Pope Francis complains of 'haggard' Europe in Strasbourg


	Quote: He also spoke of a need to reinvigorate Europe, describing the continent as a "grandmother, no longer fertile and vibrant" and saying it risked "slowly losing its own soul".

Er, not playing to your crowd there mate.

There are of course people who wish Europe was a little more haggard. It's a case of 'who's worse?' when it comes to UK politicians and their European counterparts for me, the result being that we get the best and worst of both...

Mind you, it gave the BBC an excuse to wheel out Nigel Farage for a quick 10 second burst of anti-European sentiment on the news last night.
