I recall that when Maggie T sent an "envoy" to Brussels to fight our corner, they all went native. The late Mr Britten and the ubiquitous Mr Patten are two of that genre who come to mind. There were most likely others, although Mr Kinnock did ask some awkward questions until he was taken to one side and told to shut up if he wanted to qualify for his pension. His good lady just went along too, to stop him falling into the surf again at Blankenberge.
