"Mr President, the ridiculous story in the British press to which Mr Wise referred earlier actually originates from a disgraceful press release put out by the Deputy Chairman of the British Conservative Party, Mr Eric Pickles. It is interesting to see UKIP and the Conservative Party working hand-in-hand.
The press release actually claims: ‘The European Union plots to wipe Britain off the map’. It alleges that Britain is to be broken up into a series of transnational regions and will no longer exist. If you look at the references it transpires that the so-called plot is nothing more than the old Interreg regions – the regional cooperation between different regions with similar problems, such as the Atlantic regions. Presumably if they saw a geological map of Europe, they would claim that Scotland was being merged with Austria because they both have granite, or that the different limestone areas were being merged into transnational regions.
Sadly, the British Conservative Party, which is trying to portray itself as a serious party, has revealed its true colours by this press release. Nobody can believe that it is trying to be serious anymore."@en1
