The EU seems determinined to accelerate it's own decline. Unfortunately, as time goes on, it will have to find more and more ways to take money off of people who have earned it in order to pay for their policicies. Hopefully, Mrs Whatsername of the Green party will never have to explain to her grandchildren why their generation have to ask for food aid from India but if her ideas prevail, it will be become more likely. Sorry to hear voices telling us how reasonable these proposed taxes are, it will only lead to Europe going into the ring with one hand tied behind it's back and so losing to the competition with no such handicap.
Think I'll just sit in a corner and worry.
p.s. Spare a thought for the French owned China Clay industry in Cornwall (South West of England), just under half of the workers are about to be made redundant. Much of the work is going to South America which, last time I checked, was outside of the EU.
