Roger Barton (born 6 January 1945) is a British engineer and politician who served for ten years as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP).
After losing his seat in the European Parliament, he set up an organisation that offers llama trekking to young people in the city.
He led the signatories of a letter calling for support for a Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament rally,[7] and signed an advertisement opposing changes to Clause IV when Tony Blair proposed to drop it.
[8] Barton opposed a proposal from German Commissioner Martin Bangemann to restrict the sale of superbikes, and persuaded the European Parliament to vote against it.
Barton has noted that although llamas are famous for spitting as a sign of aggression, there was only one occasion when he had intervened in a fight between them that he had been spat at.
