How lame is this?

If this is the sales pitch for a federal EU, what on earth would the reality be like? The video is every bit as lame as their case. It is so cringe worthy that it takes a strong will to see it through to the end. Something tells me these are future leaders of Europe though; it’s the fact that – according to the credits – it took eight of them to have the "original idea" for the video. But let’s be fair here. Can any reader point us to an equally dire anti-federalist film?

    This isn’t exactly an EU production. It was just made by some random French young Europeans group. This can’t be used as proof of how the EU has failed…it’s entirely irrelevant in the federalism debate.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
