Tirade against 'damp rag' EU president shocks MEPs

Nigel Farage, UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader, said Mr Van Rompuy had "the charisma of a damp rag".

(...) "I don't want to be rude," Mr Farage began, before launching into a personal attack lasting several minutes.

"Who are you? I'd never heard of you, nobody in Europe had ever heard of you," Mr Farage thundered, as noisy disapproval at his intervention in the chamber rose.

(...) "You seem to have a loathing for the very concept of the existence of nation states," he continued, adding: "Perhaps that's because you come from Belgium, which is pretty much a non-country."
