"Mr President, let us rewind a little. Before you roll out your latest grandiose plan, let us take a look back. Do you remember the Lisbon Agenda? Let me refresh your memory. It was adopted for a ten-year period in 2000 by the European Council. It broadly aimed to make Europe, by 2010, the most competitive and the most dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world. How did that go for you? Not well. You replaced it with another plan. Now your beloved political project is in dire straits. Millions across Europe are in despair, and now you are scurrying around looking for another plan. You cannot accept the political reality that your project is fundamentally flawed. Your foundations are as strong as the blancmange that I had for dessert last night.
Whilst the euro sails into the rocks, the three presidents grandstand with the Nobel Prize. Did Nelson Mandela grandstand in the same manner? Did Barack Obama? No. They had dignity, and we are not seeking to create some useful diversion to problems so destructive to the peoples of Europe. No wonder the people of the UK demand a referendum to have their say on this mess."@en1
