Farage: from stamping his feet to thumbing his nose - Watson

12.00.00am GMT Tue 2nd Mar 2010

Graham Watson MEP has slammed anti-European MEP Nigel Farage for his refusal to apologise for insulting Herman Van Rompuy and the Belgian people.

Watson said:

"Farage has gone from stamping his feet to thumbing his nose.

"The Parliament's President asked only for a simple apology. By refusing, Farage has added insult to injury.

"His actions bring shame on himself and embarrassment to Britain".

Today, Jerzy Buzek - the European Parliament President - formally asked Farage for an apology for comments made in the European Parliament chamber last week. Farage has refused. Mr Buzek is now reportedly considering which alternative sanction to impose.
