Farage's Brexit flotilla attacked on the Thames by Bob Geldof

A fleet of boats sailing up the Thames into central London to campaign for the Leave campaign has been "attacked" by another fleet campaigning for Remain, apparently commanded by Bob Geldof. The Remain fleet is now firing hoses at the Brexit boats and playing loud music.

So I’m on a Remain boat with Bob Geldof and Rachel Johnson. They’re heading off Nigel Farage’s Thames flotilla.

General consensus is Farage has more boats, but Sir Bob has a better sound system.

To be fair I’d accept the result of a naval battle to decide the EU ref if it meant we didn’t go through another eight days of this shit.

Nigel Farage has turned up to take control of the flotilla, arriving on an open top bus playing The Great Escape theme.

Asked about Geldof's boat trying to disrupt the flotilla, Farage doesn't find it funny: "he's come to laugh the poor people".

Whatever else happens in my life, I'll never forget the day Ukip shouted "Get a job!" at Bob Geldof on a boat while he made the wanker sign

His music was shit too.

WOWSERS ...how all of this will be recorded for historical {hysterical} records ...the battle on the River Thames   - IN vs OUT  with loud music and water cannons blasting
 

I do hope they televise it, it will be hilarious!

I'd love to see that!

Oooh, I loved the bit where Mr Farage pointed out that Mr Geldof is a multimillionaire.

Geldolf another foul mouthed yob who owes his success to one!!! crap record,

I don't like Mondays either!!

A lot of the live aid money is unaccounted for allegedly...

Rat trap and I don't like Mondays were two great tunes.
That's it.

Bob Geldof has a good heart but like all vain people, he has to go on about the fact he has a good heart.

I also heard a big chuck of the Live Aid money was unaccounted for, but I don't see that as being something Geldof was guilty of.

Well, Geldof clearly didn't spend any of it on soap and razors. He needs a good boil wash.

Thats him in the white trousers and hat, looks ok to me.

Has Mr Geldof gone quiet?

Nobody cares what snob smelldof has to say either!!!

Geldof says he's sending his medal back, oh dear.
