IN a recent edition of the Globe, Paul Nuttall complains bitterly that the recent vote on the EU withdrawal bill was a disaster because it mean that the Bill would now have to be approved by a statute passed by parliament.

But surely this is what it is all about Paul, "bringing back power to the UK" which must surely include "our" parliament.

Mr Nuttall then goes on to point out that the referendum was democratically "won" by a small majority and therefore anything that could conceivably undermine this position would be undemocratic.

But how democratic was this vote?

First, it was won on an anti-immigration platform, then, to an extent, by falsely claiming that leaving the EU would enable £250m a week to be channelled to the NHS.

The economic damage already inflicted on the UK economy by all the complications and uncertainty is already costing a great deal more than this per week.

The complexities of the still unresolved Irish border situation was not mentions and above all no mention at all was made about the astronomical cost of separating from the EU.

And a large proportion of the divorce costs are to meet the UK's EU pension obligations including those of Nigel Farage and Paul Nuttall who spent most of their time at the EU pushing Ukip policies rather than UK policies.

Nevertheless, we now understand that Mr Farage intends to draw his full EU pension.

Does Paul Nuttall intend to do the same I wonder?
