English is the Lingua Franca

I just love saying that, because it’s a tri-lingual joke now. I’m reminded of it because the prissy busibodies in Brussells are campaigning to make French, the dying tongue of an irrelevant country, the de facto legal standard in the EU.

“Currently we have 23 official languages in the EU, that’s a true Tower of Babel. We need to chose a benchmark language for all judiciary texts, and we believe it should be French, for its precision and rigor,” said Maurice Druon, a French academic and a former Culture Minister.

I wonder if that was translated to English.

There’s little hope that this means they’ve rejected multiculturalism.
