How do you change the common fisheries policy when you the only person in the EU Parliament wanting to change it ?
Can you tell me ?
The cheeky bastward is being paid by the British tax payer and therefore should be doing the job he is being paid for, like everybody else!!
And you have the audacity to wing about the EU??

Do we have regular updates on what they are doing for us?
Do we even know who they are?
At least we've heard of Farage!

I'd have thought an old campaigner like you would appreciate his protest, peaceful and determined over 25 years.
The EU Parliament is nothing more than a nonsensical show. They talk, they argue, they vote, but that's it.
The real decisions are taken by an unassailable Commission of (I think) 28. That's as near as you can get to a true dictatorship.

This not being enough, two UKIP MEPs were jailed for expense fraud and benefit fraud and last year two further UKIP MEPs were forced to repay nearly £40k to the European Parliament after being found to have used allowances improperly.The cheeky bastward is being paid by the British tax payer and therefore should be doing the job he is being paid for, like everybody else!!

Urgghhhh the politics of principle.
All principles do is force you into making bad decisions .
Labour committed expense fraud - they also invaded Iraq illegally instead of saving the NHS from privatisation... then borrowing through PFI and ...privatizing the NHS.
Principles ... All Farage would be doing is exercising the principle of "wasting his time".

Only because he's despicable example of a human being!!! - and yes I do happen to know who my MEP is - Keith Taylor - a member of the GREEN party.

Can't argue about what Labour have done or the Con's as I agree with you, but in my local town we finished up with 2 new hospitals a walk in centre, and 3 out patient centres. If that improvement was brought about via PFI, bring it on.
And yes Farage may think he's wasting his time but he is being payed for f all. Most people would have resigned on moral grounds.

I think you will find most people on the Brussels gravy train are being paid for f all including the EU Council.
Do you think no politician has the right to abstain a vote ?

Hi
You may find that people take more notice of your posts if you gat your facts right.
First of all you posted that the UK would get £600 Billion in WTO Tariffs from the EU.
When challenged you eventually reduced that figure to £60 Billion.
Another completely false figure.
You were challenged again , because £60 Billion is still massively overstated.
You have not withdrawn that or apologised.
Your posts are so inaccurate that they are worthless.
A complete fabrication and misrepresentation of the facts.
