It seems strange that Manny Macron wants the UK to join his little army project whilst going out of his way to bar us from everything else the bloc is involved in. It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that our armed forces are among the best in the world and the rest of Europe doesn’t do fighting would it?
Now it seems that Ursula VDL and the new German Chancellor Armin Laschet have also backed the creation of an EU army and claimed the UK should be included. The EU will present a draft proposal of a potential first entry force in November and wants to seal the deal when France takes over the six-month EU Council presidency from January next year.
The UK currently spends more on defence than 24 EU member states combined and considerably more than the biggest EU spenders France, Germany and Italy. Surely the prospect of our heroes being commanded by the donkeys of Brussels is not something this country should ever contemplate.
