Former Forest spokesman Brian Monteith who is now a Brexit party MEP sent me this photo last week.
It features Brian and his Brexit party colleague Claire Fox enjoying what Brian calls a ‘legal puff inside the Strasbourg Parliament building - in one of the many smoking booths!!!!!’
As Claire revealed when she spoke at Forest’s 40th anniversary dinner at Boisdale last month, smoking rooms are one of many benefits MEPs enjoy in Strasbourg and Brussels.
Isn’t it typical, though, that MEPs and staff working in the European Parliament are allowed them while the overwhelming majority of smokers in EU member states have to light up outside, whatever the weather.
As ever it’s one law for the ruling elite, another for the rest of us.
Brian meanwhile has promised to send more photos of MEPs behaving ‘badly’. Watch this space.
