Ann Widdecombe compared being in the EU to slavery and these 8 takedowns were brutal

Over the past week or so, we’ve seen the entire cohort of Brexit Party MEPs turn their backs during the EU anthem, as well as Lib Dem MEPs wearing Bollocks to Brexit T-shirts in the European Parliament. Some other Brexit MEPs complained about *checks notes* having to catch trains and being given a work laptop.

If we thought that must surely be as much embarrassment as the UK would have to endure in a week, we were sadly mistaken.

Yes, that’s newly elected Brexit Party MEP, Ann Widdecombe comparing being a member of the European Union with slavery.

This is how people reacted – brace yourselves.
