The EU does not preserve peace in Europe – instead it has
brought us closer to war
George
Orwell and Joseph Goebbels did not have much in common, but they both
understood the essence of propaganda: if you want to tell a lie, make sure that
its a big one, and if possible make it the exact opposite of the truth.
David Cameron's speech at the British Museum claiming that the EU has preserved peace in Europe, and that a
British exit would make it more likely that the continent would plunge into a
reprise of the two world wars, was a classic example of the Orwellian big lie.
It is, of course, Nato, not the EU, that has kept the
peace since World War Two, and the EU which has already worsened – if it did
not not directly cause – two armed conflicts on European soil in the former
Yugoslavia and the Ukraine.
