Lib Dem MEP Graham Watson has been fighting Britain’s corner in the European Parliament.

Lib Dem MEP Graham Watson has been fighting Britain’s corner in the European Parliament.

The mask carefully crafted by David Cameron to disguise the "nasty" Tories is falling to pieces in Europe.

The Conservatives have joined a small fringe group of extremists in the European Parliament. These people oppose equal rights and have been linked to the far right, fascist groups.

In the European Parliament, Tory MEPs have attacked the NHS, supported homophobes in Europe and denied the existence of climate change.

They also opposed attempts to close tax havens for the rich that cost Britain billions of pounds.

Local Lib Dem MEP Graham Watson said;

"This is the true face of the Conservative Party. We must make sure that these people don't get hold of Westminster.

"The Lib Dems have a record of action on the economy, the environment and equal rights. Only people like Michael Popham can deliver the change that Britain needs."
