Sleep Walking to Disaster

If you are a citizen of the UK, give yourself a slap on the wrist. You are ignorant!

Fifty percent of Britons have never heard of the new EU charter which was signed with great ceremony last year.

Those continental types, sniggering at the uneducated Anglo Saxons, don’t be so cocky, you’re not much better.

A new poll has shown that a high percentage of EU citizens feel they know little about its content and a third are completely unaware of the document.

So what is the answer?

Socialists MEPs have called for an information campaign across Europe on the back of these results.

We are trying, there is more of us every week it seems but I’m not sure whether it will be enough. We could try the Spanish approach of giving everyone propaganda in their daily diet of Big Brother. Alternatively all you fat lazy MEP’s could launch Blogs of your own, like the EC’s very own Margot. Or at least get a member of your staff to do so. Perhaps have a few more parties to celebrate it? One in every city across the continent should do it.
