I was going to post about the Brexit Party rally, having now watched it. However, today events at the EU parliament have overshadowed it.
It seems the Liberal Democrats have turned up in "bollocks to Brexit" shirts and then to top it off the Brexit Party MEPs turned their backs when the EU anthem was played.
It's difficult to know which is more embarrassing. Turning your back on a national anthem, whatever the circumstances, is just rude and childish. It's quite frightening that they all seemed to deem it a good idea. Did not a single one of them have the sense to point out a) how rude it would be, and b) how bad it would look?
It's easy fodder for Brexit critics that's for sure.
All they had to do was turn up, act dignified and vote in our interests. They're effectively just placeholders really until Brexit gets resolved. To be fair the writing was on the wall already looking at some of the social media output from Brexit Party MEPs. They're basically going over there and nitpicking every little thing. Like they're on that Channel Four programme Four In A Bed. I'm surprised they haven't complained about finding pubes in the shower or dust on the curtain rails.
It just doesn't feel serious.
