Now here's a turn up for the books.

In my five minutes of fame on Sky TV in the run up to the election I challenged Peter Hain to tell me why his party rejoiced at the fact that 491 MILLION people between the ages of 16 and 65 in 27 countries were free to wander in and out of this country as they pleased.

He, as usual, totally avoided the issue and went off to say how wonderful his party and their policies were and how stupid the country would be to remove them from office.

So imagine my surprise when ED BALLS, in a blatant attempt to find something different to say in support of his leadership campaign so as to stand out from the Jedward Clones and That Bloody Woman, pronounces that it is time to stop the unfettered flow of unskilled EU27 workers into Britain.

Read about his idea to rewrite the Maastricht and Lisbon treaties to "prevent untold damage to constituencies like his" here 

You bloody hypocrite, Balls.
