It’s not a national government – not, at least, in sense of a government that represents the nation. The coalition of the two big Greek parties has been formed for the sole purpose of pursuing an agenda that the nation rejects, viz. the Brussels-mandated loans-for-austerity programme. What’s more, the nation is right to reject it. [...]

We island people, says Nicolas Sarkozy, can't understand the subtleties of European integration. He's right. I am blogging from the most isolated part of my constituency, the Isle of Wight. (Isolated, that is, in the literal sense. As far as Vectensians are concerned, obviously, it's the mainland that's isolated.) Sure enough, local people are quite [...]
Why should we want to? Why, at a time of austerity at home, should we aim to spend billions of pounds to support a currency which we didn't join? Already, Britain is on the hook for £12.5 billion in the eurozone bailouts – a sum equivalent to £500 for every household in the land. Now, [...]
Inevitably, poor George Papandreou capitulated to the EU's hideous strength . The moment when it happened at the Cannes summit is recorded in this image.
There were a few empty seats in the FH Brussels office back at the beginning of October as many of our healthcare team members made the trek to a very far-away place. Clock up an 8 hour journey involving 2 flights and one shuttle bus journey, and you get to the town of Bad Hofgastein [...]
Six months ago, the Church of England was forced to sell one of its treasures: a set of 13 paintings by Francisco de Zurburán depicting Jacob and his sons. They were bought for £15 million by an evangelical Christian called Jonathan Ruffer, who promptly donated them back to the church (see here). Jesus had some [...]

I wish I could convey the sheer writhing horror that George Papanderou's referendum proposal has provoked in Brussels. Eurocrats instinctively dislike referendums. They feel that their work is too important and complicated to be vulnerable to the prejudices of hoi polloi (or, to be truly pretentious about it, vulnerable to the των πολλων prejudices – for [...]
How did so many clever people get it so wrong? The flaws in the euro were visible from the start, and were widely pointed out. Yet in every national parliament, in every academic faculty, in every central bank, in almost every newspaper editorial meeting, there was a collective suspension of disbelief. If you listen carefully [...]
As far as the Deputy PM is concerned, all is well in the EU. 'From the economy, to climate change, to defence and crime, co-operation between European countries has delivered untold benefits for every single person in the UK.' Slathering on the clichés, he goes on, in the hectoring tone that Europhiles so often take, 'It [...]
