Get your facts straight

The Times reports :

As part of its campaign to improve flagging confidence in the European Union, it has set up a website giving detailed rebuttal of stories that it complains leaves readers with a “picture of the EU as a bunch of mad “eurocrats”.

I would also welcome a similar easy to read web site that highlights EU regulation for which the British and the British Government have not identified a need. Something called "Stuff that costs us time and money that we could quite easily do without".

The EUREALIST has noticed the EU's anti-mad eurocrat list.

You know, I can't help thinking that there is potential for this to go badly for the EU. I mean, can we now assume that anything that is not on its rebuttal list is endorsed as the truth by the EU? Hmmm, I don't know about that but someone somewhere must surely come up with something embarrassingly contrary, hosted at its own nice URL (the mind boggles with all the possible domain names).

As EU-Serf says in the comments on the post by the EUREALIST:

Like you say, they want to focus on Euromyths and keep the discussion away from real issues. We can not let them get away with this.

Future fun to be had by all.
