Another rant....

My contempt for the EU and all it stands for is quite well known to friends and relatives - and when I come across details like this, you might understand why.....

quote

What do you do when you get into financial trouble. What do you do when all your friends are in financial trouble as well?

Do you cut your spending? Do you borrow more? or do you, as the European Commission has done:

Set up a company, get all those friends who are in financial trouble to buy shares in your new venture by robbing their taxpayers of huge amounts to raise the paid up capital (details at the bottom), then get all the friendly governments to give this new company legal status, privileges normally reserved for diplomats along with full immunity for all and anything they do whilst working for the company, plan to employ a whole raft of new staff, appoint a Board of Directors and a Managing Director, invoke professional secrecy rules on them all, and get governments to grant immunity to the persons and exempt them from income tax (the company will tax its employees and keep it).

On top of that, ensure that your new company is exempt from all and any kind of registration, regulation, supervision, oversight or taxation and can operate OUTSIDE of all legal structures, AND gets to audit itself whilst leaving the EU Commission as the sole negotiator on loans made by your ‘company’.

That is exactly what the EU Commission have done with their ESM Treaty (European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism). The Mafia could not have done any better. This is racketeering and money laundering on a continental scale.

I've moved this to the Grumpy corner for you.

I didn't want to but it's a new EC directive

Mod 6

- I wouldn't be at all surprised

This is a notice I made for my local pub and just about sums up the EU:

E.U. Directive 27835/10 (I.F.F.Y. ICE)

The above Directive requires that all ice used in the preparation

of food and drinks must be supplied with a 'Use By' Date.


The management of this establishment would like to assure

all customers that all ice used in these premises is

FRESH


WE DO NOT USE THE FROZEN VARIETY

[dave.m]

It is a wind up but they actually issued a directive in 1989 that all bags of ice sold in shops must have a 'frozen date' and a 'use by date' on the bags.

Some one once posed the question - name six things you do in a normal day that DON'T involve rules, regulations, directives or any other government 'interference'.

Now there's a challenge........

Drink tea, eat toast, *hit, *iss, fart, burp!........am I on the right track?...

[kellys_eye]

Tea - EU caffeine labelling regulations
Toast - legislation on salt content of bread (in the news atm)
Sh1t/p1ss - EU waste framework directive
Burp - Global warming

Not really: we used to be able to make a cup of tea without someone making a profit until Maggie decided that profits for the already too fat cats were more important than people. Applies to toast too.
