Centre for European Reform - A few of the villains!

(Note this post was in draft when a power cut shut down my computer. I eventually returned to continue drafting and found it had been published. I deleted the post, but realised it had been on the blog for some hours, not necessarily complete. I am re-reinstating it, but will return to this topic more fully when time allows.)

The Centre for European Reform is a think-tank devoted to improving the quality of the debate on the European Union. It is a forum for people with ideas from Britain and across the continent to discuss the many political, economic and social challenges facing Europe. It seeks to work with similar bodies in other European countries, North America and elsewhere in the world. The CER is pro-European but not uncritical. It regards European integration as largely beneficial but recognises that in many respects the Union does not work well. The CER therefore aims to promote new ideas for reforming the European Union.

How Europe can

A paper on this topic is to be presented soon, as could be expected, the first two chapters are the following:

Foreword
1 Introduction: Why does innovation matter?
2 What is innovation? etc....

These are the people who have grabbed control of our Continent, destroyed its democracy and are daily smashing its economy, yet they do not even know what innovation is! Figures, does it not! The pdf file has a fitting picture to introduce the topic, try to see it!
