Eric Pickles last night accused the European Union of trying to ‘wipe England off the map’ by developing a new cross-Channel region, complete with its own ‘flag’. The Cabinet Minister condemned the EU for ploughing millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money into the ‘Arc Manche’, the name given by Brussels to an ambitious attempt to merge Northern France and Southern England. Mr Pickles, the Local Government Secretary, says he is incensed to have discovered that Eurocrats are planning to roll out a new Arc Manche ‘transnational emblem’ across England.
The logo is described by its designers as a ‘series of concentric circles symbolising the flow of projects . . . and bridges between territories’.
It includes the word Interreg, a contraction of inter-regional – the name of a £1billion-a-year EU initiative to reduce the influence of national borders and increase cooperation between countries. The design will be emblazoned on EU ‘vanity projects’ in the cross-Channel area, including:
* A £7.6million network of ‘cross-Channel’ cycle lanes.
* A £5.5million scheme to pay for circus clowns to perform throughout the Arc Manche region.
* A £2million programme of cross-Channel ‘contemporary art’ tours.
Mr Pickles said he had inherited the plans from the Labour Government.

Firstly this is not 100% proof of the nwo at work in Europe.. You have provided 0% PROOF of that..
Can't see to many Brits or French for that matter lying down and accepting this..
I'm intrigued to know how the cycle lanes will work with crossing the channel..
And 5 million for clowns, we already have enough clowns in Brussels thanks, and they already cost us enough..

It appears the Daily Mail are making a mountain out of a mole hill, but this does feed into the E.U agenda. Although it claims to be an alliance between the southern counties and various organisations in France, it does still receive funding from the E.U.

Late April fools joke, surely? If southern England merges with France, what happens to northern England? I find this story hard to believe.
