Why did the brexit turn thier backs on the EU anthem?

Party

Probably to register their hostility / indifference to the EU (and its claim to not be a country when it is)

Childish posturing.

Lol whats the country name EUSSIA?

German composer . Doesn't sit too well with 'em , added to the German lyrics it's built around .
Lib Dems just as bad . Originally their favoured slogan was B0llocks to Ludwig van Beethoven but the printer was gonna charge 'em by the letter

Why did the Liberals wear 'I don't believe in democracy' T ****?

see above ........ almost as many letters and they ain't made of money

*s h i r t*
Think after the other day they're stopping me writing anything remotely homophobic,crikey.

Think you missed the r denzil

Aye dear me

They were doing the Poznan.

Nothing that a good milkshaking won't sort out, eh Remainers?

a libtard dem on Newsnight just then bemoaning the back turning as "A slight on democracy" says a t-shirt wearing "stop brexit" nutjob

Stop Brexit on the front and Bollox to Brexit on the back.
Agreed, got a cheek to complain about anyone else.

You Brits are such petulant children sometimes.

These are troubled times, rarely a breeding ground for rational behaviour

Troubled times are where politicians first and foremost should be shining beacons of rationality.

mep,s elected as individuals yet like naughty children do as their master bids, a master rejected 7 times by the uk electorate, would have been nice to see one of the 29 ignore farage instead of making  idiot,s of themselves, that martin dobney fella used to be on sky paper review all the time would have ridiculed this behaviour a year ago

Here we are, in the early stages of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Building machines that demonstrate increasingly intelligent behaviours, whilst simultaneously offsetting this with increasingly unintelligent human behaviours.

It's taking the carbon offset principles in to an area where they have no place

We have never had a choice about a European fedral state,an claim that has often been dismissed by our politicians yet gets more ingrained with each treaty that has been signed. Maastricht raised concerns about this but Major denied us a say on the issue, Blair campaigned in 1997 promising a referendum on the issue but reneged on that when in power to push the Lisbon treaty,hoping to become EU. Cameron only yielded a referendum after the 2014 EU elections,hoping to lance a boil that wouldn't go away. No wonder TBP refuses to acknowledge an anthem that seeks to promote more deceit.

it was "ode to joy" and they have no joy in their lives

Do these jokers in the Brexit Party think sane sensible people will vote for them in a General Election after that pathetic stunt?

Only Tory voters I think! They will cook their own goose and the Tory Party in one go!...good!

well it's not going to lose them any votes is it

you don't think so?

They are clowns!

Only an idiot Tory would vote for them!

no i don't.  Their voters will totally agree with what they did. Can't say the same for the lib demtards though

Their voters will totally agree with what they did

Tru dat!

Basket of deplorables!

I support Brexit and find this sort of rubbish childish and petty, it's the sort of sad risible thing the children in the SNP always do and the Brexit party should be above it if they are trying to act as serious politicians. If you find yourself acting like the SNP you should know you are doing something wrong.

Just saying sitting would be imho reasonable but going to the length of standing and turning their back .. nah. And the libs of course try to compete with them in the student protest stakes with their T-shirts.

What a sad state of affairs.

Also they should know by now, never turn your back on the EU as you'll end up with a knife in your back .

I would agree that sitting through it would be a fair enough response.

Fair comment JC ,what would your stance be on a bubble that thinks it won’t be burst?

Bubbles don't think, so it's hard to have a strong opinion on their belief system.

As I said ,I agree with your comment,childish,but sometimes you have to turn to dramatics ,because your point won’t be listened to during the normal democratic proceedings

Once the erstwhile German defence secretary has implemented Der EU-Reichsschutzwehrmachtpolizei, such impertinence will not be allowed, unless they want to visit a re-education camp! (and I don't mean music lessons at butlins)

I don’t spell to well lol, heard ,heared,but you don’t answer the question?

as a former train driver you don't have to spell well

Are you currently in your holiday home in Spain or Portugal?

What are you talking about? My father was a driver at frodingham (Scunthorpe),I joined via nepotism ,spent 18 months as a second man ,got made redundant,(so BR paid me £1500 to move to Derby and pay my mortgage for ten years,so I went, I became a driver at 21 driving 47s,31s hsts ect .i got sacked at the age of 30 for fighting at Doncaster races on my day off (but I used a free pass so classed as working ) check it out bud

just saying train drivers have done very well for themselves. Some have homes in Portugal and Spain!

Good luck to them!

Did you win the fight?

No ,Newcastle fans kicked the **** out of me,because my brother played for Middlesbrough,,and I got sacked for gross miss conduct

a travesty!

Newcastle fans are the worst.

Green Party MEP complained when he was asked to leave the Parliament.
Was wearing a T shirt sporting a pro migrants message and a football cap back to front.
Don't think many British MEPs have much respect for the EU.
BTW why do they have an anthem? They aint a country yet.

You are kidding yourself if you think supporters of TBP are all conservatives WD, plenty of Labour constituencies vote for Brexit lad. Our 3 MP's all represent Labour seats but wouldn't dream of seeing a tory get elected.

According to the Express (Britains foremost user of CAPS in newspaper HEADLINES and princess Diana DEATH stories!!), the "hopelessly devoted to EU" SNP didn't respect the anthem either as they are p1ssed off their Catalan separatist buddy MEPs weren't sitting as there is some hassle with Spain allowing them to do so . I wasn't far off above was I :)

(Re the SNP protesting, what is strange is I can't remember the BBC covering this but the SNP are pro EU so are immune to BBC criticism)

This is my point Jc you quote propaganda,where’s your mind?

Never knew that JC.
Watch Jo Coburn on Politics Live today.
Having a go at Annunziata Rees-Mogg.
Asked her why she is taking a salary from an institution she dislikes so much.
Can someone supply a link to the time she asked the SNP MPs the same question about Westminster.
She's not biased according to her supporters so I'm assuming she did.

Only reason they were able to turn their backs was Theresa May lying over a hundred times.

If they lived in a democratic country, they wouldn't be there.

One event defines the entire democratic process of an entire nation state, really ?
That is precisely the kind of intransigent thinking that prevents solutions being delivered.
