What a truly bizarre and shit advert.

On the face of it it's a bit risky the tories taking somebody who has just been reported to the police for financial irregularities. Same time dodgy expenses and financial irregularities are just about the default setting for elected ukip politicians.Defection to the tories.

Oh yeah, sure, I agree the tories wouldn't have any moral qualms, it just looked like something that could have theoretically embarrassed them later if there was anything to it. As you say though, damage limitation and the implication is the tories know that's all it is.Not really something that seems to bother tories, really. Sounds like a fairly inept attempt at damage limitation by the 'kippers anyhow.
Yes, because you can prove anything with facts. Anything at all. Facts, numbers, statistics. Any argument, no matter how stupid can be proven using facts. O'Brien knows this so he goes well off course to prove his frivolous nonsense. It's the mentality of loonies like that who have destroyed the country.
That's a lot of referendums. Unless you're directly effected no one is interested in knowing apart from the swivel eyed loons who don't know what they're talking about.If we had a referendum, it would be useful how much legislation is gatt/un/wto, how much EU and what national. None of the players seems interested in telling us
Sensible kind of bloke.he prefers to spend the money on beer

That's because it's complicated. I suspect most politicians don't know the answer. That's why they continue to employ diplomats.
(In my experience) the UK negotiates at UN bodies as part of an EU delegation. There are delegation meetings during negotiations to settle a common line - though the EU is not itself a member of the UN body (or of the WTO).
Then, usually, the results of the UN agreement are put out as an EU Directive, the precise form of which is negotiated between the governments of the member states in the Council of Europe (and debated in the EU Parliament).
The member states pass laws implementing the Directive. They can thus disclaim responsibility.
The short answer is that the anti-EU forces like what the WTO does. So they shut up about it.
Those few who think this far would like the UK to distance itself from the rather mild efforts of other EU states to moderate the fundamentalist-free-market proposals coming out of (largely) the US.
you'll have no takers at that price36k my arse.

Anyway, pretty good going, an MEP for 2 parties after being a council candidate for a 3rd, within 21 months. What a cunt.
Blimey, though in darts parlance that's good 'clustering', gets most of the right wing looncandle parties over his 'career'.

Oswald Mosely had something like 5 - tory, lab and, I think, independent labour (plus New Party and Brit Union of Fascists).i think there's one bloke who made it through 5 parties as an MP in the 1930s. I've got one from a bit earlier that i've looked at who did Liberal actvist, to lib unionist mp, to tory mp, to independent labour candidate, to labour activist. but i think a lot of that was about who wasn't fucking him off for being a foreign born jew (or a lying twat) at the time.
We heard from their glorious leader before Christmas of how immigrants cause congestion on the M4, but now Leicestershire councillor Lynton Yates has expanded on the party's transport policies.
Shadow health minister Jamie Reed, a Labour MP, said: "It's beyond a joke now. Not so much a political party but a stag night out of control."
Should have gone Game of Thrones style with Turncloaks. Much more convenient for the aspiring careerist traitor with dodgy expenses.had to stock up on extra coats to turn by the look of it
Even more - he used to be labour too.Galloway being a little coy there as to what the actual issue was.

Amjad Bashir denies that he has ever had anything to do with the Respect party but an application form he filled in and is still held by the party proves that isn’t the case. The new Conservative MEP gives his date of birth on the form as September 17, 1952. But he also claims on the form that in the 1970s and 1980s he was a Labour party member and helped the then Bradford West MP Marsha Singh (now deceased). He also claims to have been heavily involved, and led a membership drive in Bradford, for Imran Khan’s Pakistan party the PTI (Party of Justice).
