Eurozone Crisis - "I'm Pro-Europe but Anti-Brussels"

Real Socialists, Social Democrats, Old Labour and Trade Unionists are Euroskeptic on democratic grounds.

Tony Benn was a Minister as part of the 1974-1979 Labour Government and ran Labour's "No" campaign in the 1975 after-the-fact referendum on British entry to the EEC.

During his time in Government, he sat on the EEC Council of Ministers and became acutely convinced of the closed-door, wasteful and bureaucratic nature of the European Community and it's real threat to sovereign democratic elected representation in national institutions like the House of Commons.

The shabmolic, wasteful and utterly nonsensical practical operation of European bodies is given voice here by an arch cynic and Old Boy Tory Establishment Little Englander.

But that doesn't make it any less true.

Especially the reasons given for German and French enthusiasm for the European project.
