Nuttall not living in Stoke being another example, various issues around how EU money is secured and spent to run their operation are still being investigated.<br /><br />Unfortunately it highlights that despite us having lots of laws, the sanctions are generally no more than a slap on the wrist, so its worth ignoring them.<br /><br />In this case they lost, but I'm sure the guilty party has managed to get a decent pile of cash over the years feom the EU to pay for her indescretion.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-18764288129562716412017-02-07T16:32:45.172+00:002017-02-07T16:32:45.172+00:00Good job UKIP aren't looking down the barrel o...Good job UKIP aren't looking down the barrel of paying some serious wedge back to the EU or they wouldn't be able to help her... ah. <br /><br />Looks like she's on her tod then.

MEP immunity is limited to what the person could claim in the electing country, so she has the same privilege rights as an MP at Westminster - which only really covers what is said within the confines of Westminster (or the EP buildings in her case). Had she seriously looked at the terms of her job she should have known that. Did it never cross her mind to ask why other UKIP MEPs had not been shouting their mouths off about people?SteveBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-85922962304873877402017-02-07T13:58:34.447+00:002017-02-07T13:58:34.447+00:00Her next expenses claim could be interesting.Her next expenses claim could be interesting.SimonBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-69536975369150318952017-02-07T11:29:15.105+00:002017-02-07T11:29:15.105+00:00Unfortunately, in a way, their lies are usually no...Unfortunately, in a way, their lies are usually not actually 'libellous' of individuals, just institutions, political parties and minority groups, so the courts probably wont be too concerned with them.
