Edward McMillan-Scott, MEP.
Posted by Sitemaster on July 10, 2007
From his own website:
Edward McMillan-Scott was first elected as an MEP for Yorkshire, UK in 1984.
He was elected a Vice-President of the European Parliament in 2004 and again in 2007. His responsibilities are relations with the Arab world and with national parliaments across Europe and beyond.
From 1997 – 2001 he was Leader of the Conservatives in the European Parliament.After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he founded the “European Democracy Initiative”. This programme now spends £100M each year developing democracy and civil society worldwide, but especially in the ex-Soviet bloc and Islamic world.
He is the longest-serving member of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee.
He chaired the largest-ever European Parliament election observer missions, 30 MEPs, for the Palestinian presidential and parliamentary elections in 2005 and 2006.
He is a Patron of the BBC World Service Trust, a Member of Court, York University and Vice President of the Local Government Association among other appointments.
All well and good.
But what does he mean by his comment describing BBC reporter Alan Johnston’s release as:
“An enduring tribute to the sweetness of freedom, denied to his captors and the people of Gaza.”
??
And this is one of those politicians that is supposed to be representing us? Johnston’s kidnappers are still walking freely about on the streets of Gaza and probably planning the next event. One can only assume that dear Edward intends to be the next MEP for Palestine, on the Hamas ticket. Perhaps he knows something we don’t. Which would explain the spending of a large portion of £100 million annually in the islamic world.
Canvassing money?

There is a newsletter available for everyone wishing to follow developments concerning the 9/11 Demonstration in Brussels.
The British security agency, the reknowned and revered MI5, has a webside devoted to citizens that may have information regarding terrorists and terrorism in the UK.
Perhaps someone should tip them off, that if they want to really counter terrorism in the UK, they could start by looking a little closer at the muslim community?
