But this begs the question; was this a genuine mistake, albeit a major one, or was it a deliberate attempt to influence the outcome?
It might have worked on the young but not those of us with long memories who feel we were part of a big pretence
after we joined a trading group which turned out to be an exercise in power and creating a federal Europe.

You don't really read the Express and take notice of it do you?A good exercise in spin...this is the way it is reported elsewhere.

I see nothing wrong in remarking as outgoing Parliamentary head about what can be improved. That certainly does not mean the speech was an obituary.

Considering Malta is part of the British Brexit decision, has this been manipulated for maximum effect against an easy withdrawal, as Maltese voted to stay in the EU ?
Just a thought !

Re: News for the remainiacs
In my opinion Schultz was always part of the problem! Just note his comment about “Leaders of EU countries not explaining to their people why they had handed power over to Brussels” It says it all doesn’t it.?As for his false humility statement saying how he has always kept his working-class roots by continuing to live in a working-class area. Don’t make me laugh!
This leech has been asking for more contributions from European and British taxpayers in order to fund his fat-cat lifestyle of a £227,000 salary, 2 Limousines, 2 Chauffeurs and 33 staff which consist of a spokesman, 5 press officers, 2 diary assistants and a speech writer. This vile man also has 2 ushers who dress in black tails to greet guests and fulfil other duties for him.
Even his fellow MEP's accused him of wasting public money on such extravagance. I'm sure even the Queen of Sheba didn't have half the personal staff he has! Two Jags had nothing on him!
Yes Mr Schultz, we British who you hold such disdain for, have indeed scared you enough to want to leave your lucrative lifestyle before the ship sinks. Good riddance!
