Verdun Undone

Twice.

But if there is to be a Treaty of Reunion between France and Germany, perhaps to be signed at Aachen Cathedral on 28th January, Beatus Carolus Magnus in both countries, then why need that concern those of us outside the reborn Carolingia? What has it to do with the EU, as such? Let them get on with it. If it ever poses a threat to us, then that would be a different matter. But it does not at the moment.

As for David Cameron and his schemes to secure EU treaty changes "in Britain's interests" as the price of his unnecessary blessing for this project, how does he define those interests? The removal of employment protections which, I agree, ought really to be enacted by and through the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and would be if there were a proper Labour Party, in which case they would be a lot more extensive than the EU would ever countenance. And the continued existence and privileges of the separate state that he really serves, a mile-square Medieval oligarchy where the United Kingdom ought to be, which the Queen may not enter without special permission, where Wall Street has its tax haven, and where the writ of Parliament does not run, thereby denying the British inhabitants parliamentary as well as municipal democracy.
