The biter bit

This is simply glorious:

Roger Helmer, the Conservative Euro-MP for the East Midlands, obtained the funds from the parliament's information budget to print car bumper stickers saying: ''Love Europe. Hate the EU'' next to a picture of a crossed-out EU flag.

...Parliamentary officials tried to stop Mr Helmer gaining access to the budget but gave in after he argued that the words on the sticker were an accurate description of his political views. All Euro-MPs have the right to funds to get their message across.
