Nigel Farage has spoken about the events in Brussels where police shut down a conference on the orders of local politicians, saying it was the “most extraordinary day.”
Farage revealed that a Tunisian businessman, his wife and suppliers to the event were threatened with being put out of business.
And he also condemned Labour MPs who supported the action, describing them as 'nerdy, puritanical types that Keir Starmer wants to make our future cabinet ministers'.
Speaking on GB News, Nigel Farage said: “48 hours ago, the venue that was holding this conference, and that included a lunch and a big dinner, were contacted by the mayor of the whole city of Brussels: A man who was very happy to have the mayor of Tehran here last year as a guest.
“They were contacted and it was suggested they shouldn't go ahead with the conference. They cancelled.
“We then moved on yesterday morning to the Sofitel in Place Jourdan and last night, at about half seven, the local mayor of that district of Brussels, a Belgium liberal, a friend of my friend, Guy Verhofstadt, said the conference can’t go ahead.
“At nine o'clock last night the NatCon organisers found a venue in the Saint Josse district of Brussels, run by a Tunisian businessman: It's effectively a nightclub.
“He said 'look, I don't care what your opinions are, provided you stick with the law and don’t smash the place up, I'm very happy to have your business'. And yesterday the local mayor of Saint Josse, a man who has been kicked out of the Belgian Socialist Party because of his links with extremist Islamist groups in Turkey, applied pressure on a level you can't believe.
“(He was) Directly telephoning the owner of the club; the owner's wife was threatened online. Suppliers who were due to bring in cutlery, crockery, food, drinks for lunch were being told, you deliver to this venue, to this event and you will go out of business.
“And I turned up in the middle of all of this and whilst I was on stage the Belgian police came into the venue with an instruction from the local mayor to close down the meeting.
"Now, there were only three police officers. There were many, many high hundreds inside the room. There were also TV cameras there from all over the world and the police kind of bottled out of doing it but closed the venue, they didn't allow anyone else in including former French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour, who was denied entry to the building.
“Later on, the police were there in riot gear, fearing public order. Now there was no danger of public order from within the room, but a counter demonstration was planned, in which about five or six saddos turned up to say we shouldn't be there; and that we are not entitled to our views.
“It has been truly the most extraordinary day in Brussels. Now for me, this is nothing. In my last years here, I was barred from coffee bars, barred from restaurants, even barred from a pub I'd been using for 20 years.
“But today, they brought that cancel culture, they brought that intolerance onto the world stage. And now from British TV stations across America and the whole of Europe, everyone can see the true face of this European Union.
