There has already been a great deal withering commentary on Chris Patten's feeble whinging in response to George Will's column on European anti-Semitism, but, when it comes to commenting witheringly, nobody does it better than Moira Breen: "he must indeed have been 'more than shocked' by Will's column, to blubber in public like this."
As with so many recent attempts by Euro-intellectuals to dismiss stateside worries about the apparent upsurge in Euro-anti-Semitism, there's something about the way Patten says "there's nothing to worry about" that really makes you worry.
