Yes, I said small part and meant small part Bridge. You are the one pointing out what you don't like in terms of it affecting you, (copyright,) whilst extolling the virtues of Europe in the basis, a far as I can make out, that if 8/10 Tories are Eurosceptic, you have to be a Europhile. You also mentioned human rights as being the thing they object to despite it not being in the gift of the European Parliament. Don't rattle on about small parts and then seek to chastise those who carry on the theme. I don't mind discussing things on this site, quite cathartic really, but at least read what you put before snarling at me.

Al, I agree that some things should transcend party doctrine, but at the same time parties are entitled to having an overall philosophy on such matters, and the conservatives have difficulty leaving the union of Great Britain out of their thoughts, so anything pan Europe is bound to upset little Englander.

Being Eurosceptic and being a nasty wanker are not the same thing. Tell you what though, I notice most of the Tory Eurosceptics are much older than the Europhiles. If I were to say that is because younger peopler are less wedded to ideals and capable of reasoning on facts alone, I'd probably be talking out of my arse, but that doesn't stop me hoping I am right.
