CHRIS PATTEN IS COMING UNDER MAJOR CRITICISM for the EU’s support for terrorism, according to this story in the E.U. Observer. Hmm. He’s in charge of external affairs, but, er, he’s a hot-button PR liability for the EU. Even the Washington Post thinks he’s an offensive blowhard, which suggests to me that he’s not doing a very good job. I think it’s about time for a “Dump Patten” movement.
