Dear All
The major problem with human rights is that some people don’t know what they talking about and they are in power.
Antonio Tajani, the European Union commissioner for enterprise and industry has had an idea.
It is a load of bollocks.
Brussels has declared that tourism is a human right.
No, it is not.
At a ministerial conference, Tajani put forward a scheme that pensioners, youths and those too poor to afford it should have their travel subsidised by the taxpayer.
I would love to go on holiday.
So, under the scheme, British pensioners could be given cut-price trips to Spain, while Greek teenagers could be taken around disused mills in Manchester to experience the cultural diversity of Europe.
It’s all very nice but not a human right in anyway shape or form.
Tajani said;
“Travelling for tourism today is a right. The way we spend our holidays is a formidable indicator of our quality of life.”
Travelling for tourism isn’t a right; you might as well go the whole hog and call everything a right.
For example, I can’t afford Sirloin steak but others can, are my human rights being broken?
Tajani came up with the idea because the European parliament paid contributions of up to 52% towards an eight-day skiing trip in the Italian Alps for 80 children of Eurocrats.
Now, he wants this scheme costing hundreds of millions of pounds a year put into effect.
Tajani’s spokesman said;
“Why should someone from the Mediterranean not be able to travel to Edinburgh in summer for a breath of cool, fresh air; why should someone from Edinburgh not be able to travel to Greece in winter?”
Is this a justification?
Or is the EU just loaded to the gunnels with nutters?
If the EU wants to put forward a scheme for cheap holidays for disadvantaged people, then fair enough.

But, there is no way that this should be called a ‘human right’ because it goes against the principles which under pin the foundations of the European Convention on Human Rights.
