The European Union, the political pipedream of one world European socialists, is a joke. It’s falling apart socially and economically. Nevertheless, the clowns in Brussels decided to free up a little cash to promote similar success in the United States. And when we say “a little cash” we mean thirty million smackers a year.
The Daily Mail UK has the story:
The EU Human Rights Fund is intended to help promote Western values in the developing world. But a shock report has found at least £17million of cash – around £2million from British taxpayers’ – has been ploughed into promoting the pet causes of Eurocrats in the U.S.
It is being spent on promoting abolition of the death penalty, discussion of climate change, green energy, and the International Criminal Court – all controversial subjects in the U.S.
The study by the Heritage Foundation, a centre-right Washington think-tank, found a further £4million has been ploughed into pro-EU propaganda in the U.S., including funds for advertising and publicity material.
More than £3million has been funnelled to American universities to promote the benefits of European integration and a further £3million to think-tanks who want to study EU affairs.
The European Commission’s own accounts show millions have also been paid to unnamed individual opinion formers in the U.S.
The report’s British author Sally McNamara said: ‘It is impossible to justify EU human rights budgets being spent in one of the world’s freest nations.’
Tory MP Douglas Carswell said: ‘The U.S. was founded by North Americans fed up with Europeans interfering in its internal affairs.
Just think, if these efforts are successful the United States can look forward to having the freedom of speech of the Dutch, the well-integrated Muslim population of the French, the ingenius political system of the Italians and the economy of the Greeks.
On second thought…
