.......and what did the brexit MEPs have on their?

[ToraToraTora]

they've got a bit of a cheek calling themselves "democrats".

[shoota]

T shirts stupid.
Turning backs stupid.
Euro anthem stupid.
Whole bloody palaver stupid.

'O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
Sondern lasst uns angenehmere
anstimmen und freudenvollere.
Freude! Freude!'

[Old_Geezer]

It's merely making points. a) Democrats hold the EU in contempt, b) anti-Democrats hold the democratic decision of our nation in contempt. Both have 'shown their true colours' and 'nailed them to the mast'.

Nothing, they are far too dignified to turn up at such a formal occasion dressed in a T-Shirt.

[Old_Geezer]

They have the whole of the EU on their backs.

[aelmpvw]

yellow? whose idea was that?

[naomi24]

Brits abroad, eh? Tut!

[webbo3]

I’m still puzzled as to why a trading bloc needs an anthem, as far as I aware none of the others do.

[anneasquith]

Very adult behaviour. Bet they gained a lot of respect, or,,,,,,, maybe not ,,!!

//Westminster MPs tore into the display. Labour's David Lammy accused them of doing 'their best to isolate the UK from the world'.//
Well Mr Lammy I have News for you. The EU is not the World!

I wonder how the word 'Yellow' became attached to cowardliness?

[dannyk13]

AOG //To be yellow-bellied is to be cowardly or easily scared. ... This word originally applied to birds that literally have a yellow belly, like the yellow-bellied sapsucker. From there, it came to mean an insult for cowards.//

Interesting that, thanks Danny.

[ludwig]

It looks a bit childish. Just staying seated would be enough.

[weecalf]

So Nigel’s party will turn their back on the wages too . Ok Nigel let us know Wont you .

[Spicerack]

Lammy's still upset about all the soldiers killed in WW2 fighting for the EU.

[Old_Geezer]

Since they made the effort to get elected and even turn up, there's no reason nor justification that they would gift the EU their salaries. You may has been confused by the friendly activities suggesting the Brexit party and the EU were the best of chums.

[andy-hughes]

I fail to see how a party that professes to operate in a democratic society, is willing to scorn the will of the people it is supposed to represent.

[jim360]

Not sure how they're failing to do that -- people who voted for the Lib Dems in the most recent elections are hardly pro-Brexit. Same as I'm not sure that Brexit Party supporters would be too upset to see their MEPs show such scorn for the EU Parliament.

I mean I still wish that the LibDems hadn't worn those t-shirts, but still.
