Jean-Claude Juncker to Nigel Farage: "Why are you here?"
Why are you here? asked EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. There is no doubt Mr Farage was here to savour his moment of glory.
He pointed out to the assembled MEPs that he had first arrived 17 years ago when he told them he wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain to leave the EU.
They laughed at him then but they certainly werent laughing now.
His other purpose was to urge that there should be a pragmatic, sensible, grown-up, realistic approach to a British-EU trade deal which would be in everyones interests.
Whats more it was important that Article 50, which triggers the process of formal exit, should be implemented as soon as possible.
Any unnecessary delay would be a cause of additional uncertainty. He is right.
To delay Article 50 while the Conservatives put a new prime minister in place may suit David Cameron who can effectively pass the buck but it is not in the best interests of the country.
Delay would allow Remainers to look for ways to hold a second referendum or seek deals which would compromise Brexit.
There are undoubtedly trade-offs to be done but let us leave Brussels in no doubt that Britain is definitely standing by the results of the referendum.
Welcome all criminalsHow was Latvian murderer Arnis Zalkalns allowed to enter Britain where he sexually assaulted and killed 14-year-old Alice Gross in August 2014 before hanging himself?
The inquest now underway into Alices death has heard that foreign criminals entering the UK were not routinely checked by the police.
This admission was made by Detective Superintendent Mick Forteath even though figures show that at least 200 foreigners were being arrested every day in London alone.
This, said Alices mother Rosalind Hodgkiss, has destroyed much of our faith in our countrys ability to protect its citizens.
The ease with which undesirable European nationals have entered Britain is a scandal. Less open borders would mean more rigorous checks.
Its as simple as that.
Had the monster Zalkalns been kicked out as he tried to get into the UK, Alice Gross would still be alive today.
