Sometimes portrayed as a ‘shadow world government’, the secretive Bilderberg Group are meeting in Spain this weekend.  Charlie Skelton’s Bilderblog in the Guardian takes a dim view of the whole thing, while the Telegraph’s Iain Hollingshead plays down some of the conspiracy theories.  I’m not sure his colleague Janet Daley would agree.

World government may sound crazy, but EU President Herman van Rompuy seems to think we already have one, and of course there’s the famous Dennis Healey quote: ‘To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair’.

Just a conspiracy theory?
