Letter to the Editor

Nottingham Evening Post - Monday, 3rd July 2006


Dear Sir,

To celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, the EU is to hold a competition to find a new slogan. The current one, "Unity in Diversity", is apparently past its sell-by date. As MEPs, we should like to invite East Midlands electors to take part.

Some suggestions already on the table: Lib-Dem MEP Graham Watson says "Unity in Adversity". Lord Tebbit has suggested "Bigger but No Better". Nigel Farage of UKIP comes up with "Not Forever". The best we can offer is "Bureaucratic Not Democratic". Can your readers do better? Roger Helmer & Chris Heaton-Harris
