The only thing England has opted out of is adopting the euro. Pitty they dont opt out of that pile of human rights tulipe.

Think there are still opt-outs on the WTD and various things under the Amsterdam treaty covering things like common visa/immigration policies and judicial/police procedures, Schengen etc.

Still, whether the average person, i.e. 'Joe Public', could figure out which things we've agreed to and which not is anyones guess.

People who complain about human rights laws should get a few months tour in Russian prisons where people are rotting away while awayting trial for years.

Actually that's us since the UK still has an opt-out on lots of things.

But then thats a bit like crime isnt it. Hard on the easy things, different story on the hard stufff (you can merely look at your neighbours wrong and end up getting arrested BUT if you murder someone you get let off without any problems!)

The French method is to implement it (after threat of penalties from the EU) and more wisely choose the interpretation which best reflects their culture.

Unemployed layabout told to get off his arse and work!

Any see that unemployed piece of scum who has been camping outside parliament has been told he can be evicted? Not before time I tells you!

And to think, another couple years camped outside Parliament and he could have claimed squatters rights to the land he has been forcebly inhabiting!

BUT apparently he can go to the House of Lords (and when they tell him to get a job) the European Court of Human Rights (or what ever that collection of pc goons is called). We should do what the frogs do (and muslims) and just pick and chose which EU legislation we want to follow!
