Europe deregulates? Oh, the horror…
28
September
We all know that the EU exists solely to make life difficult for people by introducing new, pointless regulations. The very idea that it could make life easier by allowing us free travel, movement, standardising weights and measures and giving us rights if we choose to live or visit any other member state is complete anathema, right? James C. M.:
How DARE they give shoppers choice? How DARE they remove pointless domestic regulations that prevent pensioners and single people from being able to buy anything less than half a loaf when all they might want is a few slices
It’s terrible, isn’t it? Deregulate and allow consumers to choose, so that, for example, a single bloke living alone can buy small packets of stuff that goes off quickly so that he can eat it all before it goes off?
How awful…
D’you think there’s a chance that the Europhobic might, possible, acknowledge when the EU does something they’ve been asking for? A little internal consistency? Nah, silly question, I know.

Good the EU finally does some deregulation. And Labour also enacted some liberal regulation. One Swallow does not a summer make. The few counter examples getting through does not change everything else they both do. Or answer the question as to whether the EU should have the power to overrule member states’ laws in the first place.

PS mind getting rid of the surname on your link to my blog. Two reasons:
1, I don’t want it
2, it’s not my surname.

I’ve personally never forgiven them for what they did to our fire extinguishers!
Apparently there are a few others to (and I know UKIP isn’t the most unbiased source, I just googled for info on fire extinguishers and that came out near the top).
