"brittania rules the waves is crap" - from the good soldier. Just a point of note there is no such song, I would have thought that an "englishman" would have known that.

My biggest gripe at the EU is its refusal to publish its budget and its complete and utter lack of transparency. It is wholey undemocratic being run by an unelected council of ministers Mandelson and Kinnock being two prime examples, the former sacked twice for corruption and the other who as the leader of a political party was turned down by the British electorate repeatedly.
