LIKE PEAS IN A POD.

One thing is for sure, MEP Daniel Hannan's views on Brussels are normally close to those of the author's. In today's Sunday press, he expounds on the juggernaut creep of the EU, taking over the roll of foreign policy, with the extortionate costs involved; Embassies all around the world, plus legions of staff (probably over staffing would be nearer the mark). All this is taking place through the auspices of the unchallenged Quango Queen, Baroness Ashton. In the past, we would show a kind of reverence to someone holding a senior position. In Europe however, these folk are unelected, politically suitable puppets, having squirmed up the greasy commissions pole, with a lot of assistance from like minded colleagues; so dim that their staff need torches to see where the policies lead, but all spending 'shed loads' of taxpayer GB's cash.

At least DH is making the point that we should be stamping hard on the toes of the Commission in Brussels. Most folk completely ignored the warnings of that other Baroness, Thatcher, of many years ago. At least we have the likes of Hannan, Farage and my own MEP Roger Helmer (the latter is aware of my concerns), making appropriate noises.


WE HAVE TO WAKE UP SOON.
