It has become traditional for David Cameron to appear at European summits in front of both the Union Jack and the EU emblem to illustrate the ‘dual sovereignty’ between London and Brussels.
But now a senior EU official has caused outrage by appearing to suggest that the national flags of member states should be dropped in favour of the EU design of a circle of stars on a blue background.
Christine Roger, the communications director of the European Council, the EU’s governing body, made her comments in a speech to 650 ‘spin doctors’ from local authorities across Europe, including the UK.
She called for a new, dedicated public-relations budget to help ‘sell’ the EU as a ‘brand’ to its increasingly disenchanted citizens.

All I know is that the US and the fascist right are against a secure EU, therefore, by default I think the EU is good for Europe.

If you think the eu is good for Europe then you obviously are missing the point of what the eu is and what it aspires to be.
I think the EU is a banksters ploy. Of the banksters, by the banksters and for the Banksters. It never was anything else.
Outlaw the’ Federal’ Reserve and fraction banksters.
Get banksters out of government.
