I agree. It's a constant real risk. Most people are reflexively and unthinkingly tribal and parochial. Europe needs to celebrate its multi-cultural diversity. H

I agree. It's a constant real risk. Most people are reflexively and unthinkingly tribal and parochial. Europe needs to celebrate its multi-cultural diversity. Homogeneity is boring. Ok, there is a need for harmonisation of standards and markets and laws, but at the same time cultural diversity is healthy. I think student Erasmus schemes are great, allows young to people to experience how brilliant and non-threatening the variations within Europe are. The EU really needs to step up on the propaganda :) I would like to be an optimist on this one.
