A new high speed rail link will now shuttle our MEPs between parliaments. Because the EU has parliaments in both Brussels and Strasbourg, and they are used on a alternating monthly basis, this 187mph train will carry our 785 MEP guardians plus hundreds of aides and officials between the two cities in luxury. The chartered train will cut two hours off the normal service and cost us taxpayers £158,000 per trip.
Think of the cost and absurdity of having two parliaments in the first place let alone the cost of ferrying everyone between the two.
Great innit? Who got us into this mess?
