Nigel Farage might be the rudest man in Europe as he rips Von Rompey a new ass

MEP and UKIP leader Nigel Farage on Wednesday delivered another major tirade against EU President Herman van Rompuy during a debate in the European Parliament. Farage highlighted the undemocratic fashion in which van Rompuy came to power and the effect he’s had on Europe since.

He noted, too, that Greece has been reduced to nothing more than a “protectorate.” Farage added that Van Rompuy had the “charisma of a damp rag” and the appearance of a “low-grade bank clerk” and asked by what process he could be removed from office.

Belgium managed to run itself as dysfunctional as usual without a government for almost nine months. That tells you all you need to know about politics.

Just asking.....but has anybody ever seen van Rompey and a Goleb from Lord of the Rings in the same room?

How Ironic, As the title says - where do I apply ?

An Exercise in Waste

Apparently, the European Parliament is about to open a new embassy to the UK: a very large office in Tothill Street, Westminster, employing 50 or more staff. The rent alone is said to be £1.3 million a year, and another £3 million to renovate it.

But their is a small problem, the plans are now for the EU to either buy outright or rent 32 Smith Square, which has been for years, the Headquarters of the Conservative Party.
The reason? Because the parliament accepts that "unless the institutions can find a building where they will be the sole occupant, permission to fly the EU flag or display other forms of externally visible identification will almost certainly not be given".
And why that permission will not be forthcoming is that having a huge EU flag outside the building will diminish the possible rental income from any sub letting. The reason given was that their is 'such animosity' in London towards the EU flag that it would drive away any potential leasees.

Doesn't the EU having an embassy there imply that Britain is outside the EU? After all, there isn't a French embassy in Paris. They already have the Queen.. who doesn't do anything.
