Typically heard from dutch people pulling up to a bad driver.
"Yeah i thought so, a towel head"
Even my GF says this, its not a one off and i have never heard this in the UK
We're proper fecked, I can 100% guarantee you those two clowns are actually worse than Rutte, and not just a little bit. Pechtold is a sociopath (I once fell into that trap, so I can see where you're coming from) and Roemer is a parody on a politician, should've remained a primary school teacher. He's a nice guy, but what he wants is impossible, and the world seriously needs a properly skilled politician - can you imagine him stepping up to Trump?
The only half decent politician and human being at the moment is Ahmed Aboutaleb, but I'd rather move to Sudan than vote for his party, and it's still unclear whether he remains mayor of Rotterdam, since he just started his second term and some other wankers are fighing for the top spot at PvdA. If they made Aboutaleb their #1, they would actually have a very serious chance of smashing Wilders, nearly all experts agree on this, but at PvdA they won't do this, basically because some other impopular but influential guys are too power hungry, which says everything about them.
So I figured I'd vote for the Pirates, just like last time, but their new #1 is now some blonde ex kink model, heard a interview on the radio with her that made me puke. So like I said, we're proper fecked, just like pretty much half of the world.

Seriously, if he'd become electable I might just do it regardless of my feelings towards his party.

Damn those deceitful Remain campaigners and their lies about the risk of economic hardship after Brexit...

Did the Italian economy minister really just say that he felt insulted by the low intellectual level of the talks with Boris Johnson? Oh my 
Seriously, he should just resign. Bad start, clearly out of his depth.

He's Trumpesque then? Or was Trump Borisesque? At any rate, it's worrying how so many politicians these days can get away with simply shouting and posturing about issues rather than actually trying to sensibly discuss or solve them.

I just read it and I don't like this type of comment to the press, lets stay classy.
Now, we need to put a myth down. The EC has been created/signed by the Maastricht treaty in 1993 and freedom of movement by the Schengen agreement in 1985(it started 1995), as a part of the EC the Schengen agreement is among the pillars of the EU.
If you are going to stand by such a ludicrous position, even with the benefit of time to think it over, i can but conclude that you hold more prejudice toward me, than i to any foreigner. Whilst the irony is of some wry amusement, i also feel sorry for you.

Here's an MP asking for an ELI5 version months after the vote:

Repeat: daily news flash - the UK is still in the EU
The economic downturn has not yet reached Stage 2 - the trigger
Also the number of immigrants has not reduced either.

Where is it Holiday season?
Is the UK still in the EU Paul? I need to know
DOn't y'all buy CHristmas presents?
Apparently, UKIP used £500,000 of EU money to campaign against the EU, and is now being asked to pay it back.
Every time there is a minor piece of good news regarding the UK economy, it's as if it's because of Brexit.
I have a feeling that this thread will still be going in four years time and I'll still be repeating the same thing
150k
God I hope not
According to shopping centres around this way its been Christmas for the past 3 weeks.
Farage should refund his MEP salary and expenses - he even got an increase in Sterling because of the exchange rate - no use to the Uk or the EU - conman and opportunist
Farage himself is one of the biggest skivers from parliamentary sessions. He is ranked 746th out of 751 MEPs when it comes to voting on things.

Stan's £150k figure was more accurate though:

You give the impression of not really liking anyone, so I'm not sure why you'd give foreigners a free pass.
not in november!!!
Statements by you on matters such as immigration and the EU have lead to my "prejudice" about you. And don't feel sorry for me, I certainly don't feel sorry for you.
Linked to the value of the pound having dropped like a rock? People will be wary of what little savings they have being worth less and rather spend then watch it lose value.
There's no point arguing. It seems that a large part of society only want to believe what they want to believe. Objective and rational reasoning counts for little nowadays it seems. Facts are twisted all the time. People will take any old tripe published on social media as a given as well.
Even United effected by Brexit

October is not the holiday season.
It is good news, Brexit or no. Even if some here would sooner dine from a menu of negativity.
The results, which are better then economists had predicted, have been attributed to Autumn being...well Autumnal. As well as Halloween sales towards the ends the month.
Where i call for reforms of the system with which non-EU applicants presently contend? Where i've said that we should have taken in more asylum seekers this year, and criticised the Home Office? The petitions i've posted for migrant causes? There is more to this debate than your little European corner, you know.
Perhaps you are following an alternative definition of xenophobe: one can longer be considered a tolerant and nice human being, unless they accept the EU's FoM principle.

I dislike many politicians, some foreign some not. And I can't figure out why some want them to make decisions on our behalf.
Maybe it's the things you said such as blaming the state of Britain's public services and infra structure on immigration? How you defended the leave campaign's promises such as on NHS spending? Or maybe on things such as how you've claimed that the EU is Germany's puppet and that Germany and France are conspiring to take over Europe by the back door? Or even your post Brexit blind optimism about the British economy and your denial of the long term damaging effects caused by the devaluation of Sterling?
And if we don't agree to pay......??
Politicians are always going to make decisions on your behalf. All Brexit means in the short/medium term is that the politicians making those decisions will be the kind loving Tory ones, not those nasty European ones that want to impose evil things like strong workers rights on us.
Just workers rights....is that all you think they want to impose?
Strong workers rights? Maybe if you are fortunate enough not to live in the southern eurozone and actually have a job. The EU is a big business project and has been since the off (Jean Monnet was a Wall Street banker). There's a reason the hard left like Corbyn (and Benn before him) are against it.
Personally I wanted to remain and I can't stand Corbyn but let's not build the EU into something it's not.
Just off the top of my head, working hour maximums (and minimum breaks) were improved because of the EU.
Aaaaah, there he is again, wolfgang schauble speaking on behalf of EUtopia.
No doubt they improve at the micro level but the overall picture is large unemployment in the South (due to the euro straight jacket) and depressed wages in the West (the effect of immigration from the East).
