Das möchte ich nur einmal in einem vorgeblich liberalen deutschsprachigen Wirtschaftsteil lesen, was ich gestern im Daily Telegraph fand: eine Leitglosse von Ruth Lea unter der Headline "Time to be free of the EU's fraudulent and costly bureaucracy".
Dabei legt sie den Finger in die Wunde:
"But funding for the EU, with still half the budget going on the wholly indefensible Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and administered by a Commission condemned by its auditors, seems to be, in economists' understated parlance, a "misallocation of resources". EU financial help for France's riot-torn cities simply looks bizarre."
Sie räumt auch erfrischend klar mit der Legende von den angeblichen Handelsvorteilen, die jedes Land durch die Mitgliedschaft in der EU genieße, auf, bleibt aber bei der Analyse der europäischen Zustände nicht stehen, sondern macht praktisch einen konstruktiven, zukunftsweisenden Vorschlag:
"It's time to revisit the idea. After all, a form of à la carte Europe already exists with Norway and Switzerland, both indubitably part of Europe even though not signed-up members.
This is surely the future for the UK and, doubtless, some other EU member states. The UK should start negotiating for a future as unequivocally European as Norway's or Switzerland's but free of the EU's costly, fraudulent and economically damaging bureaucracy."
Nicht nur das Vereinigte Königreich, möchte man seufzend hinzufügen!

Dazu passend wie die Faust aufs Auge mal wieder Taki in der letzten "High Life"-Kolumne im SPECTATOR:
"[...]And speaking of losers, the bureaucrooks in Brussels want to introduce an emissions tax on flyers, as if flying wasn’t already very expensive. What they should do is impose an emissions tax on the flatulent pigs that run the EU, by far the most polluting emissions in the atmosphere. Just think how much pollution is emitted every time, say, Blair opens his mouth. Or Louis Michel, the Belgian cockroach who should have been exterminated but instead became the foreign minister of Belgium."
