The mindless interpretation and enforcement of EU directives is a UK

Those of us with long memories will remember that it was no different
before we joined the EU,

Wrong. Even if you choose to believe that the quality of govt
regulations is no worse since accession to the EU, the
increase in the volume of regulations is beyond dispute.

So? The rate of increase has not changed. It was increasing
rapidly before we joined, and had been for a long time. The UKrats
seized on the EU as an opportunity and an excuse, but there is not
a scrap of evidence it is even a part of the cause of the increase.

but that fact is conveniently forgotten by
the Little Englanders.

They're in rather short supply old, chap. That mindset seems
to have been taken over by europhiliacs who believe that the
drawbridge can be drawn up around the EU, protecting its
little nonsenses from the big bad world.

I am afraid that you are simply one of the suckers that has been
taken in by the Big Lie, promulgated from Whitehall and the Little
England press. UK politicians have no views of there own, nowadays.
