That Mark Francois is an utter cretin, continuing to lie through his teeth and make stuff up.

I'm not sure how old you are, but we've been in the Common Market for 44 years, so even if you're 70 (which I believe you're not), you would have had perhaps 6 years of your adult life outside of the common market. I believe from memory that Joe is also under 70 so would have had very little practical experience either.

So my teenage years don't count...?

It’s become an utter farce now.

I agree with you on this one, Mutzo.

On the basis that you old fellas have discounted the wisdom of younger people numerous times during this debate, no. I'm sure being a teenager with a love of rock growing up in the 60s you spent all your time engrossed in European trade politics though.

On the main motion yes, not on the amendment.

No, she reneged on the free vote for the main motion because the amended version passed (effectively sabotaging her motion), so she then whipped against her own motion to try and counter the first result.

Extraordinary stuff.

Some members then ignored the whip.

In a free vote it would have passed by a lot more.

The link is both you and OldBlue are old, but not quite old enough to have any real personal experience of life outside the EU, despite both claiming to have so.

Cheeky sod ......what do you do?

Daily Mail comments section is gold at the moment, lots of talk of 'TRAITORS' and 'CIVIL WAR'.

That's one of your poorest posts in this thread, Bruce.

It may come as a surprise to you, but there was more than music in the 1960s.

Sarcasm doesn't become you - you don't have the wit to carry it off...

You haven't a clue about my life experience when we were not in the Common Market, so don't try to say you do.

To be blunt, you are spouting sanctimonious crap once again about individual members. Disgraceful behaviour from you once again, Bruce...
