Off The Rails

The Conservative Party is crowing that it has re-recruited David Campbell Bannerman MEP, Mr Rail Privatisation, which is allegedly required by the EU, although that one seems to have escaped the notice of every other member-state. UKIP is well rid of him, it says a lot about a party half of whose voters for Strasbourg are Old Labour (or, in the West Country, Old Liberal) that it ever had him, and its says everything about Cameron's lot that they are so happy to have him back.
