"Its about time the idiots in BRU levelled the playing field."
It's about time "the idiots in Brussels" stopped interfering in everything. Regretfully it's sovereign governments that allow it. It's a convenient excuse: "Brussels won't let me do it" or, other contexts, "Nick Clegg won't let me do it".

Another one for IAG?
