Wonder if anyone else has heard about this and if so what can be

about it....


Withdraw from the EU. Then we won't get stupid EU regulations,
and the rest of the stupid regulations will clearly be home-grown, so we can
hold our own politicians to account for them.

The mindless interpretation and enforcement of EU directives is a UK
problem.

It's
called accountability, and it's in extremely short supply with
the current EU/national govt set-up. If the new EU constitution
gets passed then accountability will disappear completely
for decades. Lack of accountability breeds revolutions.

Not in UK so far, despite hundreds of years of lack of accountability.
