Britain's largest group of MEPs (UKIP) turn their backs at EU opening ceremony
The pictures are just being posted as I type this a few minutes ago, apparently the MEPs are all standing to the orchestra playing the EU 'anthem' as the EU 'parliament' opens today while they all look on at the star spangled sphincter EU flag. If any videos emerge of today on the floor fo the chamber I will post them once they're up later on.
Excellent to see though, it's exactly the reason I voted UKIP in the European Elections. Looking forward to lots more trouble.
It looks like too (from pictures I have seen) that Farage has kept his front row seat right next to the EU Commission President as he was able to form a parliamentary group again, if so then he'll have a front seat up against the incoming Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
Edit: Here's what the only remaining Liberal Democrat MEP had to say, with a reply in from a Ukip MEP.....
Handbags at the ready. :P
