What a neat and economical lesson in how you tackle the very difficult, intricate, delicate - and bloody frustrating - issues concerning the EU poking its long, ugly and bossy nose into anything it gets a sniff of, i.e. on an essential issue that has been long-forgotten on the continent: SOVEREIGNITY. Keep at it, Mr Cameron!
And if the UK decides to leave the 'greatest organisation in the history of the Universe that has brought peace, prosperity, the common currency and harmonious cooperation - especially fiscal - to the whole of Milky Way'** - well, good riddance! (I mean - the Brits saying this; but then they would, wouldn't they***?
*actually: this is how you say it; the Tories have been saying great things on this subject for a while now... well, since a certain speech at Brugge by a certain lady (with a handbag)
**as I'm sure one of the treaties puts it; and if not that, then definitely one of the booklets or leaflets distributed by their propaganda bureaux paid for by 'EU citizens', 60% of whom are - and bloody rightly so! - beginning to go sceptical about the whole bloody idea#.
***and they'd be bloody right!!
PS You know what? I thought my EU-realism has reached its full potential back in Poland; by Jove! how wrong was I! Well, I've just realised - and got scared - that EU-wise, I feel so good & safe## here, across the Channel, that I nearly wish the bloody organisation to go on...
#just in case you wanted to look at the figures straight from the horse's mouth (not that I trust the horse, or the rider - or however the metaphor€ could be dragged, by the tail###, on...
## & which is bloody wrong!
### excuse me, it's late - and, after all, I'm part of the EU, so I can publish rubbish, can't I?####
#### or never mind...
€ actually, it's not a metaphor, is it? It must be one of those quirky, insular British idioms.
