"Mr President, during the vote one of my Dutch colleagues remarked that part of the report did not make sense in Dutch. I had difficulty in finding any of it that made sense in English! This report has taken political correctness to a whole new level. It is counter-productive to approach such an important issue as religious fundamentalism with a tirade of political fundamentalism of the kind that this report is largely made up of. I am particularly critical of paragraph 29, even as amended, which considers the separation of church and state to be the most acceptable form of government. I do not have to remind you, Mr President, that in my country, if not in yours, the head of state is also the head of the established church. That is a system that works very well indeed. I hope Parliament is not calling on the Queen to abdicate, so that maybe we can elect President Kinnock in her place!"@en1
