This years EU election will be the last chance to kill populism, Guy Verhofstadt has warned, calling for sovereignty-destroying reform which would transfer national powers to Brussels.
In an interview with five influential establishment newspapers from across the continent on Tuesday, the veteran MEP and Brussels Brexit coordinator gave his backing to the vision of a federal EU superstate unveiled by Emmanuel Macron earlier this week.

The union envisioned by [the French president] is a Europe that can stand on its own two feet, in a world of great powers in which EU nations would not be able to protect their own interests and way of life by themselves, he said.
Asserting that nothing is eternal, the Belgian politician stressed that, without a statist Brussels takeover which would see Eurocrats create an EU army, seize control over national borders, migration and bloc-wide energy policy, and even organise the internet in a European way a populist nightmare will become reality.

The 65-year-old, who has led EU Parliaments Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) for a decade, called for the creation of a single Euro-African economic area at a conference of the EU parliamentary grouping last week, claiming such a construct would have an enormous potential
able to rival with China in terms of consumer numbers.

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as “Euro-English”.
In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou” and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
Indeed - and it's not just superficial. Lose the hipster eyeglasses and give him a bad 1930s haircut and I think the resemblance would be undeniable.
He already has a bad haircut. Bad teeth, too.
We witness the convergence of the Godless Left, Global Fascist and the Islamists against the Christians, Jews and Freedom Lovers.
Each of the first 3 believe they will win over the other 2 and rule the world.
In the end none of them will, in the end God will prevail.
That’s why we have army bases in Europe. Mu cousin serves in Sokor and he told us that the reason why we are there is not for those damn ingrates called South koreans BUT to checkmate China..
That’s it. Same for the Euroweenies.
it looks more like the Korean US troops are a tripwire.
They couldn’t possibly ‘checkmate’ China, but their deaths
would surely draw the US into a war, which would be over by
the time we got there.
It’s all about the nukes.
That’s what the public thinks. From what was told to me, we have some sick total annihilation kind of weapons there that would make Nokor and China the next Chernobyl in MERE seconds. The chinks knows this. Believe me, we are not there to lose. He just got re-assigned from Red Cloud and there were some things that he just could not tell me when he was stateside for R&R.
