Nigel Farage taunts EU Parliament: 'You're not laughing now'

Nigel Farage told fellow MEPs “you’re not laughing now”, as he was barracked and booed at an emergency meeting of the European Parliament to discuss Brexit.

The Ukip leader accused them of being “in denial” about the Euro crisis, immigration, and the imposition “by stealth, by deception, without ever telling the truth”, of a political union.

Offering a tongue-in-cheek “thank you for the warm welcome”, he told them: “When I came here, 17 years ago, and said I wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain to leave the European Union, you all laughed at me. Well, I have to say, you’re not laughing now, are you?”
