Unionist Unpleasantness

One of the uppity Euro-wogs has had the temerity to lecture Britain's Head Boy on what he can and cannot do. Britain's Head Boy is due in Brussels in three weeks to do a bit of posturing in front of the European council president and some other foreigners, and remind them who won the war. The leader of the European bloc of Christian Democrats, which Daveybloke's Conservative Party left some years ago in order to join a gaggle of far-right cranks and chancers, has been so ill-mannered as to point out that those who do not wish to abide by a club's charter don't usually get a voice in what the club members will do. Being a Teutonic pedant, he even went so far as to point out that the EU's aspiration to "ever closer union" - a favourite squealing-point for the Farage Falange and others who aspire to North Korea status - refers to a "union of peoples", not of states or institutions. In other words, it refers to much the same sort of principle as Britain's Head Boy was so fond of evoking until a few minutes after the results of the Scottish independence referendum came in.
