Is Nigel Farage an embarrassment to the UK?

Ayesha Hazarika says Farage's goodbye speech "was the equivalent of us soiling ourselves in public" - but Lowri Turner argues: "Had remainers won, you'd have been doing a conga around Parliament."

A once great get stuffed, we still are a bloody great Country that's why so many want to risk life and limb to get here. The UK is fantastic. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

He gave a poignant speech after talking about the exact moment when he knew we had to leave the Eu. I wish more people would watch it as it was heart felt

[ACAB]

As a german i have to say it was brilliant 🤣👍👏

[lisachrister]

NI-GEL NI-GEL....Didn't these tearful LD MEPs (losing the gravy train) have scarves with national flags on?

[paulgreaves]

No flags allowed but scarfs ok, one rule one, one rule for another.

[edwardbevington]

This shows got TERRIBLE since wrighty left and he wasn't brilliant....

[cunus]

Oh yes, I really want to hear the opinions of some biased, lefty remoaners.

After everything the EU has done to stymie the LEAVE vote, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to rub their noses in it. Job well done Mr Farage! ...

[six-star-hotels]

Embarrassing and very cheap behaviour!!

[kfh]

Way to go and wave your flag, we are waving our flags here in the USA TOO. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 LIVE LONG

[filth]

The saltiness is strong in these people.

No, quite the Contrary, history will show Nigel Farage as The Hero Of Brexit, he's a national hero....A Knighthood or A Lordship Is not enough, perhaps at least a Statue To Begin believe She Wept...."Take you're Flags and Go' Dignified? Please, at least lose with some Indeoendant Britian, hilarious ladies.

[Desperatedan]

I think the question that is not being asked is why the national flags were banned. It seemed sensible foe MEP's to be able to identify their nationality. Another ludicrous stupid EU rule. How stupidly pedantic the EU behaved.

Oye I ain't no fan of the great Britain

But Nigel did good there.

DIGNITY!!!! That is what Arthur Daley aspires to as his deceit and dodgy dealing depend it. Much of the French aristocracy were dignified on the scaffold but it was all the effort they put into being dignified while not keeping their eye on the ball that got them there. The USAF had a crew room poster with a head on view of an eagle with talons forward. In the fore ground was the back view of a mouse with a paw and two (it might have been one) digits raised. The title was The Last Great Act of Defiance. The EU is still there, beyond Dunkirk, with about as much idea of what is happening as the louder two of the three ladies. Dignity is easy to ignore these days and, even worse, give rises to suspicion where it looks insincere. If Farage had said, "Goodbye Guy it was nice knowing you" these two ladies would have accused him of being sarcastic and probably in more coloquial terms. Farage sometimes talks with a pint in his hand but does not sound like a bar room barrister; the two aforementioned ladies sound like the real thing. The flag waving reminded me of what parents and teachers got children to do during the coronation and that looked like wholesome community celebration. Of course it would have looked defiant if there had been a third party making it illegal to do such a thing for fear of loosing it's control. At present this video has 12 thumbs up to 69 down. That is because Farage has an unblinkered working brain. If the reader has got this far I am sure they can complete the comparison.

No ! Nigel is not an embarrassment. Jeremy Vine is the embarrassment. In my opinion Nigel Farrage is a staunch patriot, on a par with Winston Churchill. Only vine and the "rejoin idiots"will say this was embarrasing.

[Dnto]

No. Not even a little. He's a real character. What this country used to be fantastically well known for.

[sonofsomerset]

What a biased question, Nigel is a national hero, unlike his critics that hate the country they live in, very sad people.
The irony for Jeremy to dare to even ask that question wearing a shirt like that!

[nancytolman]

Pity the BBC doesn't show the same drive and patriotism instead of the anti Farage anti British rhetoric we get the whole time. Typical Anti Brexit presenters we have all had to put up with for nearly 4 years.

[discodave]

Haha just fell off my chair watching these get upset
