EuroBollocks

London’s Cartoon Museum, first opened in 2006, has a new exhibition which has just started called EuroBollocks: Britain’s relationship with ‘Europe’ 1957-2007 looking at the 50th anniversary of the European Economic Community (now the European Union) which came into being on 1 January 1958 and Britain’s strained membership of it.

The exhibition describes Britain’s relationship with the EU as ‘a courtship conducted in fits and starts followed by a rather rocky marriage’ and a lot of people in the UK are sceptical and suspicious of the EU and think the people running it are corrupt, crooked, on the make and will do what ever than can to screw Britain. EuroBollocks uses the work of 30 cartoonists to tell the ups and downs of Britain in Europe.

Admission to the Cartoon Museum is £4 and it’s open from 10.30am-5.30pm Tues-Sat, 12 noon-5.30pm Sun. Its located on Little Russell Street, just around the corner from the British Museum. the nearest Tube is Tottenham Court Road. Map
