Someone has a sense of Humour

In Parliament Magazine, MEP Struan Stevenson has a great piece, its worth reading the whole thing. My favourites included these: Speaking of Brugel’s paintings:

Some of the sharper elected members may have noticed a remarkable similarity between that artist’s striking picture of the tower of Babel and the tower of our own parliament in Strasbourg.

On the subject of the Lisbon agenda:

On the contrary, the majority of MEPs prefer to indulge in their favourite pastime of burdening the EU economy with enough red tape to wrap a million Christmas parcels.

And concerning the acquis communautaire:

Every one of which has to be obeyed to the letter of the law, by everyone except the French.

I shall have to remember that the official mouthpiece of the Strasbourg Cesspit is allowed to have a sense of humour.
