Olli Rehn's Ironies Too theme tune removed from YouTube

Olli Rehn the EU Finance Commissioner, notorious for the fine mess he has made of his position, has long been unique in having been gifted his own theme tune by this blog "Another Fine Mess" by Laurel and Hardy. Although he is still making stupid remarks and presiding over the biggest financial disaster in European history, we will now be unable to post this video to accompany his inanities.

I have just tweeted his latest from the WSJ as follows. "Europe has not yet recovered from the financial crisis back to the levels before it," Olli Rehn EU Finance Commissioner"

Maybe a blog reader has an alternative source for the original video, which really was quite catchy, see here where once it resided.

Amazing the reach and grotesqueness of the EU is it not? Where even a simple tune has to be removed from our enjoyment!

BBC declares Nigel Farage as Top of YouTube Pops

The quote from the BBC page is as follows:

Mr Farage has amassed 2.6 million views for his top five clips posted on YouTube, all of which are outspoken speeches in the European Parliament.

The speech in which he likened the new president of the European Council, Herman van Rompuy, to a "damp rag" and claimed no-one knew who he was - a tirade for which he was later fined and forced to apologise - has been watched nearly 865,000 times.

In other clips all viewed more than 350,000 times, Mr Farage takes Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy to task and suggests the "game is up" for European integration.

This blog regularly carries these populer clips, a more recent one with both Dan Hannan and Nigel Farage is here:
