Lib Dem Fibbery: Chris Davis Premature Ejaculation


This is an odd one. Rochdale online's headline is "Rochdale MEP wins €10billion vote to fight climate change". Leaving aside the geographical gaffe - Chris Davis MEP is a regional MEP along with eight others - we then find that:

Now Chris Davies MEP starts a hectic month of meetings with ministers across Europe to try and win a majority in favour of the plan.

So the Saddleworth Clown has not won a penny yet? Is that it you Lib Dems??

Take a leaf out of the book of the 'Rochdale' MEP who loves the Amsterdam Treaty.

Calm down, chill out and skin up.

Groovy man.

"Rochdale" MEP and advocate of medicinal weed.

Talking of weeds, what does Rochdale spin muppet dodgy Dave Hennegan think of illegal drug taking?

Tough on crime...?

Now I'm not one to stand up for Chris Davies MEP (who is in any case a walking advertisement for why not to vote LibDem), but this is a silly criticism - you know very well that MEPs of all colours do this.

Of course if a local resident in Rochdale approaches their CLP to ask who their local MEP is, they'll be told that Gary Titley is the person to see - with no mention even of the other two Labour MPs for the region!

Absolutely Ian, well said. Problem starts when people asked for their MEPs who were elected as Lib Dems. Shallow, opportunistic MEPs like Saj Karim would then have to be discussed.

Shame that his promise to bring 'loads' of Liberals to the Tories didn't work. He ended up with about 2, I think?

I'd left that aside Iain! But I would say that Chris Davies MEP is the only one who plays this "XYZ's MEP" card in this way. Are Atkins, Dover and Sumberg all retiring this time?
