> is delighted that the neo-Fascist UKIP

Maybe someone needs to give this man a dictionary.

How can a party that is a strong supporter of European free trade and honest friendly relations with Europe, but opposed to centralised rule by unelected fanatics, be termed a facist. Surely he has it the wrong way round?!

UKIP is against the broken and corrupt EU system, not Europe. Do at least do your research before slagging them down. The word Fascist has an actual meaning, it is not synonymous with "People I don't like".

There are 12 UKIP MEPs who work within a block of like minded EUsceptics in the Parliament to try and stop the worst excesses of the Commission by [tadaah] voting against the relevant directives.

The fact that the Commission brings the same old stuff back to the table, again and again, despite being voted down, again and again is something that cannot be changed by UKIP or anyone else. They say that the only way to stop it's effect on the UK is to leave the EU mechanism.
