Euroführer Schulz says "the UK belongs to the EU"

The President of the EU Parliament, Martin Schulz, has told ITV News that "the UK belongs to the EU".

The Euroführer generously conceded that "important member states like the EU have the right to discuss their role within the EU" but we can't change any treaties because then other member states will want to.

A lesson in sovereignty and democracy from Herr Schulz, the man who became EU Parliament president without a single one of the 742.5m people who live in the EU voting for him.

Another German imperialist once said "The Führer takes back what belongs to Germany". It seems that that mentality hasn't strayed far from the political class.

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Schulz
