European Union Day

Who knew today was Europe Day? I only know because of the stories over the weekend that Cameron, Hague and Osborne were refusing to fly the EU rag today on their respective government buildings whereas that uncut Cable stated he would be flying it over his ministry building. No flag should fly from any government building other than the Union Jack. The EU is not a country - yet - and despite the fact that most of our laws to our shame emanate from that nasty fascist undemocratic institution we should fight tooth and nail against the very idea that it is a state. We should remove the shameful reference to the EU that defaces our passports and refuse to buy number plates for our cars that show the EU star circle. We should paint over the circle wherever it appears. Yesterday was the anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in Western Europe although in view of the time difference between Eastern and Western Europe Victory in Europe is celebrated in Russia today. In light of the similarity in the way the EU and Russia are run it is perhaps appropriate that the completely irrelevant EU day is held on the 9th May.
