He said right at the beginning that for reasons he would not go into he
was broadcasting from Spain yesterday evening. I guess they would have
use Zoom or something similar to save cost?

Ugh. How can he be in Europe! Except maybe to stir up trouble that's

Yes, when you've built your political career on lying about how awful it
is, despite it being where your ancestors came from.

It's public knowledge that 2 of his great-great-grandparents came from
Germany but what's your source for the rest of his ancestry?

Exactly so. I belong to England, which is part of Great Britain,
which is part of Europe which contains the European nations.

None of that implies that I in any way owe allegiance to the
~political construct~ that is the undemocratic, unelected,
administered by patronage, unaccountable to its "subjects"
European Union. Oh dear me no, not at all.

Many of the Europhiles have difficult distinguishing the EU from Europe
and often seem to think the terms are interchangeable.

Doubtless you can read Wikipedia as well as me. His is clearly not an
English name, and has been suggested to be French Huguenot in origin,
but even if it's just the two great-great-grandparents, that still makes
his lying about Europe somewhat hypocritical, don't you think?

None of that implies that you have the right to repeat the above lies
about the EU yet again. Do yourself a favour, and learn how the EU
really works. It is as democratic, probably more so, than any
government in the UK.

This is how the EU actually works, either read and understand it, or, if
you can't be arsed, stop speaking out of your arse about things that you
can't be arsed to understand:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Council
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Commission
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament

All Europhobes have difficulty in understanding the difference between
truth and lies.

He could have been in Gibraltar, not actually in Spain (yet), but in the Iberian peninsular.

He didn't lie about Europe, because his beef was with the EU and not the
member states themselves.

The man in the street elects the MPs who form the Parliament from which
is drawn the UK Government. The UK Parliament can develop policy.

The Man in the street elects MEPs who form the European Parliament. The
European Parliament cannot develop policy, it can only discuss and vote
on policies presented to them by the European Commission.

Spot the difference?

You made a a plain statement of fact as to his ancestors which you
cannot now back up.

The possible Huguenot origin of the name is irrelevant. It should be
obvious to the meanest intellect that a surname may be inherited from a
person who makes up a tiny fraction of his ancestry from 300 years ago.

And no, I don't agree that it's OK for you to lie about someone just
because you don't like his views. (Also, while I am no fan of his, like
others that I recall him slagging of EU institutions, leaders and
officials but not countries or peoples or the whole continent.)

But I do hate hypocrisy.

The EU is part of Europe, so in lying about the EU, he is inevitably
lying about Europe as well.

Nonsense, you yourself have admitted them to exist:

A *minimum* of 2 x great great grandparents is 2 / 2^4 which is 1/8, not
a tiny fraction of his ancestry.

I didn't lie, as you yourself admitted up thread.

Nonsense, reread the links given, which I note that you've snipped. The
Commission is the EU's equivalent of our civil service, and as such it
is responsible for drafting legislation requested by the democratically
elected European Parliament, and by the European Council, which itself
is composed of the democratically elected leaders of member nations. If
this is somehow undemocratic, how come you're not complaining that our
civil service is not democratically elected?
