Ann Widdecombe explodes at MEP Sophia in 't Veld, who said majority of Brits don't support

Watch here the FULL video EU debate from the European Parliament.
Dutch MEP Sophia in 't Veld reminded Ms Widdecombe that only 43% of UK voters chose the Brexit-supporting Tories in last month’s general election and that a “majority of the British people did not vote for a Brexit party”.
It triggered a seething response from Ms Widdecombe, who defected to the Brexit Party from the Tories last year before she was subsequently elected as an MEP.
She screamed: “17.4 million people, in the biggest democratic turnout in British history [in 2016], voted to Leave!”
#eudebates
“Why did Boris Johnson get such a massive majority in the last election? Because his basic promise was get Brexit done!”
Ms in 't Veld had been responding to an earlier speech by Ms Widdecombe during a debate about EU citizens’ rights in the UK after the 31 January departure date.
On free movement, she had said: “The ending of free movement was a massive factor in the British public’s decision to leave the EU.”
She went on: “The British people expect the British government to end free movement and do it in a way which is effective and not merely nominal.”
During the last session that British MEPs will partipate in, Dutch MEP Sophia In 't Veld stepped in to correct the Brexit Party stalwart on her claims that all of the British people wanted to leave the EU.
She raised the point of order after a ranting speech from Widdecombe during a debate about the rights of EU citizens as enshrined in the Withdrawal Agreement.
Widdecombe took issue with a clause in the EU's motion that stated the bloc "regrets" that the principle of free movement between the UK and the bloc will end.
She pointed out that freedom of movement was a "massive factor" in what she phrased as "the British public's decision" to leave the EU.
She accused the EU of "political myopia" around this and said: "The sooner this parliament wakes up to that, the sooner we will have the right sort of dialogue."
But In 'T Veld, who is a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group, raised a key point of order against Widdecombe's claims about the British public.
She said: "Mrs Widdecombe, I hear you say 'the British people' want this or that.
"But isn't it true that only 43% of the people voted for your political agenda and it's only because of your electoral system that Mr Johnson has a majority of seats in parliament.
"The majority of people did not vote for a Brexit party. Isn't that true, Mrs Widdecombe?" she said, to applause.
Widdecombe shot back in characteristic bombastic style, saying: "17.4 million people in the biggest democratic turnout in British history voted to leave. We ended up in the European elections as the single biggest party in this parliament. Why? Why did Boris Johnson get such a massive majority in the last election? Because his basic promise was 'get Brexit done'."
In 't Veld could be seen making 'talk to the hand' gestures as Widdecombe responded.

YOU ARE HERE:BREXIT Building supplies hit by container-port congestion 07 JAN 2021 BY LEM BINGLEY The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) has warned the government that congestion at UK ports is affecting the availability of construction materials. BMF chief executive John Newcomb said: “There is a concern over the availability of products imported in containers, mainly from the Rotterdam, such as ironmongery, plumbing items, tools and natural stone.” Congestion at UK container ports became apparent last month, with coronavirus-related imports combined with COVID-secure measures leading to throughput difficulties at the terminals. Newcomb, who serves as co-chair of a Construction Leadership Council group examining the impact of Brexit on the supply of building materials and products, said: “There appears to be an increasing issue getting [containers of] products through ports, with some ships being stopped from landing and sent back to Rotterdam.” He added that, in some cases, unloading times have quadrupled from one week to four. “We’ve raised this matter with government and asked about the readiness of ports and customs, as we head into Brexit.” On 29 November, the Port of Felixstowe - the UK’s busiest container port handling almost half of UK shipments - said that, like other major container ports worldwide, it was “experiencing a spike in container volumes and dealing with the consequences of the ongoing COVID pandemic”. It added: “The current high volumes will last well into the new year, but we are working hard to minimise the impact on daily operations and to maintain vital supply chains.” Among other challenges, the port said “slow-moving” shipments of personal protective equipment (PPE) were clogging up its yards. Various media reports in mid-November said as many as 11,000 containers of defective PPE were waiting to be scrapped at the cost of millions to the tax payer. The port said it aimed to recruit and train 104 extra drivers and additional engineers to increase throughput, and that it was working with the government’s supply chain to clear the PPE backlog. “Volumes have reduced significantly since the peak and should all be cleared within six to twelve months,” it said. Difficulties with imported goods follow on the heels of supply problems affecting materials such as plaster, timber and landscaping products, caused by factory shutdowns, unusual demand and panic buying related to Brexit shortages. Last week’s Purchasing Managers’ Index survey found contractors complaining about transport delays and stock shortages. The price of timber had risen sharply and helped put up input costs. Mark Robinson, group chief executive at public sector procurement organisation Scape, warned that the industry is “already beginning to see the impact of Brexit on the availability of materials”. Beard Construction finance director Fraser Johns noted that pressure on supply chains would increase dramatically in the spring as Brexit fails to deliver under the agreement signed by "Johnson, the fucking idiot boy. It has completely screwed our industry sector and however important to the economy construction is, it cannot afford to suffer due to delays at the border while we wait for materials to reach our sites,” he said. If I get my hands on anyone who says he voted for Brexit, I swear I'll hang for what I'll do to him.

Nobody thinks Brexiteers are as thick as mince. Just like nobody thinks Brexit was a bad idea. Brexit was a good idea, I can prove it look at all the benefits, first, sovereignty - we make all the decisions except the ones made by the EU, then there's freedom - we are free to do anything we please except the things that the EU don't want us to do. We can decide how little to pay a factory workers, except that all the factories have gone to mainland Europe where they have to pay the minimum wage at least, and have twenty seven local countries to sell the widgets they make to. We can do trade deals all around the world, except with the countries that are worth doing a deal with, they don't need our deal, they need the EU's deal instead. We can fish to our hearts content, and we don't need any customers for the fish because we believe in Britain. We can have a prime minister of our own, that looks like he slept in a skip and can say three phrases in primary school Latin, the Europeans have to have a smart leader with shiny shoes who can speak 4 languages fluently, drinks white wine from the correct glass and knows which year Beethoven won the Grand National and on top of all that also understands the workings of Far Eastern politics, religion and Dakar Monopoly board game rules. Brexit really means 'Britain's Exit' from the European Union . There's a small mistake, The United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland, which as every Brexiteer knows is across the sea, on another island, that's why the Brexiteers called it Brexit. But they forgot the Scotland thingy. Scotland is on the island of Britain, and they voted in their previous referendum to remain in the UK because that way they could remain in the European Union. Well fuck me sideways!, they were tricked, I'm not surprised. Farage, Johnson, Hannan and the others are absolutely fantastic 'snake oil salesmen'. Just look back at the bullshit they told the clever Brexiteers, less foreigners on the busses speaking Polish, no hoards of Turks arriving on foot from Constantinople, levelling up in Newcastle so the Geordies will be living like lords on Brexit day, and on and on. None of which has come true or can it ever. So no wonder the Scott's were duped, if they knew that Johnson and Farage were going to pull the flanker with all that Russian money, they would have voted for independence by a ninety nine percent margin. Anyway, I digress. It should have been called LingWaxit, not Brexit. for Little England and Wales Exit. A bit of a tong twister I know, and quite complicated for the average Brexiteer, so Brexit it was. Now that Scotland's demographics have moved closer to independence and Northern Ireland have been screwed over so dreadfully badly by Johnson's ready made microwave concoction, Brexiteers have won, all on their own. Lets hope they can get over it.

If so say so but it seems such a shame.

James bovington its call a work Visa you can get one and go work in France the same as if you wanted to go work in America or anywhere else in the world. We were roaming the world well before the EU and will be doing so well after its collapse

[@markpower9081]

This is not true. Free movement wasn't an issue in the 90s. It became an issue when it was expanded to the people of Easter Europe. The rest of us in Europe saw that extending free movement to Poles, Czechs, Romanians etc. was only fair. Britain, uniquely, couldn't extend that solidarity. Anyway, Bye!!!!

[@Notorious_C.J.P]

@@markpower9081 it wasn't a problem because all the countries were on similar economic and cultural value level so there was back and forth and only a somewhat small amount in BOTH directions. And we all accepted if we were to move to their country we would assimilate to there language and way of life. When they opened us up to eastern Europe those same thing did not apply. That's what was wrong and why there is a problem

[@markpower9081]

Well, if allowing the Poles and Romanians (because they were the ones vilified) the same privileges as the rest of us in the EU was too much for Britain, then I guess you made the right decision.

YOU ARE HERE:BREXIT Building supplies hit by container-port congestion 07 JAN 2021 BY LEM BINGLEY The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) has warned the government that congestion at UK ports is affecting the availability of construction materials. BMF chief executive John Newcomb said: “There is a concern over the availability of products imported in containers, mainly from the Rotterdam, such as ironmongery, plumbing items, tools and natural stone.” Congestion at UK container ports became apparent last month, with coronavirus-related imports combined with COVID-secure measures leading to throughput difficulties at the terminals. Newcomb, who serves as co-chair of a Construction Leadership Council group examining the impact of Brexit on the supply of building materials and products, said: “There appears to be an increasing issue getting [containers of] products through ports, with some ships being stopped from landing and sent back to Rotterdam.” He added that, in some cases, unloading times have quadrupled from one week to four. “We’ve raised this matter with government and asked about the readiness of ports and customs, as we head into Brexit.” On 29 November, the Port of Felixstowe - the UK’s busiest container port handling almost half of UK shipments - said that, like other major container ports worldwide, it was “experiencing a spike in container volumes and dealing with the consequences of the ongoing COVID pandemic”. It added: “The current high volumes will last well into the new year, but we are working hard to minimise the impact on daily operations and to maintain vital supply chains.” Among other challenges, the port said “slow-moving” shipments of personal protective equipment (PPE) were clogging up its yards. Various media reports in mid-November said as many as 11,000 containers of defective PPE were waiting to be scrapped at the cost of millions to the tax payer. The port said it aimed to recruit and train 104 extra drivers and additional engineers to increase throughput, and that it was working with the government’s supply chain to clear the PPE backlog. “Volumes have reduced significantly since the peak and should all be cleared within six to twelve months,” it said. Difficulties with imported goods follow on the heels of supply problems affecting materials such as plaster, timber and landscaping products, caused by factory shutdowns, unusual demand and panic buying related to Brexit shortages. Last week’s Purchasing Managers’ Index survey found contractors complaining about transport delays and stock shortages. The price of timber had risen sharply and helped put up input costs. Mark Robinson, group chief executive at public sector procurement organisation Scape, warned that the industry is “already beginning to see the impact of Brexit on the availability of materials”. Beard Construction finance director Fraser Johns noted that pressure on supply chains would increase dramatically in the spring as Brexit fails to deliver under the agreement signed by "Johnson, the fucking idiot boy. It has completely screwed our industry sector and however important to the economy construction is, it cannot afford to suffer due to delays at the border while we wait for materials to reach our sites,” he said. If I get my hands on anyone who says he voted for Brexit, I swear I'll hang for what I'll do to him.
