Brussels taking the piss

[ChristoT]

Having said that a lot of the old colonies  would be better off had they stayed.

Cough cough, half of Africa today, cough cough. Grandad was Govenor of the Northern Province of the Sudan during WWII, look at what a miserable state that country's in today! When many family members were white farmers in Zimbabwe (or Rhodesia as it was then), that country was known as "the breadbasket of Africa", it was producing so much food. Now look at it.

Watch the film "Beyond the Gates" (aka "Shooting Dogs"). Then ask yourselves whether in the face of such behaviour, colonial rule was that brutal after all....

But back to the OP....

What doesn't help is that the Brits are idiots. We are fucking morons, and we can't deny it. We follow every bit of legislation blindly and without complaint, like a three-legged blind sheep on a bit of string. The French are much more pragmatic: if they don't like the legislation, they tell the EU to fuck off, take the EU grants, and then carry on doing their own thing, happy as Larry. A healthy disregard for authority is sadly lacking today...

In terms of elections:
- Cameron has completely lost face, the odds of the Conservatives getting back in power wouldn't even be considered by a self-respecting bookie.
- The LibDems  - or rather Clegg - have completely fucked up any chance at regaining power for the next 50 years.
- Milliband will destroy the country if he gets in, his sums are up the spout. Think Germany during the Jazz age.

So UKIP have got to pull their socks up, because if not we'll have Labour. And between Farage and Milliband, I personally stick my flag firmly on UKIP's side, even if only for the  economic common sense.
