Godfrey Bloom, Nazi Allusions in EU Parliament
A major disruption occurred in the European Parliament when MEP Godfrey Bloom shouted the Nazi slogan "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" at German MEP Martin Schulz. The incident caused a "fracas" in the chamber, leading President Jerzy Buzek to demand an official apology. The hosts discuss the live translation difficulties and the irony of the EU's rigid rulebook being used to police speech during a heated debate.
