European Parliament
Ashley Mote (NI ). –
Mr President, over the last few weeks we have seen the sorry spectacle of the EU dithering, this time while Lebanon burned. There was, eventually, a derisory offer of 200 peacekeepers from France – even Bangladesh managed more than that, and quicker! Remember the tsunami? The US had 150 helicopters and a battle fleet on their way within hours, and the EU held meetings. The Balkans: NATO was on the ground sorting out the mess, and the EU held meetings.
This grandiose, self-styled supranational government finances the people who voted in Hamas terrorists and now threatens Polish shipyards with closure. But you will not face up to Iran! Some summer recess!
