I read that the Luxembourg Prime Minister has just made a speech saying that we should be "proud of Europe". He points out that we have created the longest ever period of peace in Europe (at least within the EU area), created a common internal market which is now the largest free market in the world, set up (among most of the EU) a common currency, developed a common policy on most environmental matters and overseas development, and so on - and yet all we do is moan. Should we not celebrate this success, he asks?

Any British politician likely to make a similar speech?
