THE NEXT STAGE OF SOCIALISM

Let's play nice and share:

The current EU president, Luxembourg leader Jean-Claude Juncker, attributed the collapse of the talks on the [EU] budget to the clash of two opposing visions.

Speaking before the Luxembourg parliament on Tuesday (21 June), Mr Juncker compared Mr Blair's vision of Europe to a "large shop where all the products are white" and where one is unaware of the "origin and composition".

His own vision, by contrast, is of a "Europe of solidarity where the richer countries support the poorer countries".

Next thing you know we'll have a Star Trek-like Federation of Planets. Not to worry, the Klingons ain't gonna share their shit with nobody.
