We may be smug about the EU in the west, but for the troubled Balkans it offers a vision of hope Where on earth, would 88% of a nation's citizenry want to join us (and Herman Van Rompuy ) in the world's least welcoming club?

My learned friend Tom Harris MP has posted a wind up and link bait item entitled Blair, Cameron and Europe . In which he makes some kind of case for Blair and disses Camerwrong, Vague and Faux for being too bloody tribal and childish in throwing their toys.
