Sopel Tweets Ten Times Since X Departure
4 hours ago
I am not a sheep, I have my own mind
I have had enough of being told what and how to think
Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech,
I will speak out.
I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.

This is exactly what UKIP should be doing more of. Tony Benn used to make the point that when we elect an MP, we are lending that MP our power for up to five years. At the end of that time, the MP has to hand power back undiminished. Since 1973, our political class has been stealing bits of that power, and handing it over to un-elected, un-accountable, irremovable bureaucrats who make law in secret to cover up all their dirty little deals. We are being taken back to a medieval style of rule in which the electorate will be the new peasantry, and our chief purpose will be to bankroll the adventures and big ideas of the ruling class. And please, nobody waste my time telling me about the European Parliament in that absurd sing-song voice that is always used to promote it. The EU parliament isn't actually a parliament in any accepted sense of the word; it is a committee with the sign "Parliament" hung on it. It has about as much influence on EU policy as a child's steering wheel has from the passenger seat of a car.
