farage calls for "grown up attitude" from Brussels - then tells MEPs "I know many of you have never done a proper job in your lives"
Farage on fire in the Brussels parliament, "I know that virtually none of you has ever had a proper job in your lives"
Wow - I can't believe what I'm hearing! Nigel Farage to MEPs: 'most of you have never done a proper job'
"None of you have ever had a proper job in your lives" - Nigel Farage tells EU Parliament #VictoriaLIVE
Haven't had the chance to watch yet, but its being reported in various ways.
I went on the Victoria Derbyshire quote as it was the first one i heard.
Let's be clear about Farage. He wanted out of the EU but was happy to take his fat salary from them
the total hypocrite.
His attendance rate at the European Parliament is piss poor as well as his attendance at the Fisheries group he is in , yet he organises a Thames demo about fisheries.
Maybe if had played the system and worked in his group the fishing industry might have benefited.
He is a lazy sound bite politician who learned from Hitler that if you say a big lie often enough people start to believe it.

Really we shall see
All I'd say is the Remain campaign was piss poor and brexit was pandering to the worst racist fears of the old and dull.
However most of the Press were pro brexit and ramped up the fears.
Why ? What do Murdoch and company gain ? Probably fewer restrictions on the way they operate to make more money.
Greedy capitalism dressed up as patriotism , the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Although I disagree with the "performance" by Farage today in the European Parliament (what is the point of such provocation?), I do agree with the above points and these sentiments summarise the reasons I voted "Leave". The key phrases are gravy train, career politicians who only care for maintaining the status quo, bureaucracy, money wasting and uncontrolled immigration (from the EU). Examples of money wasting are the estimated £130 million PER MONTH moving the parliament from Strasbourg to Brussels for a few days and the estimated 10,000 EU employees who earn more than £70,000 p.a. (That's only the top 10,000!).
According to the EU website (take a look at it if you want to see the extent of this bloated regime):
Around 33,000 people are employed by the European Commission. In the European Parliament, around 6,000 people work in the general secretariat and in the political groups. They are joined by Members of Parliament and their staff (don't know if these are included in the 6,000 or if these are in addition). In the Council of the European Union, around 3 500 people work in the general secretariat. With a permanent staff of around 1,750 linguists and 600 support staff, the European Commission has one of the largest translation services in the world. The Commission's interpretation service employs 600 staff interpreters, a pool of 3,000 freelance interpreters and 250 support staff.
And I thought the Welsh Assembly was bad!
But then I am one of the old and dull (according to an earlier poster) so please feel free to ignore my comments. Oh to be young and clever again.
He's campaigned for decades for us to leave the EU, you can hardly blame him for having a bit of fun at finally achieving his goals. Junker had similar fun back at him. It's all a bit petty really, but I doubt very much that it will have any effect when the negotiating starts.
People might want to bite their nose of to spite their face but in general the winner will be whatever the markets want and not what a few egos choose.
