You might recall that Nigel Farage, leader of something called UKIP, recently shot off his mouth in the EU Parliament to the effect that Belgium was “a non-country”. And that’s a lot of mouth to shoot off, though it does work on automatic.
Now — courtesy of the Daily Moaner’s Spanish correspondent (a slightly unhinged lady called Janet something) — comes a refutation of that slander. This was shot in Antwerp railway station, which has changed just a bit since your editor was last there, and those people are real live Belgians. Non-country? We don’t think so. See this finger we’re holding up, Farage? Sit on it and swivel .
You will either love this and laugh (and maybe cry too), or you will sniff disdainfully, in which case you are probably a member of UKIP.
