Ireland reaches for the KY again

By scrubber | Published: March 17, 2011

Y’know, this man is amazing. Just watch the Belgian squirm, and at the end, the side shot of Barroso laughing. Shameful: Wikio Wikio

Hannan vs Farage in the European Parliament

By scrubber | Published: December 15, 2010
There are many out there who criticise Nigel Farage for his speeches in the European Parliament just as there are many out there who, like me, admire him for them. As we all know, he’s been hauled over the coals in the past by the Powers-That-Be, and taken a great deal of stick in the [...]

UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom escorted form the European Parliament Chamber

By scrubber | Published: November 25, 2010

The BBC interviews David Campbell-Bannerman, Winston McKenzie, Tim Congdon and Nigel Farage here. It’s a real shame the presenter had to be so sneeringly patronising about it all… Wikio Wikio
