    MEPs have decided to revive symbols of the European Union like the flag and the anthem in an attempt to foster greater pride in the institution.

    The flag, a politically correct motto and Beethoven’s Ode to Joy will all be used more by the European Parliament as it tries to help citizens identify more easily with the EU.

    But Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party and an MEP himself, has accused his parliamentary colleagues of “trying to ram them down our throats”.

    MEPs said: “Symbols are vital elements of any communication process.”

    The politicians stated they “convey an emotional image of the underlying values of the organisations they represent.”

    With this in mind, they have decided to make more use of the flag and the motto “United in Diversity.” It is to be printed on all material emanating from the European Parliament.

    More controversially, the finale from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Ode to Joy, is also to be played more at official occasions.

      “YOU WILL LOVE THE FLAG” This just goes to show that the EU is nothing more than an UNELECTED FASCIST DICTATORSHIP. The reality is that nobody asked for this and nobody wants it and these scumbags know that, so in true Nazi style it’s forced upon you. With a bit of luck flag burning will become common place or people will have the common sense to just turn their backs on it. This isn’t my flag or my national anthem, I certainly don’t recognise it and never will. Nobody voted for this dictatorship so why play along with it? Afterall it is only the scum that run the EU that think that they have the legal right to rule, when in reality they have no legal right as they are UNELECTED!

      Im taking an oath right now as im writing this that I will never, under any circumstance, be it either the threat of imprisonment or death, recognise the European Union, its flag, motto or anthem. I didn’t vote for my country (Malta) to be a part of this unelected, fascist dictatorship and for me, my country’s entry in the EU was the most tragic thing that ever happened to the Maltese people.

      “to foster greater pride in the institution”
      HaHaHaHa! We detest your institution, we detest those working for your institution, we detest your plans, your ideas, you people. Total criminal scum and you will hang by your scrawny necks!

      United in Diversity…
      Even the title of the anthem smacks of politically correct BS.

      Agreeably “WAGGING THE DOG” as is their custom!- Hey I know! When the NAU kicks in we can use the “SOUTH PARK” theme as our new anthem and then revive the the “YELLOW CAN CAN DANCER” (1846 Texan independence) as our beloved new flag in honor of GW, who will most likely be the “self declared” dictator eh? (couldn’t leave the Ca’nooks out could we?)!!

      “united in diversity!” = “brawndo has electrolytes!”

      do you think the e.u blueprint for flag and anthem has been lifted straight ot of orwells animal farm? it is very like “beasts of england”.united in diversity=four legs good two legs bad.
      it would be nice if these power mad people did migrate to a small farm somewere and play their stupid games between themselves and leave the rest of us to live our lives without thier unwanted early 1900’s politics of domgma.i bet none of these people have ever had a real job just been at school the whole life and know sweet fa about the real world outside manor farm.
