Re: What's Going on in Europe

Years ago we had a referendum about joining the "Common Market." However this evolved into a political rubbish and we never got a referendum to accept that massive change did we? The EEC is a damn mess and it just cannot get out of the shambles over it's own currency and how thankful I am we kept the pound. And let us remember too that the EEC Parliament has never yet got it's books cleared by auditors so how do they still get away with that one? Try that in a business and you are out on your ear. Having two parliament buildings was another ridiculous travelling expense. They squabble well but cannot solve the financial debacle they self-created.
Personally, Europe is fine for a holiday and have been in France and the Netherlands twice but have nothing in common with it at al all and pleased we are separated by water. I wouldn't put the EEC in charge of a public lavatory.
