One person worth looking at is a Howard Dawber a Labour Party member who has tried to get and is still trying a Labour seat in either Parliament or the GLA. He is a director of Canary Wharf and several other companies that operate out of the thirtieth floor of Canada Tower and is one of the organisers of the arms fair. Maybe have a word with him.

This is pure twaddle.

The EU is nothing more than the sum of its parts. And the majority of its parts are Right Wing governments. This is why the EU green-lighted billions in subsidies to the fossil fuel and nuclear industries. And this is why the EU Commission and European Court of Justice always enforce EU law in a way that gives primacy to the neoliberal form of extreme capitalism.
