That is not the way to engage/play in diplomacy and negotiation.
My first thought too and very disrespectful, not the kind of behaviour you'd expect from someone in that position

He reacted to the ridiculous position the EU keep putting him in. Listen to Mr. Junckers speech, saying "Why are you still here!?". He has every right to still be there, seeing as he is democratically elected and Artice 50 has still not been initiated.

THEY laughed at him 17 years ago when he said he wanted to see the UK leave the EU.

Today THEY lied yet again, by claiming that he lied over this £350 Million figure, this figure was quoted by the official 'Vote Leave' campaign headed by Boris and Gove which Nigel Farage had NOTHING to do with. Nigel Farage worked with the Leave.EU campaign and never once set foot on their giant red bus. These are two seperate organisations working to achieve the same thing.

To be honest, I don't blame him for a single word he said today. As far as I'm concerned the rest are all part of the same little cliquey club at the expense of the average working man and woman in Europe, and push their agenda through a phoney marketing ploy of how it makes us all better off.

I was embarrassed to be an englishman watching Farage delivering. I have more time for the other speakers who were criticising the campaign. I hope someone takes the out campaign to court for misrepresentation. I could have said lying. I have more faith in the judiciary than in politicians.

Not at all.
I thought Nigel Farage was supposed to be better than them. Sadly he is at best the same or more likely worse

Basically he can say what he likes, he's out of a job soon anyway.

We've all wanted to say something similar when on the way out of the door.
