Rejected petition Censure Nigel Farage MEP for his outburst in the European Parliament on 28/6/16
MEPs our the representatives of the British public in the European Parliament. Therefore, when they speak, they speak on behalf of us all. Mr Farage unleashed a torrent of ill-informed abuse on the 28th June, days after the British EU referendum.
More details
When Mr Farage said, "Now I know virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your lives. Or worked in business or worked in trade or indeed ever created a job." Not only did he offend every member of the European Parliament, he also brought shame and indignity on the British people.
This kind of behaviour wouldn't be tolerated in a classroom. So much more so that he is televised and splashed across the papers.
The undersigned therefore call on the government to issue a formal censure.
