Richard Corbett MEP.

I was truly delighted back at the count for the Yorks & N. Lincs regional MEPs back in 2009 - Labour's Richard Corbett lost his seat! If there was one thing which upset me about the 2014 results - it was that this man is back in office.
Not only was he central to the wicked rules which made it extremely hard for eurosceptic parties to access EU funding (see first posting today) but I personally saw an illegitimate argument used by him in a school debate in North Yorkshire. That argument was factually destroyed by his opponent. Yet, with neither embarrassment nor shame - he trotted it out again at a meeting in Sheffield Cathedral some months later where many more people were present.

Has He Ever Been On Our Side?
