I blame it on peacetime. Just because there’s no war, it doesn’t mean that people stop being warlike.

And so the dissatisfaction and the boredom grow, and the Health Fascists and the EU Nazguls twiddle their claws and peer restlessly into the murky gloom with their red-rimmed eyes, craning their icy necks to see if they can spot SOMEONE enjoying themselves.

The one mercy of the Iraq war was that the papers unceremoniously dumped their health reports, so preoccupied were they with the bloody goings-on, and everyone suddenly became riveted to their TV screens. That over, back to health scares – drone, drone, drone, blah, blah, blah, zzzzzz – and the usual junk.

I think EU officials and Health Fascists should have to spend a compulsory year either on the dole (over here and not in some warm country) or in a war-zone or trying to make sense of this list. That might set their priorities right.

Brown’s red lines revealed:

He would oppose the treaty if it…

1. Allowed giant alien moon frogs to come to earth and eat the EU’s asparagus mountain

2. Made Swahili the official language of the EU

3. Banned the use of loud voices by British tourists talking to waiters in Marbella

4. Straightened British-grown bananas

5. Made him lower fuel tax

On all five he successfully saw of these attacks on our sovereignty by the Albanian tea lady who came round after the plenary.

Another great result from a great Prime Minister.

He will go down as one of the greatest socialists who ever picked his nose.

Those of us who believe in the freedom of the individual, that which is not illegal is permissable will have to wait fifty years for the whole Stalinist mess to collapse.

And yes, I quite agree that the smoking ban is a far more serious affair than all this fuss and bother about jams and such-like. If there’s one thing I can’t forgive some European countries is their vehemence to ban smoking in public places way before England did. And without EU interference. What kind of example is that!!? I still can’t believe that the Italians, of all people, agreed to it. It shook my faith in human nature.

Many EU regulations are crap. BUT (and this is a big BUT coming up):

In Paris a few years ago, I bought some of the most delicious grapes I’ve ever tasted. I found them at a greengrocers – you know the kind, with fruits and vegetables openly displayed in crates or boxes. There were quite a few of these greengrocers along the street near my hotel – in fact, quite a few everywhere in Paris.

How many greengrocers do you see in London any more, selling fruits and vegetables of all shapes and sizes and colours? They’ve all been pushed out by our supermarkets, while rents and rates are so expensive that independent smaller businesses cannot possibly compete. Parisians, on the other hand, care far too much about their food to let anyone spoil the act.

It’s not a terrible thing for some people to care less about food than others, but I don’t think it’s just EU regulations that are limiting our choices of what we can eat or not.
