I've heard it only drinks Evian water, and eats a particular type of pâté de foie gras.
The pampered pouch's dietary costs will presumably rocket, once we finally break free from the E.U.'s grasp.

Re: What's our MP up to?
I wish people would come and see what we do. 99% of the time has been spent on housing and metal theft. These other issues are not as important.

Quite a few wish M.P.s would explain changes of mind.

Oh, believe me, we do keep an eye on what you do Graham. And viewed from up here, it aint that impressive pal. The BBC Parliament channel is as close as most of us can stomach.

Well judging by todays European Court of Human Rights Ruling,
BBC News - Abu Qatada wins Jordan deportation appeal
I would have thought that Europe is very important. Would have been nice to see our MP representing his constituents. I wonder if he has a opinion on this.

Re: What's our MP up to?
Well no doubt Graham will be along to tell us what a wonderful and valuable job the European Court does for the people of this country, maybe they will pay the upkeep on him and his brood. Its always baffled me why some body who hates everything about Britain and the decadent west, is quite happy to let the same people keep them from taxes paid by people he hates so much

Re: What's our MP up to?
Just to clarify matters .
In Zurich in 1946 Sir Winston Churchill called for a "kind of United States of Europe" and the creation of a Council of Europe .
The Council of Europe was founded in 1949 by the Treaty of London .
The Council of Europe , with all of its 47 member states , adopted the European Convention on Human Rights .
This Convention established the European Court of Human Rights .
It is an entirely separate body from the European Union .

Re: What's our MP up to?
Fair enough, JCB.
But I am more concerned about the victims of 7/7 and 9/11.
As Clint Eastwood/ Dirty Harry once said' I'm all shook up about his civil rights'

Do the people in this country not have rights too, why should the tax payer keep this guy and his brood when none of them have put a red cent into the pot, we have rights too

THe problem is lack of guts from our politicians, both Tory and Labour.

Churchill.
Good war time leader, but also capable of being a total buffoon.
I'm with my great grandfather on this one. After the cruel and stupid actions he exhibited towards the workers, in the Great Strike.
This issue isn't unconnected with our membership of the E.U.
Britain should be in charge ot it's own destiny. As it has successsfully in the past, century, after century.
We never voted as a people, to have our democratically elected government be overruled by some greater European super power.
Our government want this man out, as do the vast majority of the people of this country.
We don't want idiots on mainland Europe, telling us what to do, and proclaiming that this arse is staying here, and we'll pay for the privilege.
