'That's DISGRACEFUL' Brexiteer SHUTS DOWN MEP who called Brexit an 'extremist ideology'
BREXITEER campaigner Amandeep Singh Bhogal exploded at Labour MEP Neena Gill after the politician branded Brexit an "extremist ideology" during a fiery radio exchange.
The Conservative activist blasted the West Midlands MEP, saying it was a "disgrace" to brand Brexit an "extremist ideology."
The pair erupted in a fiery exchange, talking over each other to make their point across.
But Mr Singh Bhogal hit back at the Labour MEP, saying: "I think that’s disgraceful.
"I think it’s disrespectful calling it that when the recent polling shows 60 percent, 70 percent of people are calling on the Government to get on with Brexit.

"I think both sides made it very clear during the campaign that leaving meant leaving the European Union, including leaving the single market."
Mr Singh Bhogal added that the 2017 General Election had shown the British public had once again come out in full support of Brexit.
He continued: "We had a vote last year during the general election, more than 85 percent of people voted for parties committed to Brexit."
Ms Gill told the BBC Asian Network: "We want to have a managed process for Brexit and not one that is run by an extremist ideology which is closer to Ukip.

"It is an extremist ideology and I believe the United Kingdom is much more divided now than it ever was."
The Labour MEP's scathing remarks come after a new poll showed the British public continues to support Brexit, with 65 percent of those polled saying they would not back calls for a second Brexit referendum.
People in Britain are most optimistic that, Britain will be able to make more of its own laws (75 percent), that UK defences will remain as strong as they are today (52 percent) and the UK will have more control over its borders (50 percent).
While only 7 percent of Leave voters think Remainers who want Brexit halted should be given a prominent platform, almost four in 10 Remainers (38 percent) believe the will of the majority should be respected.
