Rebranding - let me at the irons..
Telegraph | News | Your chance to rebrand the EU - Brussels wants a new slogan
Its current motto is "United in Diversity", a cheery catchphrase designed to evoke a continent working together for "peace and prosperity".
If, however, you can think of a better slogan to sum up the European Union, now may be your chance.
José Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, will this week launch a "new slogan for Europe" competition aimed at re-invigorating the stalled European integration project.
The winning entry will be rolled out during the EU's golden jubilee celebrations next year, together with a new logo to replace the blue EU flag with its ring of gold stars (it represented "perfection, completeness and unity").
It has to be Ceterum censeo Unionem Europaeam esse delendam - unless you can think of a better one!

I'd always assumed its motto to be "Fuckons nous les rosbifs".

Try "stay the fuck away from us, you lot" sums up how the rest of the world thinks about it.
