How Germany twisted the knife

The Times Online guest contributors Opinion

"How Germany twisted the knife
Anthony Browne

“Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive
But to be young was very heaven.”

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH was of course writing about Paris in 1789, but Eurosceptics are starting to feel the same about Brussels in 2005. Being modern-day Brussels, the revolution is neither quick nor bloody, but painfully drawn out and (usually) diplomatic. In the capital of Europe, it is difficult to escape the feeling that, wherever you look, the regime is changing."
