Here's a wheeze. I've just thought up this bloody brilliant idea. Instead of making up our own laws, let's outsource the whole shebang to some Frenchies, Belgians and Germans. What can possibly go wrong? Picture the scene...
UK: Hello EU chaps, we have caught some of these foreign jonnies, terroristy types, any chance we can deport them back to whence they came?
EU: Er, No.
UK: These fishy thingies we keep catching, can we keep them?
EU: Er, no.
UK: Er, why not?
EU: Because we bloody well said so.
UK: Can you explain please?
EU: We don't need to explain anything, matey, we make up the rules round here. You would do well to remember that.
UK: 'Scuse me, you mean to say "you make all the rules"?
EU: Yup
UK: And at some point we voted for that?
EU: Do we look that stupid? We prefer that nobody ever votes on anything.. Could be bad for morale.
UK: So if we choose to become members, we have to sit down and shut up?
EU: Basically, yes.
UK: And how much is the membership fee?
EU: Let's start you off at our reduced rate, let's say £300m a week?
UK: Bargain. Where do I sign?
