Anything for the project

Can you believe this?

Welcoming the result of the European constitution referendum in Luxembourg yesterday, European Parliament president Josep Borrell of Spain jumped onto the bandwagon by saying “the people of Luxembourg had realised the need for "more of Europe to better guarantee the safety of Europeans".” And he hoped that the “"appalling" attacks in London would "have a positive political effect in making Europeans realise the importance of the European project to better guarantee their safety".

Better guarantee our safety? Who the hell does this idiot think he is? More to the point, who the hell does he think we are?

Here are a few things that I think have a better chance of improving our safety than the self loving European Project and its verbal masturbators:

1. Our police service.
2. Our security services.
3. Our doctors and nurses.
4. The British public.
5. Our soldiers.
6. Our silent assassins.
7. Our bus drivers.
8. Our train drivers.
9. Our flight crews.
10. Our tea ladies.
11. Our cats and dogs.
12. Those small crumbs you find at the bottom of cheesy wotsit packets.

Go here and read (via the BBC) and note the total absence of requests for help and for safety tips from the project.
