You know, the UK really isn't seen as such a 'bad apple' by the EU policy makers as the general public seems to think. At least they transform the EU laws into national laws, we keep getting fined for not doing that, and we have the capital (our prime minister even went as far as to say "We are Europe", but then he fits the Blair, Chirac, Bush line-up perfectly ).

The UK is entitled to the rebate, that's pretty clear.

The CAP really is a problem, I'm not sure we're ever going to get rid of it.
Look at what happen with the textile, we drop the quota for a while and everybody starts to panick. Before you know it, we have a new quota 'for just five years'.

Now I'm not a big fan of globalisation, but the amount of protectionism we have with the CAP is simply unacceptable. It makes taxes higher AND food more expensive, how ridiculous can you get ?

I think the EU would function much better if France was ejected from it.

Possibly annexed by the EU then forcibly.
