Frying Pan To Fire

So sacked Tory MEP Edward MacMillan-Scott is joining the Liberal Democrats. In his resignation letter (can you resign after you have been sacked?) to David Cameron he says:

You continue to refuse to accept that Michał Kamiński, who now leads the ECR and against whom I stood and won re-election as vice-president of the European parliament last July, has had "antisemitic, homophobic and racist links". You say that you are against extremism at home, yet you propitiate it abroad.

Without going over the accusations against Kaminsky yet again, I'll just say if you are going to pretend to be outraged over antisemitism it would be best not to join the Lib Dems. This is a party whose leader has repeatedly praised Jenny Tonge and allowed her to keep the party whip even after she demanded an investigation into whether Israeli agents went to Haiti to harvest the organs of Haitian earthquake survivors.
