If only those Brexit party MEPs hadn't abstained, then Iran would really have listened.
Ah, the 'it probably won't succeed so lets not bother trying' argument.The message sent is that a significant number of British MEPs don't see this as important enough to even vote for.
Contemptible.

No, it's the it definitely wouldn't succeed and support for the EU is considered damaging, so don't do it argument.
Like jamming toothpicks in your car ignition and twisting because aren't holding the key, it's ok not to try some things that aren't going to work.
What it does is allow Iran, in the face of any serious diplomatic attempts to free her, to point to this vote as evidence that a significant proportion of the UK\s elected representatives don't give a st, so why should they.Like jamming toothpicks in your car ignition and twisting because aren't holding the key, it's ok not to try some things that aren't going to work.
Take your Brexit blinkers off for a second.
It does seem a bit of a strange thing to not put the interests of a British Citizen first simply to try and score a cheap political point.
Still, I'm sure when you voted for them and gave them money, as many on here did, you knew that's what you would be endorsing and funding.
Well done.

A strange bag of people in Nigel's private limited company. James Heartfield, from the Revolutionary Communist Party, four members from what was the RCP, parties who defended IRA atrocities and denied the existence of concentration camps run by 'socialist' serbs to incarcerate Bosnian Muslims.
That Farage openly criticises Corbyn for his support of the IRA is another example of his own hypocrisy and a clear indication that he is a symbol of a decline in the standards of public life in this country, where lies are acceptable and conspiracism reigns.

You're forgetting once again that the votes and the donations only go towards the good stuff.That Farage openly criticises Corbyn for his support of the IRA is another example of his own hypocrisy and a clear indication that he is a symbol of a decline in the standards of public life in this country, where lies are acceptable and conspiracism reigns.
Not those things.

What's the matter with you man? You have to be outraged, it's the way nowadays.
The word "outraged" appears once on this thread.I'm sure you can guess who used it.

It passed didn't it? So I guess we'll see how effective it is.... .
(When travelling to a home nation when you have dual nationality shouldn't you use that nation's passport? So in essence she was travelling as an Iranian national. The whole situation is bizarre and I can't imagine what she was thinking...).

The government has also been quite clear that it cannot intercede on a dual national's behalf with the second nation. It certainly used to be written inside the old blue passport. I don't have the Euro-floppy one to hand to check if it is still the case but this web page suggests that nothing has changed:(When travelling to a home nation when you have dual nationality shouldn't you use that nation's passport?

International law allows the authorities of that country to treat you while you are there as if that is your only nationality. The British representative there cannot give you assistance or protection against those authorities.

Whatever the resolution is, the Brexit Party should abstain.
We are leaving the EU.
And as much as I joke about setting fire alarms off etc etc
We just let the EU get on with it without us.
If we show that we are really keen to vote .... we will never leave.
There is nothing contemptible about it.
If we are leaving - then meddling in their affairs is contemptible.
They will have to deal with the decisions made.
We should not be voting in those decisions.
