I do, Hotep. I am a Eurofile, but do not see that we need to be attached to Europe like a Siamese twin. I am fed up with their directives. I have seen fishing fleets destroyed on the basis of some edict from Brussels. I have seen farmers set aside viable land. I have seen the law reports framed full of Eurocentric decisions.

I love Europe, but I cannot wait to leave. We are not the same as them. Come to think of it the French are not the same as the Germans and have a proud history of not getting on too well. We have been at daggers and swords drawn with the French from 14 October 1066 to 18 June 1815. And none of them obey the rules which we seem to believe we should slavishly follow. The European Court said UK nationals do not have to pay NICs on taxable capital gains in France because we pay them here. But the French are changing their law to reverse that decision.

Yes, they will pour fire and brimstone over us for leaving, but that is no reason at all for staying.

"Up yours, Delors", is my watchword! And I bet all Cameroon's politicking will have little effect compared to what Murdoch and The Sun and the Times decide is good for us.
