It's rather like Parliament turning its back on the EU. So that's where the Brexit Party got the idea from.
Or did the Lib-Dems get the word "Bollocks" from Parliament saying Bollocks to the Withdrawal Agreement?
Either was Bollocks and Backs win.

There is no agreement and there is no deal. Parliament has rejected it.
Let's just call it a try-on!

No but you will hear it as being referred to as a country's anthem. Unless you are deaf of course.

They get paid allowances because they are representing their constituents, holding surgeries, replying to emails, etc.
They are not allowed to draw a backbencher’s salary, pension and receieve other grants as they do not attend the House so you seem to be misinformed here.
The Brexit Party MEPs are just 5th columnists who aim is to disrupt the EU Parliament. They are total hypocrites and nothing more than you would expect from something Farage put together.

Common sense tells you what some of them ought to be - democracy, freedom, prosperity and so on.
Bur corruption is not one of the common values; dysfunction (see the current top jobs process for details) is not one of the common values; a CAP designed for France is not one of the common values; a Euro designed for Germany is not one of the common values; federalisation is not one of the common values although it is sold by the likes of Juncker as such.
If the Brexit Party MEPs want to turn their backs on the symbol of pretence that the EU is a benign and benevolent body, then good luck to them.
If the Liberal-Democrats want to emblazon "Bollocks to Brexit" on their backs, then they were made for the undemocratic EU and Bollocks to them when we leave on 31-October.
|
But you are just superimposing your subjective perspective onto these values. Your right of course but it does not make you correct.
Let me ask you this: if you got a job at a new company and were sent the company standards e.g. dress code, protocols, etc. and you turned up in a tee shirt & shorts, went to your desk and played loud music all day, doing no work, would the company have a case that you are not doing the job you are being paid to do?

An explanation why Mr Farage needs his EU salary
he insists he needs his £94,000 annual MEP's salary because he cannot live in a 'mud hut'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...edia-firm.html
Seems reasonable to me.
