..to find the behaviour of Brexit MEPs rude and embarassing

It belongs to us all, it is not the flag of the Brexit Party.

Is there any point in objecting pinkquartz? Would such people even care what we think? If NF is correct they, and he of course, have been on a jolly. Remember his rant to the MEPs that they'd never done a day's work in their lives?

I expect he's got something in the pipeline so boost his hefty EU pension. I like to think their behaviour today would make them unemployable elsewhere.

I voted to Leave. I love Europe but not the EU. Picking up their desk flags and waving them about was a juvenile display. His speech would have had more gravitas without the silly pantomime. I can only think he got carried away with the euphoria of it all. No excuse though, he must have known the rules.

It was just very embarrassing for the British people especially when it was alongside some lovely goodbyes from other leaders. They behaved like immature schoolchildren.

hideous and shameful is all I will say

It must have been planned or they wouldn’t have had the silly little flags to wave about, surely?

And they were being paid to be there, so it was in the 'firm's' time so to speak.

Something a little more uplifting …

It was appalling. Let’s hope we don’t have to see anything more of him.
He was bad enough but, although I’ve never much liked Anne Widdecombe, I was saddened to see someone who has devoted her life to main stream politics waving her flag too.

Do we all agree? Is this a first on GN?

Embarrassing infantile behaviour, how dare they , I wanted Brexit but ashamed of that rabble.. Farage has no place now and will disappear from whence he came, as for Ann Widdicome has she completely lost the plot?

A toe-curling, shameful, national embarrassment.

It’s all been said really. Dreadful, infantile, embarrassing.

I really hope, and do believe, that Farage is now yesterday’s man.

Vile vile man, they behaved like kiddies in the playground. At least they cut his microphone off! I sincerely hope the EU don't think we all condone this behaviour and think this way.

Pamela those who have posted are in agreement but there appears to be a deafening silence from several usually vociferous posters. I guess they can’t defend him but won’t condemn him.

I CAN'T LET IT BE 100%. YES, I'M SHOUTING, NIGEL WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS PROOF ONE MAN CAN TAKE ON THE EU AND WIN. WATCH IT ALL FALL BIT BY BIT NOW AND THE REST OF THOSE COUNTRIES WILL BE FREE SOON TOO, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY NOT REALISE WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM YET. OH, HAPPY DAYS

Someone has spectacularly missed the point. I think you can be both a Brexiter and condemn his behaviour. Its called being a grown up who can think. Shouting about your God just makes you look silly.

Proof of childishness from quizqueen

They were an embarrassment. Let's hope that's the last we see of them all.

It was like watching a comedy sketch albeit not a funny one.
Very embarrassing.
Very immature.

quizqueen, that was 1) very rude and 2) quite irrational.

Phew -a wonderful outbreak of unity on Gransnet (except one poster)

I voted Remain but accepted the outcome with great sadness. Our European neighbours behaved with dignity and friendship. As annodomini says, it's our flag and this lot once again used it to demonstrate some kind of awful Empire, Little Englander we ruled the world approach. Disgusting, shaming and makes me so cross. I would like this country to be able to use its flag with pride but people like Farage, Tommy Robinson and the EDL (who support him, of course they do) persist in mis-using our flag.
I downloaded Ode to Joy - there's a desire to have it top the download chart this week.

Oh dear quizqueen

not embarrassed at all proud that they waved OUR union jack flag, proud to be British, Bye Bye EU

Oh well, for a moment there I thought we had all agreed that yesterday was an embarassing, toe curling display, but one person chose to show herself up in as spectacular a way as her idols. Just as daft as those she worships. Also, jane1956, this flag is mine, not just yours and I am appalled to see it misused in such a way. Hopefully a couple of you will feel ashamed of your comments, even those of us with strongly opposing views on Brexit have managed to be adults and condemn yesterday's disgraceful behaviour. Stop shouting quizqueen it does look very silly you know.
