Brexit supporter and British politician from the Unied Kingdom Independece Party (UKIP) Nigel Farage taunted the European Parliament and its members from other countries and was greeted with boos.

After wishing a very good morning to the Parliamentarians who were already booing him, Farage started by saying:

Isn’t it funny? You know, when I came here 17 years ago, and I said that I wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain to leave the European Union, you all laughed at me. Well, I have to say, you’re not laughing now are you?

The taunt was followed by a monologue by Farage in which he criticised German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision last year to let migrants into the EU. He added, “As a policy to impose poverty on Greece and the rest of the Mediterranean, you have done very well.”

By stealth, by deception, without ever telling the truth to the British or the peoples of Europe, you have imposed upon them a political union. And when the people, in 2005, in Netherlands and France, voted against the political union, they rejected the Constitution, you simply ignored them and brought the Lisbon Treaty in through the back door.

After another monologue where Farage said that none of the parliamentarians had any sense of business, following were the reactions, along with continuous booing and protests.
