With this morning's news that there has been "sufficient progress" i.e. a breakthrough in the EU/UK Brexit 'negotiations' we can all celebrate that today in 1955 The Flag of Europe was first adopted. This was the Council of Europe's flag, which was adopted by the EEC* in 1985. Below is the fantastic Euler diagram that I hadn't seen before about all the European organisations. Worth noting of course that "The Council of Europe is not to be confused with the Council of the European Union (the "Council of Ministers") or the European Council. These belong to the European Union, which is separate from the Council of Europe... The Council of Europe is not to be confused with the European Union itself." [Wiki] **. The blog post title does not of course refer to the disappointing, frustrating, seemingly treacherous, disgusting, fake news, traitor-ridden, back-stabbing, cunt-fest feeding frenzy that are the Brexit negotiations themselves; "challenging" - to use Jean Claude's description - just doesn't do it for me.
*which of course later became the EC and now the EU.
**Got that?
