Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
Can't seem to find it. There's a Hannan entry with the same poster, though.Originally Posted by Furunculus
If it's real (according to him it's in the Commission building, somewhere) then I certainly hope someone will be fired over this.
Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
What's that Shinto thingy doing there?
Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
Why does Serbia belong anywhere, I don't know. But Servia also has to join it seems. Why, just for the nobel price I am not that stupid.
Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
Serbia is a continent. We don't want to join EU. Later, when you get all European nations in there, we're just gonna conquer ya. Could do it now, but we'd have to declare war on each nation separately and that's just too much paperwork.
Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
On the poster from the previous page:
http://www.europe4all.org
It's a private organisation, so the entire controversy is a tad irrelevant. Good to see Hannan jumping at every slight opportunity to bash the EU though, it's one of my ways of checking wether the world still exists as I know it.
Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
I suspected as much. It wasn't smelling right at all, which is why I thought it must have been a mistake some where in an art department. Not being related does make sense.

Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
Perhaps one of you 'educated' types could show me where on that link the poster occurs? I can't seem to find it.
Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
Because there are Shinto Buddhists in Europe?
The whole message was that we could all live together happily, there is nothing wrong with that.

Except that the hammer and sickle are banned in some countries and the majority by far of Europe is Christian.
Nice Tweet:

Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
Right, the Hammer and Sickle is obviously an oversight by the arts department but it is pretty obvious why it was there, it is someone trying to say Europe tolerates everyone. They needed some QA before releasing.
As for your second point, you are clearly not understanding the message it is trying to say. Putting a massive cross, a picture of Calvin, Darwin Fish, Martin Luther and sticking a little Crecent in the corner doesn't really express the values it is trying to portray. That of acceptance and religious freedom. It is not meant to be accurate.

I wouldn't have expected any less from the omni-shambles that is the EU.It is not meant to be accurate.
For balance they should have the swastika there as well. After all the EU embraces everyone.Right, the Hammer and Sickle is obviously an oversight by the arts department but it is pretty obvious why it was there

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Except nasty people. Like democratically elected governments of other states.

indeed, they can't decide whether they have allowed direct bank recapitalization from the ESM, or not. iz confoozed:

indeed, wop a swastika in there and i'll be happy, after all, there are quite a few neo-nazi's in europe too, and we would want to infringe their human rights by denying them representation, now would we?

In that case we need a Scientology symbol in there as well.

Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
So your quite happy with your pet EU project to depict symbols of torture, murder, ethnic-cleansing, mass starvation and terror. Probably the most evil ideology ever.

Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
1) I don't agree to EU in its current format, therefore, it is not my "pet project". Because you are a Tory, it doesn't mean you agree with everything David Cameron says and does and actively champion it.
2) The symbol doesn't actually depict that, it is like arguing Buddhists are proud owners of Mien Kampf.
3) Meaning of symbol aside, it doesn't take much of an educational guess to understand why the slip-up occurred.
However, it is not clear reason to start banging a war-drum up and getting your knickers in a twist.
