		President of the European Parliament Josep Borrell, when talking about the Strasbourg seat of the European Parliament, last week stated that the “historic dimension [of Strasbourg] cannot be perceived in the same way in ’some Nordic country’ which did not participate in WWII” (news story from EUObserver here).
		It has been generally assumed that he was referring to the oneseat.eu campaign that was initiated by a Swede but supported by people from all over Europe, but there are so many things wrong with this statement that it’s hard to know where to start.
		Given that Borrell’s country didn’t participate in WWII either, he seems to be denying the validity of his own opinion.
