[...] Van Rompuy is the perfect consensus politician, but perhaps the EU really does need strong, united leadership at the moment. Would a Blair have been able to get Spain’s President Zapatero to shut up and stop drawing attention away from the Council Presidency? Julien Frisch was right to criticise the foul comments made by the UK Independence Party MEP Nigel Farage – but when Farage asked Van Rompuy – “Who are you?” I wondered if he maybe had a point. If Farage hadn’t so idiotically called Belgium a “non-country” and insulted Van Rompuy’s appearance, he might have been taken more seriously (but probably wouldn’t have made it to YouTube). BTW, see Belgium’s excellent response to Farage on Kosmipolito’s blog. [...]
Nigel Farage is your typical opportunist right-winger, a tirade of personal insults and no real substance about the the guys ability to do the job.
It’s early days yet and although Herman does fall short on charisma it’s hard to tell if he is up to the job.

Nigel is a hero – Farage for Westminster!
Idiot lefties. You’re the reason this country’s in the state it’s in. You’re all impotent, politically, mentally and most likely physically too. Nigel is a thousand times the man any of you will ever be. Lamebrain fuckwits.
Our day is coming and people like you will be shut up permanently. Mealy mouthed yoghurt knitting soap dodging morons.
