RKS on Today Programme

eublues · 13-02-2007, 01:58 PM

However many questions he may or may not have asked in the EU Parliament. he is not sounding effective or focused on what matters.

Bluemerle - If you go to the Europarl site Below:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/p...tm?redirection
you can see how many Written & oral Questions have been asked by all the UK MEPs. 513 by Kilroy - Silk, I wouldn't be surprised if he has written or questioned oraly more times than ALL the UKIP MEPs together :!: :roll:

There is a difference between "most" and "All together".

I wonder what the combined UKIP MEP figure is?
And which of them have asked more than 513?

Of course Kilroy now only has the EU for employment and something to do, while UKIP are still trying to get us out of the EU.

If asking question can add some value or score UKIP some points, then ask them.

Otherwise I want UKIP MEPs to show the contempt for that clown parliament that it deserves and concentrate on making it look bad and making UKIP look good.

Anyone who fell for the charms of RKS must now feel very humble.

I agree with Matt. UKIP MEPs did not take up their seats in order to ask questions and take part in the sham. They took their seats so they could expose what was happening and take the money. This paid employment means they can spend time travelling round the country and building UKIP, not trying to build their own careers as Mote and RKS are doing.

Mote in particular has to build his reputation and record because he knows otherwise he wont keep his seat at the next EP elections. UKIP MEPs on the toher hand are pretty safe in their seats as we are likely to win more next time. Also they are trying to build a party and not work as MEPs.

At the next EP elecions UKIP will have a load of new faces i suspect. A few of the current lot will step down i would imagine and need to be replaced, not to mention the new seats we will hopefully win.

Mote has little or no chance of getting back in, and then there's the court case.

Edward Longshanks · 13-02-2007, 06:38 PM

So if the likes of Bloom who has asked 1 question and can't be bothered to assist in any UKIP activities, what does he actually do all day? Apart from visit the cashpoint and various upmarket restaurants in Brussels?

Yes. David Campbell Bannerman and Annabelle Fuller for two, if NF gets his way.

We Taxpayers pay them to do a job.

I am disappointed terribly in the former UKIP leader's tally.
