YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"This man wouldn't know democracy if it came up and bit him," said the UKIP founder in an explosive row with Lib Dem peer over the divisiveness of a Brexit celebration.
UKIP's founder Professor Alan Sked said he will be celebrating in Parliament Square and hopes bells will be pealing all over the country to celebrate the UK leaving the "failed and dilapidated EU."
Lib Dem peer Lord Newby said he does not object to anyone celebrating independence from the European Union however we should not exacerbate divisions by hosting a huge Brexit party and "rubbing [Remainers'] noses in it."
"By all means celebrate but don't do it in a way that makes people on the other side of the argument frustrated and angry," said Lord Newby.
