OFF WITH THEIR HEADS..
Yes, the Alice in Wonderland madcap world of the European Union is at it again, proving once more that it`s not just hares that go mad in March.
In the last few days we`ve learned that in addition to the 1,400 `communications officers` already employed by Brussels, the EU is now paying £8.5million on `consultants` to improve the image of the EU to the people of Europe.
Now they are meddling in things like insurance premiums and pensions, all in the name of human rights and equality. It has also emerged that the new diplomatic corps headed by Baroness Ashton will spend £32.8m on bullet-proof limousines for some of its officials, 46 of whom will enjoy postings in the paradise island of Barbados and even the tiny Pacific island of Vanuatu, which has a population of just 230,000, will have six EU diplomats. The cost covers the purchase and maintenance of the 150 vehicles for four years with 30 cars being sent to missions in each of five regions around the world, including capitals where there is little or no terrorist threat.
Next, the EU are claiming that the multi-award winning film, The King`s Speech, is actually a European film, part funded by the EU. The King’s Speech is not a “European” film, and certainly does not owe its success in any way to unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats sitting in Brussels, with a penchant for spending taxpayers’ money on printing ridiculous propaganda. The film did not, of course, receive a single Euro from Brussels in production funds. It is an entirely British-made and funded film, receiving funds from the Aegis Film Fund, a consortium of private investors, and from the UK Film Council.
In regard to more weighty matters, it is truly a comfort to learn today that the EU is going to have a meeting on 11th March - just 10 days away - to begin discussing its response to the situation in Libya and other parts of the Middle East where revolution is in the air. Of course, it may be all too late by 11th March and only serves to illustrate once again the remoteness from reality, the self-serving insularity and the institutionalised ineptitude that the EU has become.
Time we had a revolution of our own which would save us all a huge amount of money and restore our democratic heritage by saying good riddance to the EU and all who sail in her. Off with their heads!
