A repeat of a recent Andre Rieu concert in Maasterick, Holland, was shown on Sky Arts last night.
It was held and first broadcast well before the possibility that Russian forces might soon appear near the Polish Border.
The huge audience consisted of about 80 Nationalities.
At the beginning of the concert, Andre asked - ‘’Is there anyone from England?’’ ‘’Yes‘’, was the reply. ‘’Welcome to Europe’’ said Andre. It was met with a huge laugh from the entire audience.
Towards the end of the concert, Andre said ‘’the English have left, and the Russians are coming’’. It was met with a muted response.
I got the distinct impression that while we know that the Europeans are desperately sorry that we have left the EU, they still regard us a their main ally or even their protector in the event of threatened invasion.
