REGARDING the worrying resurgence of fascism in Austria and the ensuing imposition of diplomatic sanctions against Austria by the European Union, I say it would be wise to go further and suspend Austria's membership of the European Union.

The taking of this action now might prevent untold suffering in the future; suffering which might engulf the whole world as it did during the Second World War.
