It did not escape our attention that the EU Commission has "given permission" for Northern Rock to be broken up and for the "good bit" to resume normal business.
Let's just run that by you again.
The EU Commission has given that action it's permission.
As part of this great act of kindness toward us, the British taxpayer has to give Northern Rock's good bits another loan of £8 BILLION to help it out.
On the day we find out our servicemen in Afghanistan died directly as a result of Whitehall cost-cutting.
Of course, we the British taxpayer spend a fortune on fees - millions and billions - to belong to the all-powerful European Empire. Whether we like it or not. And for the overwhelming majority of us, the answer to that is 'not'.
Apparently, in the next few days, the said same EU Commission is to issue a proclamation decreeing which parts of their business the Lloyds TSB Group and Royal Bank of Scotland will have to sell-off.
Yup, the EU will decide that.
We might not like the (b)ankers. We definitely do not like the European Empire.
However, it's a story or two worth noting.
And this is even before the Lisbon Treaty comes into being...
Just to make you feel better about all of this, we now discover that Britain is to lose her rebate and the European Empire intend to create a European tax which will enable them to pick our pockets directly.
Could anyone make any of this up?
