MEPs’ Interrail proposal would come at huge cost

From this article comes the following paragraphs; Brexit has shaken the foundations of the European Union. Where it has been growing and centralising relentlessly for decades, for the first time it must contend with a nation leaving. This grave reversal has motivated the architects of a federal Europe not to re-think, but to double-down on their own propaganda. For a long time the EU has given…

EU Desperate For New Friends

With the UK getting ready to break away the EU is desperate to show its Global importance, and so this week they have been discussing and championing a new “window of opportunity” with . . . Cuba. Yep, you read that right – Cuba. Why? Well there are two articles here and here that discuss some of the perceived merits, but buried in the text are a couple of interesting paragraphs that give pretty…

Cheese Up Your Life

The statements from these Europhile MEPs are ridiculous, contradictory and massively hypocritical. In fact so many of the comments are…

Seven years and they still can’t get it right

CETA the EU’s flagship transatlantic trade deal with Canada is due to come into effect in the next few months. Having taken 7 years to agree – and after nearly being scuppered at the 11th hour by the Belgian region of Wallonia it looks like all systems are finally go according to this article. But as usual with the EU, all is not as it seems. EU bureaucrats try and paint a rosy picture; “This is…
