<p>Ben Buckland headed the procession around the Place du Luxembourg, followed by Ann Widdecombe in a taxi decorated with a Union flag.</p>

<p>A number of others, including June Mummery and Belinda De Lucy, followed on foot.</p>

<p>It marked one last stunt in a raucous final week for the party – which saw Nigel Farage get a telling-off in his last speech to the chamber for decorating his desk with miniature British flags.</p>
<p>The Brexit Party leader left the European Parliament on Wednesday evening with We Gotta Get Outta This Place by the Animals blasting out on loudspeakers.</p>
<p>Ms Widdecombe, a former shadow home secretary during her 23 years as a Conservative MP, had little sympathy for those grieving the loss of their status as an EU citizen.</p>
<p>She told the PA Media news agency ahead of her exit: “One side had to lose in that referendum; would they have cared if we were sad? Would they have cared if we had lost? The answer is no.”</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>She added: “I would have been very sad if we had lost. But that is democracy, that is what it means. Somebody wins, somebody loses.”</p>

<p>She went on: “I am tired of hearing this nonsense being talked that young people are going to be deprived of their rights to travel and to study in other countries.</p>
<p>“I’m old enough to remember the days before we joined – we travelled, we studied, we lived, we worked in each other’s countries all the time, and that’s how it will be again.”</p>
<p>A member of the French press provoked an argument by pointing out to Mr Buckland – who was dressed in a kilt, sporran and beret – that he was English, not Scottish, and that Scotland voted to remain.</p>
<figure id="attachment_148756" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-148756" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-148756" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/B6B3532E-779A-4ACB-917A-BECE6A0859B0.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-148756" class="wp-caption-text">British MEPs carry a Union flag as they march out of the European Parliament</figcaption></figure>
<p>Mr Buckland replied: “Obviously, you don’t know the story about the ballot boxes.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>“There was a referendum to see whether Scotland wanted to remain part of the UK and the vast majority voted to remain. Fact.</p>
<p>“When it came to the EU referendum there were ballot boxes that went missing and that’s under investigation, also ballot boxes went missing in Northern Ireland as well.”</p>
<p>Mr Buckland declined to say whether or not he was Scottish.</p>
<p>Ms Widdecombe said the majority of the Brexit Party’s MEPs would be spending Friday night in Parliament Square where a recording of Big Ben’s bongs will be played at the stroke of 11pm.</p>
