Now I know you're a comic genius. Even you can't claim not to have realised what you have written

Well thank you.
....but she is prepared to stand up for the sovereignty of parliament which is what I thought Leave voters supported.
Or is parliament only legitimate when it endorses your views?
Your comments are muddled....

It would be interesting to hear what uber Brexiteer Priti Patel thinks of Trump's latest outburst. Probably thinks it's marvellous, what with the Donald being independent Brexit Britain's bestest-ever special friend.

And you edited your post! Which did say:
I help people for free with legal scams in my spare time. I think that demonstrates my common humanity. But fair enough, you don't know me. I realise from my own life experience that it's hard to judge people on t'internet.
What does that woman do apart from:
''Look at me, I'm going to throw my toys out of the pram because my life will be adversely affected by Brexit and I don't give a shit what the 'great unwashed' majority of voters want, they are all thick and considerably less rich than me...''.
Rather like the idiot who threw money at trying to prosecute Boris, it will be doomed. Only she does at least seem to have a keener brain than him.
Given your predisposition to help others and your legal knowledge, I must admit I am surprised you warm to 'Boris'. I am not sure he has either of those attributes!

He's obviously caught me out with his principled stand against gambling.
And hiding all his anti-gambling posts in amongst the racist, anti semitic, nazi supporting posts picking on people claiming benefits who hadn't paid NI. Fancy not spotting his principled stance on betting in amongst that lot
And it's interesting to see who constantly leaps to our little racist nazis defence

In my first two weeks as a member of the European Parliament, I've stumbled into a baffling realization.
Next to nobody in Brussels has any clue what the European Union truly stands for — beyond a flag and an anthem — and more crucially, where it is heading. And that includes the EU leaders and senior officials soullessly waddling through the corridors of power.
When I arrived in the EU capital, I expected to find it brimming with activity and potential answers to these questions.
Instead, I felt duped: Making a tangible impact on constituents’ lives is apparently not what being an MEP is all about. (Oh, and Belgian hot chocolate is a distinct disappointment.)
When I look at my daily to-do list, I feel as though I’ve left the shores of the real life and stepped into a maze of bureaucracy, needless technicalities and political performance.
MEPs live in a bubble — one where we celebrate politicians who bailed out bankers, blamed migrants and imposed crippling levels of austerity. It's also one where the slightest bit of difference stands out like a sore thumb. Only 30 of the new class of 751 MEPs are people of color, and if you look different from your average MEP (as I do), it's not easy.

Silly old bat
He was asked to leave because he was wearing a baseball cap, and a T-shirt with swearing and an anti-fascist slogan on it when he was asked to leave. There is a dress code in the Parliament.

Well that will definitely change the Parliamentary arithmetic, and ensure that LEAVE really means LEAVE this time

Membership pack just arrived now via GB couriers. Thanks for the extra gifts, union jack shorts, socks. They will come in handy as I intend to sit outside today, and enjoy the weather.

As usual you make a strong and virtually unanswerable case. Against your deluge of evidence-based analysis all I can do is come up with this pathetically brief response. A fair minded and reasonable person would conclude that any of the meagre costs incurred on the pursuit of Brexit are indeed chicken-feed when stacked up against the huge benefits thereof.
According to a recent report by S&P Global Ratings, Brexit has cost the British economy £66bn in just under three years - equivalent to around £1,000 per person in the country.
The financial services company calculated that since the referendum, the UK has missed out on £550m of economic growth per week.
A sharp drop in the value of the pound has caused much of the damage by reducing people’s purchasing power, analysts say. Weaker sterling has meant imports are more expensive, with rising prices passed on to consumers.
“Household spending would have been considerably stronger - in line with GDP - had the referendum not occurred,” says the S&P report, titled Countdown To Brexit: What Might Have Been For The UK Economy.
When oh when will these Project Fear merchants and stop caring on about trivialities such as loss of GDP, business confidence, decline in living standards, industrial decline, international credibility and all that nonsense - and start concentrating on the things that matter like really funny t-shirts and stuff??

As has been pointed out, there may be other reasons he wasn't recognised as an MEP, and to think running a parliament of MEPs representing 27 different countries interests won't be bureaucratic and technically complex may be a little naive.
But what do you think he is going to do about it.
Stay and work to change the things he doesn't agree with or run all the way back to Sheffield with his fingers in his ears shouting about how Horrid they are at the EU and how he will never ever have anything more to do with them ever again ?
I wonder which approach he will adopt
