Isn't it nice to know they'll lead by example (http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/04/24/news/green.php), as they pass more and more stupid laws which will have little perceptible effect on gorbal worming or whatever it's called :lol: , but which will succeed in reducing economic growth and putting people out of work?

It's good to remember that when membership was voted on, it was put to the voters as a better economic free trade zone and not as a political / federal / largely unelected ruling body.

Maybe because I am a wee bitty owlder J4bber. than you, not by much grant you. Just maybe I was a wee bitty wiser in my doubts of being ruled by Johnny Foreigner, not saying that is the case. [lol]
