UKIP committee members in the EU Parliament

One of the reasons why it's so important to form a group in the EU Parliament is that it increases the number of inside men (and women) we have on committees, seeing first hand what is working its way through the bureaucratic mess that passes for a legislative system and having the opportunity to filter out some of the more dangerous and outrageous suggestions before they get to the puppet parliament.

Here are the committee appointments for UKIP members of the EFDD group:

Well said Achilles.
I must admit I was hoping to see Janice Atkinson and Diane James in there too.
After all I voted for them both.
By the way, who did you vote for?
Bernard from Bucks I am from the South West so my people were William Dartmouth and Julia Reid.

Tthey are both lovely people. I met them both before they got elected. We should have got three seats in the South West. We got a huge percentage but somehow the greens slipped through and took the last seat. So we only got two seats instead of the three we were expecting.

I am especially interested in winning the votes of young people. There is a desperate shortage of jobs and house prices are far too high.
I expect people buying second homes is the cause of high prices in the South West. Here in the South East and particularly in the London area, single people need between 6x ans 9x of their salary to get on the housing ladder. It's completely out of their reach now.
Bernard from Bucks

Immigration is the reason there is a shortage of houses. The young generation need our help. They need a decent home and a decent job. Young people need to make a good start in life.

A decent home should not be a life's ambition. A decent home should be the starting point. We need more British jobs for young British workers.

Come and join the peoples army. Fight for a fair deal for the young generation .
Bernard from Bucks

The young generation are the flower of the nation. They will not prosper unless they get the support and encouragement they need.

The young people of Britain have been neglected. Labour's policy is to stop their benefits. That was not what young people expected when the asked for help.

We must try to get more British jobs for young British workers.

Come and join the Peoples Army.
I've been a fully paid up member for years.
Bernard from Bucks

I am very pleased you are a fully paid up member. But I always end my posts with and call to the balcony.

Come and join the Peoples Army. Fight for more British jobs for young British workers.
To late, they are totally brainwashed by both the EU, and the race relations industry through their schools ,we will have to do it without them.

You are probably right. But the latest Labour policy to help young people is to stop their benefits.

Labour has shot itself in the foot. And UKIP should take advantage of this blunder by Labour.

UKIP should recruit some of these angry young people into its peoples army.

We need good homes and jobs for all young people. Fight for a fair deal for the young generation.

UKIP needs angry young men, to fight the evils of the ruling elite of two old parties.

Long live the peoples army.
DICK R

There are some very interesting issues that I cannot quite put into words.

1/ National debt has doubled since 2010

2/ Trade deficit is $111 billion dollars a year after accounting for invisibles such as banking

3/ This is $20 billion dollar worse that a year ago

4/ The NHS is collapsing under the weight of numbers

5/ The NHS was designed to get workers back to work quickly, but workers cannot even get to see their doctors in a reasonable time.

6/ The governments budget deficit is not coming down. And now stands at £107 billion pounds.

These issues are vote winners but it is hard to put these issues into words that people can understand.
