Support for the EU plunges to all-time low across Europe

Figures from Eurobarometer, the EU’s own polling organization, suggest that anti-Brussels feeling has spread far beyond Britain and is rising in both poor and better-off EU nations. It follows the continuing eurozone economic crisis, which has sent unemployment soaring and led to a string of multi-billion-pound taxpayer-funded bailouts.

Results showed 66 percent of voters in Britain say they “tended not to trust the EU as an institution”. A majority shared that view in Italy (53 percent), France (56 percent) and Germany (59 percent), while in crisis-hit Spain, the figure has soared to 72 percent.

The findings are understood to have triggered alarm among Brussels bureaucrats because the six countries surveyed—those above plus Poland—account for 350 million of the EU’s 500 million citizens.

Excellent. Maybe someday in the not too distant future all the D-Marks I have will be worth something again.

Yup, I heard about Barroso’s Maoist background some time ago. Good thing for him that the Commission is all appointed, right?

Also, when you have former Soviet dissidents comparing the EU to the USSR (Vladimir Bukovsky in particular), you know things are headed for trouble. That dictatorship is already half-formed, and they are shooting for a fully-formed one.

Hopefully the EUropeans will dust off some old guillotine and start using it on this bunch of dictators.

Indeed . . .something great is afoot in Great Britain and beyond. May the EU/Euro's slow demise, slip and avalanche into rapid oblivion.

If this isn't an example of "bigger is not better", then what is?
The disaster EU has been is only a small preview of what a one-world UN government would be like.
