This even has their phone numbers:

Handy if I ever feel inclined to ring him and tell him he's a twat...I probably won't though...

If it wasn't for Google, nobody would even have the first idea who their MEPs were. And Google doesn't seem to have their email addresses, probably due to some sort of EU privacy directive in action.

Most London MEPs appear to be aligned with S&D, who tended to vote For the law.

Maybe if a few more Londoners wrote to and petitioned their MEPs and got more involved, you would hear a bit more from them?

As an outer I'm pretty sure you've heard of Gerard Batten

He's something to do with UKIP, isn't he? Don't assume I align myself with their politics, there are plenty of "Outers" from all political persuasions (with the obvious exception of the Lib-Dooms).

We don't have an MEP, we have a selection of toadies, who brown-nosed their way to the top of a list. In London, for example, I have a choice of 8. I've never heard a peep out of any of the useless s.

If anyone’s interested in how their MEP voted, the list is on Reddit here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comm...ctive_by_name/

French voted for, Polish against, Germany and U.K. roughly split.

You did all petition your MEP, didn’t you?

So pretty much every Government for 40 years then?

I was about to say that the EU weren't blamed for the Falklands War, but then I remember that the Argies used military hardware bought from the French (Mirage & Super Etendard), Aermacchis from Italy and various helicopters, so I guess some will blame the EU for that too.

Blame the EU and accept no responsibility yourself

You've not read the memo.

For a hard right EU-hater, if anyone who is involved in the EU does a good thing, they are just as wrong as if they do a bad thing.

When the answer is "Blame the EU and accept no responsibility yourself", it's funny that some of these people refer to those who are more balanced than them as "snowflakes"

TPTB won't like that, MEPs are there to do as they're told, not think for themselves ffs.

Or, alternatively, the EU isn't as undemocratic as the ill-informed think it is.

Voted, rejected.

Aren't MEP's wonderful?

Only 9 more months until we can revert to doing the bidding of JRM, lucky us.
