Well, well, we've been here before. Remember the good old USSR? Some people on FR call the EU EUSSR. That name seems more and more apt.

Of course it is not the first time the EU/EC has used psychiatric diagnoses to get rid of "whistleblowers" or other employees who wouldn't follow the directive laid down by the Commissariat. Names such as Bernhard Connolly, Paul van Buitenen and Martha Andreasen come to mind.

What did lady Bracknell say? "To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."

The practice is alleged to have developed unofficially because the commission's generous employment terms make it all but impossible to dismiss staff. In the past, employees who have had run-ins with the commission, or simply underperformed, have generally had to be persuaded to leave by offers of expensive early retirement packages.

Ooops, someone let the cat out of the bag!

the commission has resorted to tactics "worthy of the KGB" by pronouncing staff unfit for work after grillings from psychiatrists

Now where are they going to put the Gulag?

He was put on permanent sick leave after tests found he suffered "verbal hyper-productivity" and a "lack of conceptual content" in his speech.

In other words he called his supervisor an A**hole.

Even in my over-unionized hired for life factory that will get you sacked.

"Critics claim that the commission has resorted to tactics "worthy of the KGB" by pronouncing staff unfit for work after grillings from psychiatrists."

Sounds like a combo of Nazi, Fascist, Communist and Socialist.
