EU propaganda is being handed out to teachers to indoctrinate pupils at a young age, it has emerged.
A Brussels official responsible for providing classroom material to UK schools admitted a desire to teach youngsters about the values of EU membership from a young age, before they are misinformed.
The revelation that aggressively pro-European leaflets were being handed out at an education fair to brainwash pupils has been heavily criticised.
UKIP deputy leader and education spokesman Paul Nuttall MEP told the Express: It is what we always suspected but could never prove. Now we can. They [the EU] are effectively using our cash to brainwash our children. And it has to stop.
Well, the EU was never designed to be a democratic entity. It was designed to be the next Socialist Union. Continued on Page 47
Adolf Hitler's Wolf's Lair, an enormous fortified base in the quiet Polish countryside, has been put up for rent.
Known locally as the Wolfsschanze, the 13-hectare site, situated in the Masurian woods near the town of Ketryn, is on the market for £90,000 a year.
During the Second World War, the site, then part of Eastern Prussia, was used as a command post for Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. It housed more than 2,000 security personnel, as well as members of the Nazi high command, including Hermann Göring, Martin Bormann, Wilhelm Keitel and Alfred Jodl.
The lease on the land, which is owned by the Polish Forestry Commission (PFC), has recently expired and new tenants are being sought.
Reported by the Telegraph, Zenon Piotrowicz from the PFC said: "There is no way you can rebuild the bunkers."
"We are concerned more about having the place made more attractive to tourists, including the renovation of the hotel and restaurant," he said.
Though the Nazis dynamited most of the buildings as they retreated from the Red Army advance, the huge toppled concrete bunkers have become a popular tourist destination with more than 180,000 people visiting the shattered ruins each year.
Built in 1941, the site was occupied by the Fuhrer for much of the Eastern Campaign, until its eventually evacuation at the end of the war. In 1944, the complex was the focal point of Operation Valkyrie, culminating in the failed assassination attempt on Hitler by Claus von Stauffenberg and a cabal of high-ranking conspirators.

Greek police arrested a 35-year-old woman in Thessaloniki, Greeces second-largest city, for non- payment of taxes amounting to 48 million euros ($62 million), in an effort to clamp down on tax evasion.
The woman operated a clothing company between 2006 and 2010, according to a statement released on the police forces website.
Greeces government has been stepping up efforts to fight tax evasion, by arresting citizens that owe taxes. Total unpaid taxes amount to 42 billion euros, according to a statement released on Sept. 8 by the Greek Finance Ministry.
On Dec. 28 a 70-year-old man was arrested in Athens by the Greek police for unpaid taxes that amounted to 1.1 million euros, while a 47-year-old man was arrested on Dec. 12 for non- payment of 7 million euros.
Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said Oct. 18 Greece had to step up the fight against tax evasion which will help heal societys wounds.

Ha! Greece's extortion funded sector will squander every penny of tax.
IF Greece wants to be competitive it needs to cut down the size of the government, and stop punishing people for creating wealth, and tax land values instead.
[Iran Press TV] Greece and its international creditors have started a new round of talks to avoid a default by the country, with both sides under increasing pressure to work out their differences.
The two sides said little on Wednesday after an over-two-hour-long meeting except that they would meet again on Thursday. Greece has to strike a deal within days to avoid defaulting on the debt when bond redemptions, equaling EUR 14.5 billion (USD 18.5 billion), are due in late March.
Greece's debt stands at EUR 340 billion (USD 440 billion) -- a sum, which equals around EUR 31,000 debt per person in the country of 11 million people. The country has the highest debt burden in proportion to the size of its economy in the entire 17-nation eurozone.
Investors fear a default could mess with the international financial equation and send the global economy into recession.
Greek officials and international bankers have expressed optimism that a deal could be reached in the coming days, despite the fact that talks broke down last week over the issue of the interest rate Greece will offer on new bonds and a plan to enforce investor losses.
An agreement with banks and other institutional investors would open the door to a funding deal from the International Monetary Fund and European lenders and help stabilize the markets within the eurozone.
"They are working hard to breach differences and they will continue tomorrow," said a source close to the talks.
Greece's Prime Minister Lucas Papademos, the country's Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos, and Charles Dallara, the head of Washington's International Institute of Finance, who is also representing private money lenders at the talks, discussed both the issues.

See ya in court.. Ooman Rites Court, that is. Hedge Funds May Sue Greece if It Tries to Force Loss
Hedge funds have been known to use hardball tactics to make money. Now they have come up with a new one: suing Greece in a human rights court to make good on its bond payments.
The novel approach would have the funds arguing in the European Court of Human Rights that Greece had violated bondholder rights, though that could be a multiyear project with no guarantee of a payoff. And it would not be likely to produce sympathy for these funds, which many blame for the lack of progress so far in the negotiations over restructuring Greeces debts
