And he’s being heckled, actually, for telling the truth. I remain amazed that the majority of people involved in democracy (politicians) appear to consider the institutions of the EU sufficiently democratic.

It is easy, when you are not a political anorak, to forget just what a corrupt organisation it is that makes the majority of our laws. The ‘elections’ we’ll have in June will not do anything to address that.

If you support a party that supports retained membership of the EU, don’t vote that way in June if you agree that democracy is the best form of government. If your party support retained membership of the EU, write to your MP, write to the leader of that party and tell them that you are not happy with being run by the EU.
