Rules? What rules? 'No' vote? What 'no' vote? Now give us your bank account details...

The Daily Telegraph today reports on how the European Commission may face legal action against it after intervening in the forthcoming Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty - the vote that most people of Europe have been denied but which the Irish are having to do a second time because the European Empire didn't like the first answer which was a resounding 'no'.

The EU is accused of breaching rules by inserting a 16-page propaganda leaflet into 1.1 million Irish national newspapers.

The Telegraph reports that the EU even called in lawyers for advice before going ahead with their attempts at influencing the vote.

Meanwhile, the Daily Express is reporting on a new EU proposal to establish a new body which will spy on salaries, spending habits and the bank account transactions of people in all member states - including Britain and Ireland.

Conservative MP and proud patriot Bill Cash says: "It is a true mark of how British citizens have come to live under Britain’s undemocratic surveillance state where their personal data is shared across Europe, without their consent or knowledge. This makes a mockery of Labour’s data protection legislation which does not protect people and it demonstrates the futility of so-called human rights legislative protection".

UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom says of the proposal: "The idea that the Government is prepared to hand over personal data to Brussels is chilling. Time and time again the state seems to think the answer to every problem is a new database. Then they lose or give away our data".

In other news, the really nasty, freedom-hating ZaNuLiebour party have dropped to third in the polls, behind the Liberal Democrats.

Hopefully, the British public will give these evil control freaks such a bloody nose when we finally get an election that they will self-destruct - never to impose their complete police state, ban everything, civil liberty eroding powers on us ever again.

We can but hope.
