I Love This Country, But The Union

The First Job Of The Historian And Of The Journalist Is To Find Facts. Not The Only Job, Perhaps Not The Most Important, But The First. Facts Are The Cobblestones From Which We Build Roads Of Analysis, Mosaic Tiles That We Fit Together To Compose Pictures Of Past And Present. There Will Be Disagreement About Where The Road Leads And What Reality Or Truth Is Revealed By The Mosaic Picture. The Facts Themselves Must Be Checked Against All The Available Evidence. But Some Are Round And Hard--and The Most Powerful Leaders In The World Can Trip Over Them. So Can Writers, Dissidents And Saints.

The Eurozone Has Clearly Gone Spectacularly Wrong, Pulling Down All The Continental Economies.

Every Step That Produces A Single Job For A Currently Unemployed European Should Be Taken. Every Centimetre Of Red Tape That Puts Someone Out Of Work Must Be Torn Up.

The Whole Project Of European Union Is One In Deep Trouble.

Starting From The Ruins Of The Second World War, We - All Europeans Said, After Centuries Of Fighting Each Other, We're Going To Build Permanent Arrangements In Which Peace Between European Countries Is Secured, Freedom Is Secured, And Growing Prosperity. And That's What We Have Done Over The Last 70 Years.
