GOVERNMENT STANDING UP TO EUROPE
Well, although it is apparently impossible to stand up to the encroachments of the EU when it comes to fisheries policy, constitutional reform, selling arms to China, the negative consequences for transatlantic relations of the EU’s defence technology developments, restricting our freedom of manouvre on asylum policy or anything else you wish to choose. But no, lo and behold, when it comes to trashing our liberties for some ill-defined and possibly ineffective security measures, well that’s ok of course then. For that we can just go and tear up the European Human Rights Convention and ignore the stipulations of the EU. It almost makes me think that on the other issues the Government doesn’t care or perhaps is in agreement with those policies, rather than valiantly trying to fight for Britain’s interests, but simply not being strong enough. Does make me wonder . . .
