The Future’s dark; the Future’s the EU

Blair is now giving in to Brussels and may hand a few £billion of the UK rebate back; keeping sweet the legacy of his presidency of the EU.

Whilst I’m not xenophobic, I fail to see the point of the EU sometimes. It’s the simple things - like what is the point of paying UK farmers to grow nothing - and then purchasing and paying to transport the produce the UK needs from France? Why can’t we just buy from our own farmers? And it’s those annoying French lorry drivers that are always on strike and causing extra CO2 emissions by driving over in the first place!

Dangerous times could lay ahead for Britain. As the UK becomes more Service based and we manufacture & produce less we will come to rely on our neighbours even more. What happens if things go bitter? What if there is a Euro-war? What will the government have to offer hungry UK citizens in need in times of strife? Do we still have our own farmers? – “Oh, sorry, we don’t produce food anymore – but come and stay in one of our converted barn apartments...”.
