After the latest EU Court of Auditors report revealed graft and corruption across institutions of the European Union, the EU Observer published a commentary by Richard Corbett, which is in effect a reply to the eurosceptics. I wanted to mention it here, because it offers the counterargument (i.e. that EU corruption is not as bad as [...]

Richard Corbett MEP, Labour's euro-spokesman on EU Reform in the European Parliament, today expressed his surprise at yet another Tory split on Europe. Two Conservative MEPs, Christopher Beazley and Caroline Jackson approved a report that means that the blue flag with twelve gold stars and Beethoven's Ode to Joy will be officially recognised by the Parliament.
Tomorrow’s vote in the European Parliament on the EU anthem and flag is endorsing a decision made by Margaret Thatcher and EU heads of government 23-years-ago, points out Labour MEP Richard Corbett. The original decision to adopt the 12-starred flag and Beethoven’s Ode To Joy as the EU’s symbols, was agreed in the EU Council meeting of 1985 on behalf of Britain by Mrs Thatcher.
It kicked off with 'Happy Harriet' that is funny but clearly a spoof. Then somebody managed to turn off the comments on Richard Corbett's blog (only it wasn't his blog at all). Then I stumbled across the so-called 'Number 10' website, that was totally deadpan and almost believable. Via the comments at Old Holborn comes F***ing C***s online. , which is beyond satire, it is the equivalent of returning...
Tomorrow’s vote in the European Parliament’s Constitutional Affairs committee on the EU anthem and flag is endorsing a decision made by Margaret Thatcher and EU heads of government 23-years-ago, points out Labour MEP Richard Corbett.

He thinks it’s wonderful that we’re getting social democracy through Europe. But of course the question is, do we actually want social democracy here? I tend to think that the UK doesn’t (or rather, the people of it don’t)…so what is the value of having it imposed? However, this is really rather good. David Cameron has pledged that [...]
Richard Corbett is rightly enraged that the Daily Telegraph published an article entitled ‘EU mandarins force Peking duck off the menu‘. Just like all of these myths about the EU trying to do something there’s half a grain of truth in it, and the rest is complete crap. Essentially ovens imported into the EU from China [...]
The rash of rather creepy articles written by a range of Euro-phile sleazes from Denis MacShane to Richard Corbett have one thing in common: they all view the No vote in the Irish referendum as a starting point for negotiations, rather than as the final decision of the Irish people as ratified in plebiscite. It's a bit reminiscent of a leering pervert in a sweaty club - 'Now you don't mean that
Check out this odious, vile little mans blog , he is a typical Labour MEP, who like all in the Labour party is totally out of touch with the needs of the people. In the highlighted post he re-hashes the old old arguments about Ireland and the EU, it is so obvious that he would be far happier for Ireland to be denied a vote. Much like we were by our embittered old queen Gordon "cyclops" Brown. One minor...
It’s still early days yet, but there’s an inkling that it might be a no vote. We would do well to point to Richard Corbett’s comments: Following my comments of yesterday, yet another myth has been drawn to my attention. This time it is that the European Parliament voted not to respect the results of an Irish [...]

Labour's Richard Corbett MEP has called, he says of the Tory Euro-MPs troubles: "I suppose I should be jumping up and down with glee but I'm afraid we all get tarnished with the same brush." He says that they have fully audited expenses for all Labour MEPs and that he is "not aware of any service companies... Any member of the European Parliament found to transgress the rules should be dealt with appropriately....
