Cameron's new European partners
During yesterday's Europe special, in an exchange with the Conservative MEP, Daniel Hannan I made reference to a quote by a European politician about President Obama. The politician in question was Artur Gorski, an elected member of Poland's Law and Justice Party who stated in November that Obama's election "marks the end of the white man's civilization," and went on to say "America will soon pay a high price for this quirk of democracy." The Polish government and Gorski's party did later apologise for the remarks, as did Gorski who stated his comments were not racist, just "political." You can follow this link to see how the Washington Post reported his remarks.
The comments are particularly interesting because David Cameron's Conservatives have announced they are to quit the European People's Party grouping in the European Parliament to realign with a group that includes the Law and Justice Party.
