Tory MEP Roger Helmer has inadvertently publicised a seminar titled "Fighting for a financial transaction tax".
Tory MEP Roger Helmer has inadvertently publicised a seminar titled “Fighting for a financial transaction tax” – replying all to the invite that was sent to most of the European Parliament, ensuring all MEPs and researchers were reminded of the event.
In 36-point text, italicised, bold and IN CAPITALS, Helmer screamed:
“Financial
Transaction Tax
NEVER!”

It is not the first time an email espousing a hard-right cause has gone out in the name of a Tory MEP to the whole of the European Parliament. In December, Left Foot Forward revealed an email from Nirj Deva’s account was sent to all MEPs and researchers containing a propaganda video which claimed:
“There is no such thing as man-made global warming.”
To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.

Not inadvertent at all. They already knew about the seminar. I was making a point about the tax. Your posting is really rather silly.
