\"EU<\/a>Members of the European Parliament are considering setting up a website aimed at presenting children with a \u201cplayful\u201d presentation of the EU.<\/p>\n

The plan, which would seek to instil in children positive feelings about the EU, was highlighted by the Express<\/a><\/strong> today. The paper condemned the project as \u2018sinister Soviet-style propaganda.\u2019<\/p>\n

EU institutions already spend over \u00a32billion a year on \u2018communications\u2019 in a desperate bid to improve their failing public image.<\/p>\n

The same paper warned in another article today<\/strong><\/a> that \u201cknowing the mindset of the European Union, with its passion for control, for expanding its remit, for trampling on national sensibilities in pursuance of its dream of a superstate, one can guess which way a proposed website for children will lean.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about these plans to target children, UK Independence Party deputy leader and MEP, Paul Nuttall, said, \u201cOur children need to be protected from this type of political propaganda because they are vulnerable and easily manipulated. Of course, that is the reason they are being cynically targeted by the European Parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added \u201cWe have seen a profusion of cartoons, comics, schoolbooks and videos from the EU which are aimed at our children and are obvious propaganda.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople should be aware of this and prevent this stuff coming into their homes and their children\u2019s school. Political propaganda on vulnerable kids is a form of child abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not the first time the EU has targeted children in an attempt to preserve its declining public image.
\nWe warned last year<\/strong><\/a> about EU attempts to indoctrinate school children after EU official, Judith Schilling, said, \u201ceverybody has now picked up the idea that we will never succeed in convincing people about the value of being a member of the European Union if we do not start early enough with the young people, before they form prejudices and are misinformed by other sources.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the issue of EU membership is becoming so contentious that it could split the Tory party<\/strong><\/a>. It emerged yesterday that Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister and a Europhile, is saying that giving the people of Britain an \u2018In-out\u2019 referendum would be \u201cmadness\u201d even though the Lib Dem general election manifesto had promised an in-or-out EU referendum. (See picture below.)
