Oh good, it's Yvette Cooper again

That thin lipped prig Yvette Cooper has surfaced again in the EU debate. She is criticising Boris Johnson for saying the EU is trying to create a European super state, following in the footsteps of Napoleon and Hitler, but using peaceful means.

Boris says

Fundamentally what is lacking is the eternal problem, which is that there is no underlying loyalty to the idea of Europe. There is no single authority that anybody respects or understands. That is causing this massive democratic void.

Yvette is not having this, accusing Boris of playing a “nasty nasty game”. And her high minded contribution? She claims “The EU has played a critical role keeping peace in Europe” since the end of the second world war.

Hm, that’s NATO.

Evidently no lie is too blatant for Yvette to press it into service.

It seems Yvette has also forgotten about the EU’s bloody failure as Yugoslavia disintegrated, and its ham-fisted imperialism in Ukraine.

So not just a prig. A lying prig.
