Brexit campaigners make the argument that the European Union just isn’t working when it comes to Britain’s interests. While some are yet to be convinced, it’s safe to say that some parts of the EU parliament just don’t work full stop.
Last night Paul Brannen, the Labour MEP, found himself stuck in a lift in parliament, in Brussels. When door of the lift opened, a steel wall appeared. After waiting for 20 minutes, Brannen decided the only thing to do was to film himself in case he didn’t made it out of the lift alive:
‘I’m somewhere between the 13th floor of parliament and the 3rd floor of parliament, and I’ve been here for about 20 minutes and they’re currently trying to get me out.
It’s slightly disconcerting truth be told, because the lift is now rattling up and down a bit and there was quite a bit of dust when we came to a sudden stop. When I say ‘we’, I’m actually the only person in the lift.’
Brannen then goes on to give what could be his last testimony:
‘This could well be my last testimony, but thoroughly enjoyed being an MEP, and it’s been great. Love to the family, and so on.’
Mr S is pleased to report that Brannen is now safely out of the lift and on a plane back to Britain.
