'You Are Losing!' Farage Stuns Verhofstadt With Dig at 'on the Payroll' Europhile MEPs

Can’t get enough of him.

NIGEL FARAGE delivered a brutal dig at arch-federalist MEP Guy Verhofstadt as he launched into a tirade dismissing calls for more European integration of member states.  

Nigel Farage brutally took down European Union parliamentarian Guy Verhofstadt after the Belgian politician urged for more cooperation among EU member states.

Mr Farage pointed out to the MEP that recent electoral results across the bloc did not bode well for the bloc due to the surge in support for populist parties.

He told colleagues in Brussels: “There are some like Mr Verhofstadt who think this flag represents a European identity. He clearly identifies as a European.

“Many of you in this room identify as Europeans but you are missing something: the people of Europe do not identify with that flag. They do not identify with the institutions.”

Mr Farage further silenced the meagre crowd of MEPs attending as they attempted to protest against his speech.

He continued: “If you’re on the payroll it’s easy to say it works.

“But actually out there in the real world, there is not a European identity.

“You’re losing folks, you’re losing. Brexit is the first brick out of the wall, you’ll learn the lesson, the days of this project are over.”

Mr Farage also provoked uproar after claiming “Belgium is not a nation” as Belgian PM Charles Michel delivered a speech on the future of Europe.

The former Ukip leader said: “Belgium is not a nation, it’s an artificial creation.

“I know the Brits did it, maybe once again we can be blamed, but the truth is that are two parts of Belgium.They speak different languages, they dislike each other intensively, there is no national tv station, there is no national newspaper.

“Belgium is not a nation and maybe that’s why you’re happy to sign up to a higher European level.”
