Nigel Farage asked people for questions for Michel Barnier and it was everything you’d hope for
Nigel Farage is off to meet the EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier on Monday and – possibly unable to think up any of his own – asked the ‘17.4 million’ for help.

We’re not sure the ‘17.4 million’ were much help but a large proportion of the 16.1 million appear to have got in touch.
The good news is Farage included Barnier in his tweet so the EU man got to read all the replies as well. Nice one, Nige!

Mr Barnier, Why would a group of rich tax dodgers, shady tech billionaires, nom dom press barons, intelligence chiefs in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, and Russian oligarchs want the UK to leave the EU, just as you close tax loop holes? I’m stumped. #AskBarnier

Does Mr. Barnier consider this poster to be fundamentally racist?
Is Mr. Barnier aware that UK has full control over it’s own asylum policies while a member of the EU?

#AskBarnier what it feels like to hold a great office of state as Foreign Minister of France
Is it better than being runner up in Thanet in a general election?

Why does Mr. Barnier continuously and successfully defend the interests of the EU27, rather than simply submitting to every whim, preference and self-imposed red line of UKGov? Has he even the faintest idea who we are?#AskBarnier #Eulalie

Hello again Michel. I’d like to know what you make of Nigel accepting an invitation to speak at a far-right AfD rally in Germany? #AskBarnier

#AskBarnier why someone who has failed 7 times to be elected to Parliament shouldn’t be laughed at when he claims to speak for anyone but himself?

Hi Michel. I’d like to know why you think it was that Nigel endorsed an alleged paedophile? #AskBarnier

#AskBarnier to patiently explain to you all the ways in which you’re a racist little bigot man who’ll die alone and unloved

What is £8.1bn / 52?

Michel, I’m sure you’re aware that Nigel is alleged to have sung Hitler Youth songs when he was at school. Did you ever get in trouble at school? #AskBarnier
