#2 Try Duck Soup instead. "Remember, we're fighting for this woman's Honor, which is probably more than She ever did".
The EU is seriously devolving into a Dictatorship.

#3 It's true to form, Deacon: the Euros invented statism, and they've always been more comfortable with that kind of goverance. The democratic anarchy of the United States gives them the heebie-jeebies.

#4 They should change the name to Holy Roman European Union, except they reject Christianity and have a rotating presidency.

#7 If any form of pleasure is exhibited,
Report to me and it will be prohibited!
The last man nearly ruined this place he didn't know what to do with it.
If you think this country's bad off now, just wait till I get through with it!
The country's taxes must be fixed, and I know what to do with it.
If you think you're paying too much now, just wait till I get through with it!

"Gentlemen, the European Union regulators here may talk like idiots, and look like idiots, but don't let that fool you: they really are idiots."

#8 It's the same old EU bureaufascism. Those idiots think that if they are poached rather than fried in statist totalitarianism, it's all golden.

CF the Nameless One.

#9 "This is an issue with any kind of ethnic type of food where they may well be using catering equipment imported from outside the EU"

Income stream security, as a religion.
