Between the Blairites and the BNP
Our new MEP Diane Dodds has now got her feet under her desk in the European parliament. Today she took an early crack at the government, criticising Baroness Kinnock for naming Tony Blair as the likely UK candidate for EU President and thereby treating the Irish referendum in October as a "fait accompli". The DUP news release was headlined "No need for any EU President, let alone an EU President Blair", although disappointingly she didn't list all the reasons why Tony shouldn't get the job.
Earlier this week, the Guardian reported Mrs Dodds' apparent at being seated next to the BNP's Andrew Brons. She is reported to have abandoned her seat in protest. Presumably no handshake took place.
With the BNP on one side and the Blairite Eurocrats on the other where is a new DUP MEP to turn to? Let's hope she doesn't rush into the Ladies and bump into Bairbre De Brun.
