non partisan comment on the European Union and Westminster politics

 

Citizens of the EU

“The citizens of Europe rightly expect the EU … to take a more effective, joint approach to cross-border problems such as illegal migration and trafficking in and smuggling of human beings, as well as to terrorism and organised crime”.
Speaking to MEPs in Strasbourg on Wednesday (17 November), Jan-Peter Balkenende said the events in the Netherlands “show that there is tension in our society” adding, “we have to learn from one another in the integration of minorities”.

EU policy in the area of justice, security and freedom is of “direct social relevance”, said the Prime Minister, who currently heads the EU.

Well Mr Jan-Peter Balkenende had better remember before he starts making wide sweeping statements surmising what EU Citizens do or do not want, that nobody has asked them, nobody asked them if they even wanted to become citizens of the EU in the first place. Perhaps the citizens would the chance to air their views instead of being told what those view are, perhaps the citizens would like to tell the Dutch Prime Minister that the citizens of Britain do not want the Dutch Prime Minister to interfere in the lives of the British citizens, perhaps the British citizens would like to tell the Dutch Prime Minister to go home and sort out the trouble he has in his country before suggesting sharing those troubles with the rest us. All speculative of course, but then so is the idea that the EU citizens expect anything from the EU. This is going to be an increasingly voiced reason by the undemocratic Europhiles for doing what ever it may be they want to do, but it is best we all remember they only know what they want, and more to the point they do not care what we want.
