UKIP MEP Nigel Farage thought he needed to drum up some publicity to win John Bercow’s seat and prop up his sagging campaign. So he made a speech.
In response the Belgians offered a stern response:
His comments provoked a letter of complaint from Belgium’s Prime Minister, Yves Leterme, to the president of the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek.
“As a Belgian politician, I must react against this damaging intervention… and the impolite comments about Belgium,” Mr Leterme protested. He called on Mr Buzek to end “these kinds of incidents” in a bid to protect “the interests of my citizens, which cannot be underestimated”.
Belgian citizens on the other thought a more direct and fitting response was needed:
Who would have thought the Belgians could be so rude?
But then, who are we to complain?
