Vile bodies

Congratulations to The Daily Telegraph for its judgement in putting the “Holocaust” story on its front page.

A senior European Commissioner, it David Rennie writes, marked VE Day yesterday by accusing Eurosceptics of risking a return to the Holocaust by clinging to "nationalistic pride".

This was none other than the fragrant Margot, whom the DT describes as "a Swede and the commissioner who must sell the draft constitution to voters". Speaking in the former Jewish ghetto of Terezin in the Czech Republic, she argued that politicians who resisted pooling national sovereignty risked a return to Nazi horrors of the 1930s and 1940s.

This ghastly woman then went on to blame the Second World War on "nationalistic pride and greed, and … international rivalry for wealth and power". The EU, she claims, had replaced such rivalry with an historic agreement to share national sovereignty.

No content with the extrusions of this vile woman, the rest of the commission joined in with a declaration, stating that EU citizens should pay tribute to the dead of the Second World War by voting "yes" to the EU constitution. They also gave the EU sole credit for ending the Cold War, making no mention of the role of Nato and the United States.

The DT cites Richard Shepherd, the Conservative MP for Aldridge-Brownhills, saying it was "breathtaking" to link Nazism to the defence of national sovereignty. "It's a monstrous rewriting of history to promote a profoundly undemocratic project," he adds.

Too right! How dare these second-rate crooks invoke the death of millions in the support of their cause. Never more have this etiolated bunch demonstrated just how foul their "project" is and what vile bodies they really are.
