A drunk Eurosceptic makes more sense than a sober federalist
I'm a bit behind the curve here, but I've just found this delicious clip of Godfrey Bloom, a UKIP Euro-MP, addressing the chamber – having evidently enjoyed a couple of bottles of Alsatian pinot noir first.
UKIP's Godfrey Bloom adresses the chamber after a few ales
The funny thing is that, although he had to be carried out by an intern, he still spoke more sense than you usually hear in the hemicycle. Alright, it's not elegant, and the reference to the Poles, Czechs and Latvians – MEPs, after all, representing friendly countries – is gratuitous. But Godders' essential point is right: the City of London has been deleteriously affected by EU rules. If you want to hear real tosh, listen to Euro-enthusiast MEPs debating the Irish "No" vote. And that's when they're sober.
So long and thanks for all the clicks
