Dear Editor,
Mr Anderson stated in The Journal two weeks ago (31st),
“When Mr Arnott and his colleagues start attending their jobs regularly in
Brussels and Strasbourg and do their job for which they were elected they might
be listened to more”. However, in today’s (11th)
edition of The Journal, Mr Anderson stated that he wasn’t actually referring to
my 95%+ voting record, and was only considering my party leader, Nigel
Farage.
So, let’s talk about party leaders.
Currently his leader, Ed Miliband, has a measly 37.43% voting record in
Westminster. Gordon Brown, Labour’s former leader, currently has a shocking
voting record of just 12.78%.
A return journey for me to travel to the European Parliament in
Strasbourg is nearly 1500 miles. I should also point out I do not have a ‘second
home’ in either Brussels or Strasbourg, unlike a number of North East Labour MPs
who have taxpayer funded properties down in the Westminster bubble.
Labour’s continued tasteless smears against UKIP are getting tiresome.
But I suppose, considering Labour’s record in government was so abysmal, turning
to gutter style politics was always inevitable.
Jonathan Arnott MEP
UKIP, North East
Now perhaps, readers of this Blog will
be understanding the principal reason why I target Jonathan's output. Perhaps
more than any other UKIP elected member, he slams LibLabCon ineptitude and
dishonesty with facts, facts and more facts. The best of a very good
bunch?
