That's got to be a pretty cushy job hasn't it?

Depends if you do your job. If you do you’re on the go from about 7am for your first breakfast meeting, through to about 11pm or later when you’re last dinner meeting finishes. With all the Parliamentary and committee stuff in between. And then bouncing bacwards and forward to Brussels or Strasbourg every week and a constituency day, normally on a Friday. It’s pretty intense, but you’re looked after well and wined and dined. Or you could be like Nigel and barely contribute.

Fake news! Nigel once attended a fisheries policy meeting. I think.

Ha. He may have put in a brief appearance once, as long as he could get a few video shoots out of it.

I’ve had a few MEPs host projects i’ve been involved in at the Parliament. They seem to be running round a lot and getting their time isn’t always easy. The job seems pretty varied and interesting, but Ivdoubt I could handle the continual hospitality. But that’s how a lot of business seems to get done. Instead of golf courses, they have little restaurants around Place du Luxembourg.

With one of the largest parties Farage could ask for (and be given) a place on one of their versions of what we call a select committee.
However, he seems to want to be involved in the UK negotiations for a no-deal Brexit which doesn't require any negotiations.
But Hey Ho, Nigel never was a member of the sensible party.

He was on, but rarely if ever attended, the Fisheries Committee.

The Germans think he's more of a scheiß rührer.
Farage said that his party would be awkward towards the EU.
Awkwardness can be tolerated but disruption will not be.
He is determined to get the EU to hate the UK as much as he hates the people who pay his MEP salary.
He might think he's a big fish in the UK but he's out of his depth in the EU. There's just too many against him and what he stands for.

Yes. During his stint as UK representative on Fisheries Committee he turned up for one meeting. He failed to turn up for 41 meetings.

But it must be fairly cushy. We were told all the decisions are all made by unelected bureaucrats so what is there for the MEPs to do beside sit around and claim expenses?

Reminds me of the UNICEF workers in Laos. They eat in all the tops restaurants, live in big houses, send their kids to International schools and drive very big Toyota SUV's. This all comes from businesses and tax paying civilians who donate money thinking it's going to a good cause.
