Builder's Outfits

The European Parliament is now meeting in Brussels, which many MEPs are happy about. Unfortunately, also the British Eurosceptic MEPs, who seem to have taken yet another opportunity to put on a silly show.

"This week's session has now proved that Brussels can be the real home of the European Parliament," Nigel Farage, leader of the Eurosceptic United Kingdom Independence Party told Reuters.

"We believe the tax payer has already saved 20 million euros in this week alone, which is marvellous news for everybody."

On Tuesday, lawmakers opposed to Strasbourg celebrated by dressing in builder's outfits, while others distributed free cake in the chamber in Brussels.

You can't just ask these people to lay low for a few days, can you?

The session on the 22nd - when by the way we should get the legally meaningless vote on Marianne Mikko's anti-blogging report - looks like it will also be held in Brussels.
