It is at our peril we grow lukewarm to EU

Sixty six years ago on Holy Saturday the Red Army with one million men reached Berlin. This was the culmination of the great victories at Stalingrad, Oriel and the tank battle at Kursk.

The gates at the German death camps had been opened.

The European Union was born out of the ashes of the 43,000,000 who died at the hands of Adolf Hitler and the German people.

It has taken blood and tears to create the EU. It's our life line to sanity.

Are we willing to forsake it all for lucre?

But just as the Catholic Church is growing lukewarm to the advances of the Vatican Council, so too are increasing numbers turning their backs on the EU.

Why do conservatives repeat again and again their policies to trample on progress?
