No thanks to UKIP!

Self-inflicted wounds of the EU in 2003

The Washington Times publishes this fitting summary of the EU's past year by Barry Renfrew of the Associated PressSquabble-riven EU limps through '03 Some high (low?) -lights:-

angry governments squabbled over Iraq - The European Union split - The crisis over Iraq has left deep scars - there was no disguising the bitterness that lingered - the move to unite Europe continued amid the usual mix of idealism, recrimination and fudging - Efforts this month to frame a European constitution foundered - Europe dithered on how to handle its limping economy and high unemployment. - France and Germany effectively wrecked an agreement on limiting government spending - European business is weighed down by bureaucracy and high taxes - stabbing murder of Sweden's foreign minister as she shopped - the old scourge of anti-Semitism.

While UKIP has shown every sign of being bent on self-destruction in the past year, happily the organisation it exists to resist seems intent upon going the same way.

If reading from the UK, try this more cheery item from the same paper that reports Britain is now the wealthiest large country in the EU, no thanks to that latter organisation needless to report. Read from this link
