Going native. British MEPs vote against own country
This short video may be of interest to our readers. The speaker is none too impressed with the 26 UK MEPs who voted in the Eurpean Parliament support of a proposal by the EP’s Brexit spokesman Guy Verhofstadt urging the EU not to start trade talks with the UK. The argument by Mary Honeyball, a Labour MEP who supported Mr Verhofstadt, that the UK had agreed to resolving the issues of the Irish border, the Divorce bill and the rights of EU nations living in the UK before starting trade talks cut little ice with many commentators, who accused her and her colleagues of betraying their country. Two Tory MEPs, Richard Ashworth and Julie Girling, were among the 26. The pair propmtly recevied a rap on the knuckles by senior party officials, who were apparently “livid” at their behaviour, especially given the vote took place the day before Mrs May’s conference speech. The Conservative whip was withdrawn from them as a result of their actions.
The list of the full 26 is as follows:-
On the subject of Mrs May’s speech, if the idiotic prankster who interrupted her speech to deliever her a P45 had any sense, rather than waste his time in Manchester, he should have gone to Strasbourg and handed P45s to all these 26. This vote is the ultimate proof that many MEPs have gone native. The sooner these 26 are put out to grass the better.
