Straightening Those Cucumbers

I can't improve on the comment made on the Bruges Group Blog about the inanity of the EU 'wonky' fruit story. The EU, like our own government, is not averse to lying about itself without shame.

I also wonder what has been going on behind the scenes between ex-EU spivmeister Mandelson and his former EU parasites-in-arms to allow the government to delay the tendering process for the Post Office card account till 2015 (it being due for renewal in 2010 as a requirement under EU regulations). Not a mention of the EU in any of the news reports, of course.

So Baron Mandy is proving useful, after all.

Taken with the various moves made by different countries to cope with the banking crisis, we seem to be witnessing the EU quietly changing its own rules.
