Former Tory MEP Anne Widdecome, a new Brexit Party MEP, is ridiculed for a maiden speech in Brussels in which she claimed Britain was 'oppressed.'
New Brexit Party MEP Anne Widdecombe compares EU membership to slavery and claims British people are"oppressed." "There is a pattern consistent throughout history of oppressed people turning on the oppressors: slaves against their owners, the peasantry against their feudal barons," Widdecombe said on Thursday. The former Conservative minister made the comparison in her maiden speech in Strasbourg's European Parliament. MPs and MEPs strongly condemned Widdecombe.
