摘要

Here's an idea. Let's build a tent, a really big one, and fill it up with, erm, all sorts of cool stuff (the details can be sorted later). Once it is up, everybody will enjoy themselves, or at least keep dry if it rains. Only the unpatriotic will stay away. You know the kind: cynics, carpers, professional complainers, Tories, journalists, accountants—the sort of people who for some reason feel uncomfortable about celebrating Britain's success. That, in a nutshell, seems to be the new argument Tony Blair and Robin Cook, his foreign secretary, have dreamt up for selling the merits of the European Union to a sceptical Britain. The gist of their case, spelled out in a flurry of speeches and articles this week, is that the EU tent is big and getting bigger, that being inside it makes Britain safer and stronger in a fast-changing world, that supporting it should therefore be "the natural reaction of patriotic British citizens", and that these truths are self-evident, or at least would be if only a bitter, twisted and irresponsible press refrained, in EU matters, from dishing out myths—such as a classic tabloid tale that the EU wanted to ban bananas that were excessively curvaceous.
