EU evil.


I am well known for despising the EU because of: massive expense, corruption, delusions of grandeur, bureaucracy, loss of democracy and general non-stop bossiness.
BUT let us also consider The Consolidated Treaty which, along with the original Treaty of Rome, basically prevents open trade with the Third World. The EU is little more than a protectionist, customs union. "So what?" I hear you say. "It's all so boring and complicated."
All too true but this attitude KILLS people. (Oxfam has stood up publicly against the terrible things it is responsible for.)
The EU sells us subsidised food - often at TWICE what it would cost on world markets. So we are made poorer but this is nothing compared to Third World nations who could, in many cases, dig their way out of poverty if only they had access to our markets.
To think. Some Christians actually support this horrific organisation!
