Europees Parlementslid Nigel Farage, in een reactie op de toespraak van Guy Verhofstadt in het Europees Parlement:

I find it a bit rich for the prime minister of Belgium to come along here and tell 24 other nation states what they should do. I say that, because perhaps he ought to look a little bit more in his own backyard. The most recent opinion poll in Belgium, or should I say in Flanders, shows that 51% of people there favour independence from the Belgian state. The Vlaams Belang is now the biggest political party in Flanders. Is it, Mister Verhofstadt, that you're so embarrassed and ashamed that your own country is falling to pieces, that you've come along here to encourage the rest of us to self-destruct as well? I'm not sure. Although I suppose there was at least a certain honesty about your speech, because you are an unashamed Euro-nationalist. You couldn't give a damn what ordinary people think, you couldn't give a damn about the referendum results in France and in the Netherlands last year. [...] What part of the word "NO" don't you understand?

mag ik de datum weten van deze...toespraak van deze...zeer intelligente persoonlijkheid?
