A bizarre but fascinating read this, from the UK Telegragh. It comes from David Hannan, a Tory MEP since 1999. He seems to be a fan of Dublin MEP Joe Higgins. Who thought you’d see the day a British Tory praised an Irish socialist in the UK media?
” It would be stretching things to call him a friend. Indeed, he refuses to talk to me or to any other “neo-liberal”. As far as I can make out, he holds me in particular contempt even among neo-liberals.”
The background suggests the video was shot in the European Parliament. However, it is clearly not in a plenary session. At the start it seems to be a press conference, but then Joe Higgins tells the chair that he is wrapping up, which I wouldn’t expect at at press conference. Do you know what it is?
