More on UKIP behaving badly!

The following is the entry for the Labour MEP Richard Corbett's blog for last Tuesday, linked here:-

Tuesday 14 September


I have a meeting with Margot Wallström, the Swedish member of the European Commission. If approved by the European Parliament, she is to be responsible for constitutional issues and for communications and media in the next Commission. She is also a charming and delightful lady. I do several interviews for French radio and television stations on the unfortunate case of Mr Laurent Fabius, former Prime Minister and former MEP who, after changing his position several times, has come out against the constitution – to the consternation of many of his comrades.

I spend much of the day with Inigo Mendez de Vigo. He and I have been charged with drafting Parliament's report on the Constitution and, with the committee secretariat, we make steady progress in our first draft which will go before the constitutional affairs committee.

In the evening I go out for a bite with David Martin, Peter Skinner and Jim Nicholson, the Ulster Unionist MEP, following which we go for a beer in Murphy's, an Irish pub near the cathedral. After a while we become aware that the English speaking group in the corner noisily enjoying themselves are in fact UKIP MEPs, when one of them comes up to me and swears at me. I sometimes wonder if it's worth bothering countering UKIP's bogus arguments – they are well on the way to discrediting themselves without any external assistance!

It is noteworthy how well informed Mr Corbett MEP keeps his constituents and the general public of his activities and views. What a stark contrast with the performance of the UKIP group!
