Hamza was a nutter but the rule of law prevailed with the EU court coming to the same conclusion as the UK courts.

If it is so clear cut as to why being in the EU is such a bad thing we would have numerous tangible personal examples of how people have been negatively affected by EU law - I would like to hear one.
My point is that these things are a matter of personal ideology and beliefs.....how many people voting Labour at the last election, truly believe that their lives will alter?.....Labour might spend more on hospitals or schools or benefits, how does that help anyone on here and what about the rising government debt that someday, someone has to pay for? Most of the changes will go un-noticed but people still scream left or right...look at this forum!

The EU has grown rapidly and exponentially from the 7 or 8 members in 1975 who wanted a Common Market....depending on which argument you believe (are EU directives really laws?) between 18% and 62% of our laws, rules and regulations are made in Brussels, and even Tony Benn, before his death said "this is madness" for a country to hand over it's proud sovereignty to an un-elected foreign body....there are-were talks of an EU army and Turkey joining ie another 80 million Muslims wandering around Europe....IMO, it's madness and it's better that we are out.
