(A RANT) The Fwench

 

Now I was talking to someone in work and the conversation got around to the EU, the fact that the UK is the only country that has modernised and that old Europe is still living in some neo socialist fantasy land and now wants us to pay for it by giving up our rebate to support lazy Fwench farmers,

Now this is a country that basicly is closed for a good 2hrs in the middle of le day, where the farms are not open till after nine in the morning, and the only thing mr le frog farmer gets up early for is the cheque from the EU paying for his daily wine intake.

Now I have to say that as a trading block the Eu could be good but it needs reform, and not just the farms. Now the metric system has been imposed on europe, I say it is time to modernise the communications network across europe.

This may be radical but we need an EU language. A language to bind all the nations of Europe together for the next thousand years. We have to face the fact that a lot of regional languages are dying out, and nothing is going to reverse that(people use the languages in common use, or the language that makes them money).

So we must leave the dying languages behind pick one language for Europe and use it as a trading block to compete with the world on the global market place. The savings in costs for each nation in the long term would be huge, no translators, no signs in 40+ languages, no need to reprint everything in every single EU language and so on.

Think of it, we could leave dying languages that hardly noone uses like Welsh, Cornish or French behind. English the language of the US, UK and the internet and commerce would lead the way.
