Boris: historians vs hysterians

Europe is too diverse to be reunited, as in Roman times, by force of arms, e.g. by Charlemagne, Napoleon, Hitler and various others, or by bureaucracy, as the European Union is attempting. Diversity is supposed to be absolutely wonderful, and there are self-appointed diversity police constantly on the lookout for offenders against their religion. Which makes it all the more strange that we never hear a squeak out of them on the issue of the EU. Bought and paid for? Knowing which side their bread is buttered on? Probably.
    And then there are all those who took a pop at Boris Johnson for daring to mention Hitler and the EU in the same speech. Hilarious Benn; Yvette Cooper, who was famous for never being able to make up her mind when a government minister; Ming the Merciless Campbell – they all pushed the self-publicity button but did no damage, given their lack of gravitas.
