I SEE the latest load of nonsense from the Eurocrats of the Council of Europe is an order for the UK to double the amount of dole paid to the jobless, raising it to £138 per week. So ‘call me Dave’ and his lapdog Cleggy are in violation of the Social Charter, which is a legally binding economic and social counterpart to the European convention on Human Rights...so does this mean yet another of their benefits cuts will hit the wall? I bet they won’t be in such a hurry to slavishly follow European law on this one. Isn’t it about time our politicians kicked Europe into touch, and started ruling this country for the people who actually live here and put the great back in to Britain? I used to be among the people who wanted home rule for Wales; now I think we need home rule for Britain. Let’s get out of Europe – the sooner the better.
