"the efforts of a Labour MEP"
A Labour politician. Oh, there IS a surprise.
Just what is it about these miserable little bogies that they have to poke their noses into things that don't concern them? Not that the Tories are exactly paragons of virtue, but the last Labour government showed that the party has far more than its fair share of control freaks and jackbooted petty dictators.
Get lost, McAven. Just get back under your stone and stay there.
