Marta.

Last evening, the Spaniard Marta Andreasen was on Question Time and did very well for someone for whom English is a second language.
For readers unaware, she is standing for the European Parliament on behalf of UKIP and as a Number 2 candidate has a good chance of election.

Her history is interesting, to say the least.

She was the Chief Accountant in Brussels who first refused to sign off the accounts. For her principled stand and genuine 'whistleblowing' - she was sacked. Neil Kinnock was behind this if reports are to be believed.
She exposed the corruption, fraud, double dealings and institutional dishonesty of the EU.
She paid a heavy price and deserves to be elected on June the 4th. I wish her well.
Incidentally, she was invited to speak just 3 times during the programme - William Hague 14 times!
No BBC bias there, eh?

Er ... Yes! Possibly,
