		<description><![CDATA[As it&#8217;s not April 1st today I assume that I have to believe this sorry story from the BBC. Seems like that bastion of financial accountability, the European Empire, has splashed out Â£12 million (yes you read that right) on a study into organic food and I quote:

		<description><![CDATA[From England Expects comes this tale of European democracy in action. Read it and weep:
&#8220;During voting on a report by Mr. Kaczmarek on &#8220;EU partnership in the Horn of Africa&#8221;, amendment No. 5 was declared &#8220;Rejected&#8221; by the chairman Vidal Quadras, having assessed the show of hands &#8220;for&#8221; and &#8220;against&#8221; the amendment.

It&#8217;s a great idea but I just don&#8217;t think that any of us are really ready to call ourselves &#8216;Europeans&#8217;. I don&#8217;t think that many even [...]]]></description>

It seems that in a little known and media ignored report that the Commission published in July 2004 &#8211; 18 months ago &#8211; the deal struck between our beloved leader and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to thank GavPOLITICS for reprinting an euro-briefing from MEP Daniel Hannan commenting on the Great Budget Climbdown. The entire piece is well worth a read but a couple of choice statistics caught my eye:
Even after the rebate, the United Kingdom remains the second-highest contributor to the EU budget. Indeed, for most of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came across this alarming statistic today at EU Referendum which just seemed too important not to comment on.
Of the 22,000 pieces of legislation on the EU statute book, about 12,000 have been introduced in the eight years since 1997, compared to 10,000 during the forty years from 1957 to 1997.
Actually, this hardly needs any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Anglo Saxon Chronicle helpfully informed me this morning that today, 100 years ago, Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. My capacity for understanding physics is probably on a par with that of a chicken so I always thought this theory meant that time spent in the company of relatives always went much [...]]]></description>

For the first time in its 53-year existence, the European Court of Justice has given the Commission in Brussels the power to impose criminal sanctions. In a landmark [...]]]></description>
