GRAHAM WATSON MEP, THE KNIGHT OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
Reacting to today's Queen's Birthday Honours list, in which Liberal Democrat MEP, Graham Watson, was knighted, William, Earl of Dartmouth MEP, (UKIP, South West), made the following statement:
"The award of a knighthood to Graham Watson, the sponsor of the European Arrest Warrant, serves to underline all that is wrong with the honours system, in respect of establishment politics".
"For such a person, who is primarily responsible for countless sleepless nights, suffered by British subjects in foreign prison cells, and their relatives, such a reward is, in my humble opinion, an affront."
"Furthermore, I find it hypocritical that Sir Graham, as he now is, an avowed anti-monarchist, and leading light in the campaign pressure group Republic, should accept this award in, what is, afterall, Her Majesty's Birthday Honours list." ENDS
