Open Europe

In the Open Europe press summary today are a couple of interesting statements which deserve comment.

Firstly Graham Watson, leader of the Liberal Democrat MEPs in the European Parliament, states that Ireland should be asked to leave the EU if they vote NO for a second time.

Oh that we could be asked for a first time!

In the same paper it is noted that the Commission has given the go-ahead for a major face-lift of Brussels European quarter, with work due to start in 2011.

Why wait till 2011 to build a pig sty with a load of troughs? We have a ready-made one here you can have - its called Westminster! After all, you run our bloody country - you may as well come and use it!
