                <![CDATA[As a post-script to this episode, Mr. Farage apologizes to bank clerks around the world, but <em>not</em> to Belgians. Nor to the Belgian twit in question. :)<br />
<br />
Mr. Farage was fined 9,000 euros for his 'insult,&quot; whilst he &quot;undermined the dignity of the EU Parliament.&quot; Don't know how his comments could beat their general behavior, but there you go... Heh.<br />

                <![CDATA[waaaa, the brits wanted their tony, but got defeated by this thing. reason? rompuy is a damp rag! no charisma, no power and no danger to anyone. an ideal president. heaven forbid that the big countries would get real competition. who is this ass shouting at rompuy by the way. real politicians don't have time for this nonsense. rompuy called it &quot;pathetic&quot; and for the first time ever i would say: well spoken sir!&nbsp;<br />

                I have heard that when Belgium left the Congo they even took the telephone poles with them, never understood why people think they are a nice little country.

The Walloons have always been a rotting stinking albatross about their necks, sucking up social services, getting government jobs, etc.<br />]]>
