BRUSSELS may be bracing itself for Ann Widdecombe’s engaging theories on how science may one day provide a cure for homosexuality, but the Brexit Party’s grande dame is far from the only novelty act signing on for expenses and rations in the European parliament. The new intake should comfortably allow the EU assembly to live up to its reputation as part-retirement home for elderly or disgraced ex-leaders, as well as a vehicle for the plain weird and unpleasant. Chief attraction will be 82-year-old Silvio “Bunga Bunga” Berlusconi, unable to hold office in his homeland because of a criminal conviction for corruption, who returns as an MEP 15 years after comparing German socialist Martin Schulz to a Nazi commandant in the Strasbourg chamber – launching Schulz’s career in the process. Unsettlingly relentless plastic surgery and a perma-tan that puts Donald Trump to shame cannot mask the reality that Berlusconi, who had open heart surgery and recovered from bowel surgery weeks before the European elections in May, is an ailing force. Vox populist On the far right, meanwhile, Europe’s fascists will mourn the loss of Marine Le Pen, who is staying in the French National Assembly. Hope for a new era of cranks is offered by Spain’s Vox party, which secured three MEPs on the back of a campaign which accused its rivals of “losing the Christian vote by begging for the vote of the Moors”. Vox’s Jorge Buxadé further showed the party’s progressive tendencies by arguing that “just like Cinderella was mistreated by her stepsisters, normal Spanish women are being told what to do by the ugly ones who call themselves feminists”. The Austrian Freedom Party’s delegation includes Heinz-Christian Strache, a former dental technician. Strache was Austria’s vice-chancellor until May, when a film showing him apparently offering favours to the niece of an alleged Russian oligarch went viral and brought about the collapse of the government. But even someone with his baggage hesitates at the prospect of Strasbourg: Strache now looks set to stay home and run for mayor of Vienna instead. Orbán sprawl Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán’s latest V-sign to the EU was to appoint his justice minister László Trócsányi at the top of his Fidesz party’s list. Orbán’s government has been repeatedly censured by the EU for packing the judiciary with cronies and intimidating journalists. Rumours abound that Orbán will double down by appointing Trócsányi as Hungary’s designated commissioner in a bid to troll the pro-European majority in the parliament. When it comes to humour, Germany’s satirical Die Partei was the main winner, doubling its representation to two MEPs. Martin Sonneborn’s anti-party party jokes of rebuilding the Berlin Wall in its manifesto. He may be one of the more serious players in the parliament. www.private-eye.co.uk/hp-sauceYou have to laugh. What else is there to do? Even battleaxe Ann Widdecombe has got an EU pension now.

Undemocratic, totalitarian (fascist) This is not democracy’: European parliament unites to condemn selection of new EU Commission president behind closed doorswww.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/european-commission-president-ursula-von-der-leyen-juncker-eu-parliament-a8987841.htmlThe German term spitzenkandidat – plural spitzenkandidaten – traditionally refers to the lead candidate of a party. There were several and all were ignored when the EU heads of state locked themselves in a room for three days thrashing out their quid pro quos. When it comes to taking the Michael out of us Europeans, this is probably as good as it will ever get... I still crease up at it!

""""The key minerals used in today’s batteries are cobalt of which 60% is sourced from one country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and lithium of which more than 50% is sourced from the Lithium Triangle in South America, which covers parts of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile.

I wonder just hown many are really aware of what is going in the Congo and other parts of Africa do to the the greed and exploitation of Africans and their materials .. south America too.... strange isn't it many of the most in human treatments of peoples all comes down to the west and its corporate greed and its thinking that as long as its profitable then anything goes h again……..remembering too that Ebola is on the march again .. but this is largly ignord and will continue to be until some westerner just happens to contac it

There seems to be a thread of cultural suicide in Western Culture. It's the "horrible curse" of kindness in western culture, Men an tol. Too much of that going around. A Curse of Kindness. That is certainly a way of looking at it. I am coming to believe that there is in Western culture (at least for some people) a lack of reality. That is a belief that all cultures are equal. I guess that might be considered as true if there are no standards by which to judge the cultures. But if we just apply one, that is, that individual freedom is the primary cultural factor, then, to accept other cultures as equal that do not have our level of individual freedom is not realistic.

well cultures most certainly are not equal but things will change whether the rigthons and limps like it or not... in London and other large diversified cities there is at least one murder a day via knife crime..... the question keeps coming up as to why the populace is not up in arms about this and the answer is simple... the majority populace are not up in arms for several reasons 1/they see it as some thing which was bound to happen thanks to liberalism and righton and pc thinking 2/inept political mismanagement at both local[mayoral] and government level 3/its mainly black on black and drugs and gang related so who cares about criminal people 4/the law and legal services do not punish criminals in any way.. there is no detterent thanks to liberalisation and even those who are not here legally are never sent back 5/ while they are killing each other they are leaving the rest alone
the other weekthere was a woman[black]who gave the best speech ever about this situation and gave really positive thinking on tackling it... but no one will listen because it doesn't tick the stupid boxes of the illiberal wimps and rubbishes diviersity

England would seem to be on the best track out of it. That Germany seems to have an unarmed military is scary. I can’t help but wonder what impact there is on NATO. Maybe it would be in England's best interest to seal the tunnel.
