Another reason to leave the EU

Mentioning before how the modus operandi of the EU is “furthering the French national interest“ consider the case of the 15 British sailors and Royal Marines kidnapped and held captive by the Iranians from Iraqi waters. These are EU citizens invited by the democratically elected Iraqi government to help with reconstruction, you would therefore expect that the EU would want to help them. Not least to progress the EU foreign policy, and diplomatic service which while it has no legal reason to exist, since it requires the now dead EU Constitution, and the EU is setting up anyway. However the EUs response has been basically nothing? And why would it leave its kidnaped citizens from one of the larger member states to the tender mercies of the Iranians, why it would be nothing to do with the €14 billion trade mainly with France. But because the French government cares more for money than their allies the EU is not going to do anything about Iran at all, and because we are part of the EU we cannot impose our own sanctions either.
