Rubbish it was a piece of tat cobbled together by British and American
Lawyers to try and stop Germany and its erstwhile collaborators such as the
French and Dutch from going down the same hole we?d only just dug them out
of. The whole concept of European proles having rights was at the time
anathema, no Anglo-Saxon common law tradition. Of course at the time when
we also signed up for it we simply thought that we were setting a good
example and there was no idea that we would soon be under the heal of those
we'd just liberated.

Who said anything about being 'under the heel'? I want us out of the EU
for economic & social reasons, not political ones.

I want the right to decide whether to use the ultimate punishment
against murderers.

You'd have to vote in the BNP first. There's no way the mainstream
parties would ever agree, and neither would I.

I want the right to decide to we let into/exclude from our borders.

Would you exclude the immigrants already here? How far back do you
want to go? This is a dangerous row to hoe.

I want decisions made on our behalf to be made *only* by people directly
accountable to us!

And we decided, by referendum, to confirm our membership of the
European club. We are accountable to our parents and grandparents who
voted. Have you asked any of them why they didn't take account of any
future offspring and what they might think?
