Farage 'THRILLED' as EU bullies are now even making Remainers BASH Brussels bureaucrats
NIGEL Farage said Jean-Claude Juncker and his crew's bullying tactics were uniting the country in favour of Brexit.
Nigel Farage: I support bashing Brussels bureaucrats
Nigel Farage said he now has competition from Remain campaigners like Theresa May in "bashing Brussels bureaucrats".
PM Mrs May launched a withering attack on EU figures earlier this week and accused them of meddling in British affairs.
The former Ukip leader said Britain was being united over Brexit following last year's divisive referendum.

Nigel Farage BOOED for supporting a Le Pen victory
He told ITV's Peston on Sunday: "I thought bashing Brussels bureaucrats was my domain!
"It's fantastic, I was thrilled. I don’t tend to support Remainers, but she is using the same phrases I've used for the past 20 years."
The former Ukip leader noted that in 2013 he won the local elections “on a manifesto of grammar schools, getting Britain outside the European Union, controlling immigration”.
He said: "Four years on, the British Prime Minister was running on exactly the same ticket and swept the board."
But, the MEP warned: "She is a career politician with a poor track record so let’s see. We have to keep an eye on her."
Mr Farage added: "I shall continue bashing Brussels bureaucrats, but obviously now - with Mrs May - I have got some real competition."
Mr Farage also suggested that Ukip could disband if Theresa May delivers a proper Brexit

Mr Farage also suggested that Ukip could disband if Theresa May delivers a proper Brexit.
He described the party he helped lead for years as "insurance" until Britain leaves the EU.
The party faced near total electoral wipeout in the local elections, retaining just one of its 147 councillors.
He said: "I think if in two and a half years' time Mrs May has delivered the progress that the voters wanted, then I think you can ask the question – what is Ukip's future? Where does it go from here?'
"It is rather like paying the house insurance every year, not because we want there to be a fire but in case there is one. Ukip needs to be there."
Farage also reiterated his support for Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election
Mr Farage also reiterated his support for Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election taking place today.
He said: "She is the real deal. She is a proper, genuine Eurosceptic. It is not about race, but it is about sovereignty.
"She is not an extremist. I do believe she will become the French president, but I suspect it is more likely to be in 2022 than today."
