Watching PMQs I do occasionally get fed up with the barracking that goes on. However I am not ashamed of it.
What I am ashamed of is Farage's behaviour when in the EU parliament which I think is outrageous, as do my French friends and acquaintances. Those people are genuinely sad that Britain is likely to leave the EU and don't understand it. For them the EU is more than an economic grouping and will talk about the long period of peace in western Europe since WW2. they follow events in the UK with interest and particularly admire John Burcow whom I understand is also very popular in Germany.
The only way to eliminate the disruptive behaviour in parliament, IMO, is to change our electoral system from first past the post to a PR system.
