Your information is out of date.

Neil Kinnock ceased to be an EU Commissioner 12 years ago.

Glenys Kinnock has not been an MEP since 2009.

Of course UKIP won the European elections and has 24 snouts in the trough.

Typical FB bowlorks.

Both were un-elected members and made a fortune out of it! All of the UKIP members are constantly campaigning for us to get out of Europe and put them out of a job!

A bit out of date !!!!!!!!

// Both were un-elected members and made a fortune out of it! //

Glenys Kinnock was elected as an MEP 4 times from 1994-2009.

EU Commisioners are nominated by the elected UK Government. We get nominate 2 Commissioners, and one is usually a Conservative, and one from Labour. The EU President will then assign them a job, similar to a PM handing out cabinet posts.

Some more research might be needed by Mark Robbo.

By the way - who is Mark Robbo anyway, and are we now using Facebook as a source of stories on the News section of the AnswerBank?

You forgot the sprog. Worked for the EU, courtesy of his Dad, married a former PM of Denmark and now sits in the Commons for a safe Welsh Labour seat.

They still get whopping great pensions from EU which they would lose if they spoke out against it.

[Gromit]

Stephen Kinnock married in 1996. His wife became Prime Minister in 2011-15.

Baza,
Their pensions could not be taken away for criticising the EU. They have a contract and a legal entitlement. I don't see Farage being stymied through the threat to his pension.

Gromit said it all here....some research before posting might have helped St Peter and Mark Robbo !

[mikey4444]

Baza....the same pensions that will be paid to the UKIP Members I presume ?
