A man with a vision and who strove to achieve it. Love him or loathe him, he set out what he believed in and in politics, that is worth celebrating, especially in light of the feather-weights we have at the moment.

Not my cup of tea on a variety of levels but still kudos for believing in something and acting accordingly. Aint much of it about anymore.

Credit is due to you too for the tone and humility of your tribute. Well done.

I agree Matov.
A politician who is prepared to stand by their real beliefs and try to make things happen based on those beliefs is someone to be admired, regardless of anything else.
If either Starmer or Sunak had an ounce of what he had we might be in a better place.

It was mainly about free money for French farmers and still is. France is not a viable economy without the EU and Germany has no political allies without the EU. Unless you count its eastern vassal states.
People had visions of an EU because they remembered the wars in Europe. If anyone's afraid of German invasion now then fair enough. The EU posturing over Ukraine - without the military to back it up - is actually making the world more dangerous now.
I doubt Jacque Delors would have welcomed the current EU, although maybe he would if he had a sweet job in it.

Red and Blue Army!

That’s the most hopeful thing I have read here in a long time. If all that’s been missing is the evidence of the benefits then you can be sure they will be served up in abundance when we prepare the ground for a re-entry. Defending the status quo is always a harder sell than offering the golden dawn of an untested new age.

Which is the issue.

And why a potentially federal Europe could be the way forward if the native population is ever to flourish again.

Multiculutuarlism dilutes the conventional concept of what nationalism means. Meaning that a white Norwegian has far more in common culturally with a white Hungarian than they will have with a non-white person in their own country.

And that is actually celebrated by the Left. That is why they cheer the migrants in. Because their increasing presence dilutes the old nationalist narrative.

White Europeans need to start embracing that and begin to value their shared collective values and identity.

For the first time, starting to now edge towards perhaps at least considering a rejoin position based around this concept. What we understand as what it means to be British or Irish for example is over. But as Europeans, then potentially a very different story.

A greater valuing of our shared European identity might be the saving grace because here in the UK, the very instituions which are meant to define who we are, are the most cucked. For example, our own King makes a great show of proclaiming himself as the defender of ALL faiths.

That is not his role and yet he proclaims it. Our military is amongst the most ludicrously woke institutions in the country. Not even truly sure what it means to be British anymore. And our police force will arrest you for refusing to accept that a bloke dressed up in a frock is in fact a woman.

Maybe it is time to admit that the game is up, at least on this front? With perhaps the only potential way of saving something is to embrace our shared, and undeniably genetic-based, identity as European, no matter how bitter a pill that is to swallow?

Here in the UK we have a Conservative Party who have over-seen mass imigration, refusing to protect our coast-line and who have promoted every kind of attack on the traditional family unit.

Nope. Time for some big thinking.
