Flogging a dead horse to children
Dan Hannan has written an excellent piece on the current attempt to sell the EU to Britons via capturing the imagination of their children. It does strike me how often the EU uses the same tactics as Hitler & Co when attempting to get the idea of a country called Europe across to the citizens of the continent. What next Euro-youth?
For older children, there is Captain Euro, a square-jawed superhero whose mission “to uphold the EU’s values” brings him into conflict with the villainous - and for some reason Jewish-looking - Dr D. Vider, who plots “to divide Europe and create his own empire”.
Read the whole piece. It does make for some rather cringe-worthy reading. Of course, anyone used to dealing with the EU or its institutions is used to cringing at the crassness and brashness of those wish to further the EU dream.
