Gordon Brown is a master of connivance. I never understood that he is contriving the EU’s destruction until hearing of Baroness Ashton’s glorious exploits. Agnes Poirier reveals all in the Times.
CND’s sole attraction was that its protesters went home every evening and never worked weekends. Alas, the EU is for twenty four hour party people, but the 9 to 5 spirit of Greenham Common lives on in the EU’s High Representative and one time CND Treasurer, Baroness Ashton. Conscious of her carbon footprint, the Baroness commutes between London and Brussels most days and never answers the telephone after 8pm. This thoroughly civilised existence is a little maddening for the EU flunkies who have to locate the fragrant Baroness when Hillary Clinton calls after office hours, which, due to the time difference, is a frequent occurrence. Another downside is that whilst commuting from London to Belgium everyday is demanding, shuttling back and forth between London and Haiti is simply inconceivable.
