We used to play a game in primary school where we sat in a circle and passed around a message by whispering in each other’s ears. The message the last child heard wasn’t a bit like the original. The more children between, the more the message was unconsciously distorted. At the conference table of the Council of the European Union I felt like I was back in that circle.

"« C’est cet enculé de Barroso... » Mon interlocuteur souhaite exprimer son aversion envers le président de la Commission européenne. Je lui fais remarquer que l’insulte est homophobe. Il semble surpris, cherche à justifier son propos : « Non, mais c’est vraiment un connard »."
