Headlines galore for the EU after the press saw the Commission's You Tube video promoting European cinema, which features a series of sex scenes from award-winning films with the tag line “Let's come together”.

Predictably the League of Polish Families is outraged (when are they not outraged?), while Godfrey Bloom, having made himself the Parliament's go-to man for sex-related stories, just as predictably responded with: “The EU has been screwing Britain for the past 30 years.”

Though if Godfrey, and everyone else advocating British withdrawal (ahem) from the EU, got their way the video would have featured a series of people sat on their bed on their own. Not so splendid isolation!

Some people have even suggested the video was a tad conservative. After all 27 countries are now in the EU and I couldn’t count more than two people in one scene at a time.

The video was posted on the EU’s own You Tube channel EUtube, available online at http://www.youtube.com/EUtube
