Undiplomatic Language

In a further symptom of how far adrift from the mainland the Continent has become, the beastly Euro-wogs appear to have forgotten who won yet another war. Not only have they conspired with some uppity purveyors of black ingratitude to produce a declaration using the Argentine words for the Falkland Islands, but their travesty of a text gave the enemy name priority over the real one. It might almost be thought that the Strasbrussels dictatorship had some sort of point to make about the idiocy of a small archipelago pretending to have closer ties with a country on the other side of the world than with its immediate neighbours on the same lump of continental shelf. As one would expect, the blasphemy elicited squeals of outrage from Global Britain: "The UK is not part of the EU. They are upset by the use of the word Malvinas," an unelected bureaucrat eurosplained with galling realism. "If they were in the EU perhaps they would have pushed back against it." Somehow, goodness knows how, the legitimate sovereignty of the master race over both Europe and the Caribbean seems still to be eluding the lesser breeds on both sides of the Atlantic.
