The post you are reporting:
Marek,
Re your post above, the question I actually asked was how have the Labour MEP`s been " fighting for the interests of the British people " not what have they been doing in the EU. I wouldn`t particularly class any of your three examples as being purely for the benefit of this country. I`m not sure either as to whether you can credit ( in point No.2 ) Linda McAvan with anything. Did she actually instigate the campaign in question? ( fair play to her if she did ).
I suppose on the other hand you could say that whilst in the EU, Labour have overseen and gone along with the loss of our sovereignty, security and the erosion of the British culture and countless other detrimental elements.
You then ask " What have UKIP achieved ". Well, in order to answer that you have to appreciate that UKIP`s prime role and objective in the EU is, and to coin Dave`s favourite saying, to " keep banging on about Europe ".
As far as UKIP is concerned and with our limited resources, we look after our own peoples interests not by joining in with the general charade that is the European Parliament, but by bringing to the publics attention as best we can the stupidity, cost and the many negative issues that emit from this bureaucratic talking shop. You know, the sort of things that not one Labour MEP would have the guts to say.
There are many "YouTube" clips showing UKIP MEP`s taking the EU to task and standing up for the UK. Guess how many Labour MEP`s do the same thing?
It`s quite obvious that we`ll never see eye to eye on this particular issue as we view the whole EU situation from a completely different standpoint. You want us in and attempt to make the EU better for us ( won`t happen! ) whereas I want out asap.
One final point, as time is getting late, you mention that " UKIP lost to the BNP in practically every constituency in the general election ". Not true. Where we went head to head with the BNP they achieved more votes in 178 seats compared with UKIP`s 123. There were valid reasons for this which I won`t go into tonight ( this morning! )
