AN INTERESTING ATTENDEE TO BILDERBERG 2007

Professor Paul Taggart, Professor of Politics in the Department of Politics and Contemporary European Studies at the University of Sussex. His subject appears to be Euro-scepticism and how to overcome it? No doubt some words of his were passed down to fellow Bilderbergers Blair, Merkel and the rest of the traitors to humanity in Brussels last week when they were agreeing a constitution by the backdoor.
