The Spectator reports:
The European Union now has its very own honours list, grandly named the European Order of Merit – with gongs dished out to Bono and Angela Merkel. Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, and Lech Walesa, Poland’s first president after communism, also made the cut in the inaugural honours roll call.
The new Eurogong Awards Show could be hosted by that great Europhile Antoine de Caune or better still it would be a great gig for Ricky Gervais to rip into the EU great and good.
But who wants to go to a show in Brussels?
You can tell when an insititution is heading for irrelevancy when it is reduced to handing out awards for being 'one of us'.
