Follow the money

There has been another robbery in the European Parliament, the third in recent times. The robbers are not after ideas – the Parliament has only one: further integration while paying themselves as much as possible – but cash.


I am reminded of the American bank robber Willie Sutton, who, when asked why he robbed banks, is supposed to have replied: ‘that’s where the money is’.
