They sang us “Auld Lang Syne” and you, Farage, in your turn, made an idiot (me being polite) of yourself.
Now, I’d imagine that most people in Brussels know that you’re a blethering old drunk who smells like a stale ashtray, and, as such, they probably don’t listen to you, your little playmates or, indeed, your mad old Granny Ann.
But I’d lay money on the fact that this clip will have been shown on news programmes around the world, from Greenland to New Zealand; from Japan to Paraguay.
You just showed the world what a set of ill-mannered, immature, boors you are, and your behaviour will have refected not just on your miserable selves, but on your country too.
Furthermore, with a set of extremely difficult negotiations yet to come with the EU, you have done your beloved UK absolutely no favours… and, make no mistake, favours will be what the UK will be looking for.
Even fervent supporters of Brexit will have thought you an embarrassment.
We most certainly cringed.

Far from it. Delusions of adequacy more like.

Scotland is a European country and has links with the continent going back many hundreds of years before the union with England.
These Rule Britannia flag waving morons do not represent our country in any shape or form.
The European parliament’s gain however,in seeing the back of these idiots,is our loss.
If our fellow Scots allow them to continue to foist their quaint Olde English customs on us then we will truly never return to engagement with our fellow European citizens.
England,due to it’s empire baggage,was never going to fit in with a union based on equal partnership,as we Scots know only too well.
Until or if ever they wise up to their real place in the 21st century global community,they represent a threat to others,especially us.

The weird thing is that we were in charge. Nothing substantive happened without UK agreement. And a good chunk of that was the UK getting its own way through skilled diplomacy eg the EU single market was a Thatcher policy guided through the EU by Lord Cockcroft.
For too many years the EU was a stitch-up between France, Germany and the UK. The EU in those years was controlled by the so-called big 3. Even after that ended with the foundation of the European Council, the UK still totally bossed it.

As far as the UK is concerned, between Brentry in 1973 and Brexit there have been four recessions, three boom/busts in the housing market and a gradual erosion of manufacturing capacity. Periods of sustained growth – first in the 1980s and again, more enduringly, in the 1990s and early 2000s – culminated in painful slumps. North Sea oil has come and gone, its proceeds squandered.

Brexitannia – a paean
Now dawns the day, the hour is at hand
when Britons liberate their glorious land.
From foreign laws and trammels free,
we do restore our sacred liberty.
Dagoes, Eyeties, Frogs and Krauts we shun,
with Belgians, Greeks and Dutch we’ve done:
we’ve smashed the fetters, cut and run
to take our right place in the sun.
With a world of opportunity before us,
no Johnny Foreigner hovering o’er us,
we’ll show that we’re no more their fools
as bold Britannia waives the rules.
Our argosies shall roam all seas
and Britons trade with whom they please,
riches and treasures to bear home
from every land across the foam.
Gold, silver, silks and spices fine,
exotic fruits and honeyed wine,
furs, leathers fine and jewels bright
in trade for jams and famed Marmite.
But should some upstart power decide
to challenge the Lion in his pride,
our Navy bold shall guard the ocean’s lanes
with both our carriers that have no planes.
And, yea, our submarines on the Clyde,
except when all are moored alongside,
shall deter any foolish foe
who would ‘gainst Albion strike a blow –
to them our missile strike oblivion bodes
as long as Yanks give us the codes.
No gold-starred blue flag o’er our land shall fly
our sacred Union Flag instead shall flutter high
against our nation’s sunlit sky.
Around our rugged coasts and gentle sands
no rapacious fishing boats from foreign lands
shall any longer dredge the bounty of the sea –
a sea now British ‘til eternity.
Likewise, no Czech, Romanian or Pole
shall force young Britons to the dole.
There shall be work aplenty in our land
to which our sturdy lads can turn their hand.
Young damsels too, Britain’s beauties,
shall henceforth glory in national duties,
in caring for Britons of older age,
while generously paid a minimum wage.
Fruit-picking, lifting spuds and such like rural joys
shall breed a race of healthy girls and boys,
who will, in time, serve in our armed forces,
maintaining Britain in her courses,
to rule and guide the globe entire,
once more as Britannia’s great Empire!
Ignore the whining of Remainer curs,
Northern Irish dolts and, even worse,
mad Scots who would be independent –
instead hail Britannia now transcendent.
So raise your bumper, peal the bell
and welcome Britain…into Hell!
