Business as usual in the New Europe

New hope (of a sort) for EU sufferers: European Commission chief accountant canned after complaining about fraud and abuse, and Oxbridge threatened with financial penalties for merit standards (they make state schools look bad.) Corruption and incompetence are necessarily endemic to the New Europe, since the transnational multicultural managerial order is unable to foster the concrete standards and loyalties needed for honesty and competence to become routine things. Since intrinsic flaws of this kind are all that is likely to save us from the New World Order, in a way they’re not such a bad thing.
