UKIP like to pick holes in The EU. Well it can't be perfect whilst ever it can have the likes of Godfrey Bloom claiming a salary.... I notice he "represents " my neck of the woods. Looks like we have no representation then.

I often wonder how an institution can thrive when the system allows people to have a say in fettering it as part of it. Farage was disgusting when mocking the President of it, and Bloom is not fit to hold office, let alone hold his trousers up.

Just in case anyone likes to see balance, I have none to offer here. Democracy is served best by those wishing to be positive and wise. Bloom shows himself to be parochial and foolish. If he wishes to work for local needs, why not join his sister party BNP and try for a Parish councillor? That's where you fight local battles, and preferably wearing a badge that better describes your views.
