No, it's not a human right and no, we should not be paying for it!

Seems the EU are trying as Labour does to gather up their own client state dependent upon them and their decrees in order to vote for them and keep them in charge.


Times.

AN overseas holiday used to be thought of as a reward for a year’s hard work. Now Brussels has declared that tourism is a human right and pensioners, youths and those too poor to afford it should have their travel subsidised by the taxpayer.

Under the scheme, British pensioners could be given cut-price trips to Spain, while Greek teenagers could be taken around disused mills in Manchester to experience the cultural diversity of Europe.

The idea for the subsidised tours is the brainchild of Antonio Tajani, the European Union commissioner for enterprise and industry, who was appointed by Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister.

The scheme, which could cost hundreds of millions of pounds a year, is intended to promote a sense of pride in European culture, bridge the north-south divide in the continent and prop up resorts in their off-season.

Why should I pay for holidays for those who can't afford them, this is utter madness, I'm sick and tired of my taxes which are far too high anyway being redistributed to political vote winning supposed good causes. Why do we let them get away with this? Too many politicians when they aren't using the public purse to feather their own nests seem to believe they can use it to build up a clientèle of dependent wasters who will vote for them to get ever more freebies from the state via the hard-pressed taxpayer.
So, holidays as a human right? Yes if you work and yes if you want to save up and go on one. Holidays as a human right subsidised for you by the state if you're unemployed or can't pay for it? No, no, no, no, NO!
