PC Laws by the EU kill

Well i'm sure Europe doesnt need to do it just because the United States does.

no but i think it's fair to say that any country/union that has a method of subsidising food production will always have a surplus and dump it. I THINK the chinese do it as well (not 100% sure about that one).

I would play hell if I was being treated in my own country by a non english speaking doctor - When abroad then its up to yourself to be understood in their language.

The EU food thing is just a total scam Our food prices are on the up again because they have decided people in the EU are not allowed to sell the odd shamed - to big - to small fruit and veg etc (this was the case in the past but they stopped it for a year or so but I think the foreign growers were not getting a high enough price) it all tastes the same but people caught breaking these rules could face a criminal record :s

The poor fisherman who reach their quotas or catch certain fish they shound'nt throw so many fish back each day so they don't crazy fines :s almost all they throw back is either dead or dies (feeds the seagulls i guess) Maybe they need to broadcast messages telling all cod or haddock to come back the next day as they have caught the quota of that fish for the day.....

The smoking ban is a total sham if you did not want to go in to a smoking pub or club then you could choose not to We now have streets full of smokers who look like they are loitering to sell drugs or sex. The ban should have been to stop all smoking on the streets. The beer gardens are now full of smokers which ruins the enjoyment. When the ban 1st came the landlord of my local banned kids and made his small garden a smoking garden lol. There is far more litter from these smokers than there ever was before.

If the EU used common sense when making laws we would perhaps give them a little credit. If the EU was funded fairly by all nations in instead of some giving and most taking we might show a little support. Maybe if we got our vote on the EU constitution that Blair promised then we would all have turned pro european? Brown the clown signing a document with all the consitution had in it just with a different title was so wrong and if there was any good things the EU could do for us I am afraid lots are not willing to listen any more and I think thats because we were all ignored when it mattered.

Can anybody tell me why the UK follows the EU laws to the letter but every european country I have been seems to pick out the laws that benefit them and stuff the rest? and good on them for doing so.
