Euro-Skepticism: You're Doing It Wrong, Nigel Farage!

It's some kind of breathtaking verbal venom, though even I'm thinking, this doesn't do anything really positive. It's not that I don't think some of his points are valid (the EU superstructure is undemocratic and populated with bureaucratic mandarins), but there's no reason to be offensively nasty about expressing yourself. There's no need to gratuitously insult the other guy's country either if you're arguing that the EU is bad because it steamrollers over the idea of individual nation-state sovereignty. Anyhoo, take a look and listen as UK MEP Nigel Faragely rips EU President Herman van Rompuy to the guy's face. I half expected Faragely to make a Yo Mama joke while he was at it!
