Today is Europe Day. Anyone knew that? Good.
It is the anniversary of The Schumann Declaration of 1950 which Euro-loonies regard as the symbolic beginning of their undemocratic state.
In fact we now know that Schumann had nothing to do with it. It was written by Jean Monnet, a man who had advocated a supranational power even during the First World War, who handed it to Schumann as he took the train to his country estate for the weekend, and it came back signed on the Monday. We can't even be certain he read it.
Happy Birthday Europe...er..Robert...er Jean. God help the lot of us.
