Shared European Heritage is a by-line for White, it means being proud of a colonial past and the subjugation of other peoples.
Funny that the blueshirts and their christian democrat law and order friends are keen to plug the gap as the external borders of the eu become more and more militarised and computerised.
The only progressive identity that should be aspired to is a human identity.
A splendid way of celebrating our superior race and culture. I trust that all non-Europeans within our borders will either be excluded these provisions by preventing them to from working for at least seven years or demonising and harassing them until they decide to blow up our trains.
What a load of cock.
How can you celebrate a 'culture' that has singlehandedly been responsible for the destruction of the world.
Europeans go fuck off and die.
What colonial pasts have Ireland, Estonia, Liathaunia, Latvia, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Luxemburg, Norway, Finland, Malta and Cprus got to be proud of?
Belgium has a pretty nasty colonial past in the Congo/Zaire, Rwanda and Burundi, one of the worst, in fact.
People in the other European places you mention benefit to some degree or other from the spoils of the European imperial conquests; the control of global capital and resources largely by European (as well as US) interests, neo-colonial capital ventures in the third world, unfair terms of trade and the subjugation of 3d world economies by European (and US) dominated institutions like the "World" Bank and the IMF. We are continuing to fuck them over in a fluffy christian democrat and "business sense" way, since the imperial armies and companies left (& sometimes didn't, like Lloyds of London, a major contributor to European economic power, using wealth made from the slave trade).
They also all benefit from the privileges of "whiteness" a supremacist ideology devised in colonial times which permeates all our societies, which justifies the pillaging of third world resources globally and the marginalisation of people of colur domestically.
