The Economist of August 11th has a brilliantly incisive think piece in the Charlemagne column which compares Europe’s leading politicians with the evil geniuses of the James Bond movies, marking out the one crucial difference that 007’s nemeses did NOT reveal their plans for global domination until after they thought Bond was facing imminent death. Bizarrely, however the European political elite have declared proudly that the EU’s big new idea is to hoodwink its citizens by making the reworked Constitutional Treaty unintelligible and unreadable and by smuggling it past the voters without referendums. The Charlemagne piece concludes that the Bond films offer another lesson in that “When the evil genius gloats “you have interefered with my plans for the last time, Mr. Bond” the viewers know that a painful come-uppance is on its way. Filmgoers like hubris to be swiftly punished. EU leaders should take note.” The cartoon is very good too! Full article here . |
