The end of England
The bureaucrats in Europe are at it again. last night we heard on the news they were determined to keep the raft of illegality around MEP's expenses secret from the people who pay their bills. Today we hear that the EU has a plan to carve up England into sub regions and have parts of the South join with parts of Northern France and drop the title 'English' from the English Channel. It would become the English sea.
I am sure this story is not new and I have seen a similar plan before. However, they now want for there to be sub-Parliaments that will cover these new regions. Apparently the Germans want to pursue it as it will underline the decline of trans-national borders.
I just wish the EU would spend more time putting right the real problems of Europe rather than inventing a whole new raft of stupid proposals. No wonder so few people in this country back the European ideal!

I contacted Giles Chichester MEP & he says "...I will ask my colleague our transport spokesman if there is any truth in it."
He goes on to remark "...I wonder if it is a co-incidence that this has surfaced at the end of March just before April 1st."
The article appears to be still on Electronic Telegraph, but I notice there is no comment facility enabled. Looks like we got sucked into that one!!
