We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.
In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

Just wait for the follow up in a week or two: "Daily Mail stops eurocrats making us fly their flag".
I can say the name of that railway station in Wales, as well.

With pleasure:
"Behind the main European Parliament complex, I was directed to a newly opened 65,000 sq ft visitor centre called the ‘Parliamentarium,’ which cost nearly £18 million (the original estimate for it was £14 million).
It is a shrine to excess, packed with expensive technology and featuring welcome messages from every MEP.
It celebrates the creation of the EU with barely a nod to the crisis raging all around. France’s recent history is marked by a picture of the Tour de France, and Germany’s by the famous Berlin address by Barack Obama in 2008.
Interestingly, the image used to represent Britain (which, of course, is not a member of the euro) is much less positive.
We get pictures of the bombings in London in July 2005 and of staff packing boxes at the London arm of Lehman Brothers after its collapse. "
