    They can't. All available land in Kent is now taken up by lorries queueing at Customs and sniffer dog kennels to keep out the migrants. We control our own borders in six months time and have secretly been investing in shipbuilding yards because we will be patrolling our territorial waters. We need homes for all those shipbilders. After all I'm sure they've thought about that ages ago - what to do when the French decide to stop doing us a favour by preventing them getting into the lorries. Then again, perhaps not.

    He's speaking tosh....

    That kind of attitude probably endears him to the Labour faithful, but to anyone who isn't so tribalistic, it's just pathetic.

    MEPs' expenses details to stay secret after EU court ruling
    European Court of Justice says data would infringe MEPs' privacy

    MEPs expenses do not face the same level of scrutiny as MPs ( AFP/Getty )
    The European Union’s highest court has ruled that the expenses of members of the European Parliament (MEPs) can remain secret, after a bid by campaigners and journalists to bring transparency to the Brussels legislature.
    The ECJ ruled that the European Parliament was right to refuse requests for information on the grounds that releasing the information would undermine “the protection of privacy and the integrity of the individual”.
    The court also said that the information should not be released in an anonymised form to protect privacy because it would represent “an excessive administrative burden” to delete names and that it would not be useful without names attached.
    The European Parliament has repeatedly refused requests for detailed information on the 751 MEPs’ travel expenses, subsistence allowances, and other monetary claims relating to office costs.
    Around €450 million of the Parliament’s annual budget is thought to go on salaries, travel expenses, and office costs, with an additional €40 million on expenses.
    The group of journalists who made the information request, who hail from all 28 EU member states, had asked the parliament for the last four years of records.
    The specific documents asked for include information about money MEPs were given on top of their salaries, including their general expense allowance, travel allowance, daily subsistence and staffing cost allowance.
    After the original 2015 request rejected they took their bid to the European Court of Justice.
    But the Court said: “In 2015, a number of journalists and journalism associations requested access from the Parliament to documents relating to the subsistence allowances, travel expenses and parliamentary assistance allowances of Members of the European Parliament (‘MEPs’).
    “Those requests were all refused by the Parliament, as were the confirmatory applications which followed them.

    “The persons concerned brought an action before the General Court seeking the annulment of the Parliament’s decisions.
    “By today’s judgment, the General Court dismisses the actions and confirms the Parliaments’ decisions refusing access to the documents requested.”
    In July MEPs rejected a bid to add an extra degree of accountability to their ‘general expenditure allowance’ system. MEPs currently do not have to keep their receipts or disclose to their constituents what that money is spent on. These €4,416 monthly payments are paid to MEPs in addition to their regular monthly salary of €8,611.

    Watching the Brexit debate at Labour conference.
    With every speech we are confirming our status as a middle-class, London-centric, uber-liberal, youth-obsessed party.
    As I heard someone say last night, we are handing a P45 notice to every Labour MP in the north & Midlands. #Lab18

    Why am I not surprised by this? Democracy is still a difficult concept in parts of Europe. The latest is Vera Jourova, EU Justice Minister who want to the EU to "regulate" material in the press and wider media that it critical of the European Union. And she thinks this is acceptable

    The more I read about how the EU works the more I want out. It's a corrupt protectionist organisation that is geared up for Germany then France. When we break free from it I can see the UK prospering and the EU getting worse.

    Huge support in the Labour Party Conference for a General Strike. That's Corbyn's Labour. We go back to 1926

    That’s part of the reason that I, and many like me on the left, despise what the EU has become. A load of rich people making profit from the poor of Europe. The sooner we are out of this club the better.

    QUOTE="DT’s Socks, post: 12152873, member: 1047256"]He is just a normal bloke who imo is right on a lot of matters including the evil of Israel[/QUOTE]

    So let me get this straight Corbyn has spoken up against the annexing of Palestine and he's evil and hates all Jews. Yet you point out factual information about Farage, things he has actually said and done and it's a witch hunt and doesn't matter... Something doesn't add up here.

    Exactly, the Israeli government and their land grabs are pretty disgusting.

    I wouldn't equate the Tories hating on ISIS as them being anti muslim. Dunno why he thinks supporting palestine means anti jew.
