When MEPs hooted and jabbered like stricken animals at the President of the Czech Republic, who happened to oppose the Lisbon Treaty, no action was taken (see here). When the then Liberal leader, Graham Watson, said that pro-referendum campaigners reminded him of Russian Communists and German Nazis, he was roundly applauded. When Martin Schulz, the Socialist leader, said that Euro-sceptic MEPs made him think of him of Adolf Hitler, the Euro-MPs behind him nodded sagely (See here. Weirdly, the clip of Shulz’s remarks can no longer be accessed on the EP website.)
By contrast, when Nigel Farage, the leader of UKIP, complained that Herman Van Rompuy, the new President of Europe had the charisma of a wet rag, he was fined 2,980 euros. Now Nigel’s language was boorish, which was a pity, as it detracted from his main point, viz that no one had elected Van Rompuy.
Still, I’d be interested to know what criteria define his offence as being in a different category from all the others I have cited. Is it that you can be rude about Euro-sceptics, but not Euro-integrationists?
