On the 11th February on my blog I wrote about the prisoners demanding the right to vote and also wanting to sue the government for thousands of pounds of compensation because this had been denied despite a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights.
On Saturday I read in the paper that the prisoners had appealed and the High Court judge turned down their appeal and ruled that those who had appealed should repay the costs which would amount to £78 each. This court case cost the taxpayer thousands of pounds and he has decided that they should now pay that money back and very right too. It's about time we stood up to the European bullies because that's exactly what they are. The British public has never given them a mandate to tell us what we should be doing.
Now we need to fight back against all the ridiculous rules that are made about our food, such as not being able to buy certain types of seeds for vegetables and fruits, not being able to buy bent cucumbers and mis-shapen strawberries etc. Then there are the rules around farming and fishing practices which we have to adhere to but other countries seem to be allowed to ignore.
I say, let's get out of Europe. We are an island race and we should shut the doors and stay that way.
I couldn't agree with you more Grandma. We could use that common sense here too.
