Was anyone else as cross as I was at the schoolboy antics of the Brexit MEPs at the playing of the Ode to Joy at their swearing in . As representatives of our country they did this country no favours.It's the sort of stupidity one might expect from thirteen year olds . Still we are seeing them in their true light.

Yes I was , I thought it was childish & pathetic.
What a bunch of prats, one can only imagine what they would say if the anyone else behaved in this manner.

Heard the loathsome Farage blustering away on Radio 4 this morning, he said it was because an Italian had described it as a countries' anthem, and he, Farage, was incensed that the EU was described as a country. No allowance made for language errors then, I wonder how good his Italian is? They are all pathetic, stupid little people who through their antics have made a mockery of this country. Just who thought this was ever going to be a good idea? Just when I think things can't get any worse, they do.

I think you'll find that there are a lot of people who agree with you on the AIBU thread.

If any of my children had behaved in this way they would have been given detention.
Total disrespect for this Country.

I can't see why even brexit supporters would think that was all right.
Rude & juvenile.

There is already a thread about this.
Yes, they were utterly stupid, and so were the Lib Dems.
What a reputation we are creating about ourselves abroad.

I have written to complain to my representatives. I think their "jolly japes " have back fired somewhat !

Awful. I don’t expect much from Brexiters, but I certainly expect more than that!

LibDems, however, I would expect to have more dignity and behave in a more mature manner. I’m disappointed in them.

What have the LibDems done?

Just shows how disrespectful our MP's can be. I feel ashamed to think these people are representing our country. The rest of Europe probably think we're all idiots!

Ode to Joy?!!!! A misnomer if ever there was one!!!!
Liberals yellow T shirts had, Stop Brexit it on the front , and B######s to Brexit on the back ! Oh dear, tacky comes to mind!

Jeezo.
Next thing they'll be getting into fights like football hooligans fans.
