We are not a sovereign nation any more...
Slightly older news, but its worth reading....
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...portaltop.html
TB, PM, has in fact quietly signed away the UKs right to restrict the number of immigrants to the UK last year.
"A rolling wave of protocols and directives - one in force, one coming next month, a third next year and a fourth in 2007 - have overridden national laws on where governments keep asylum seekers, how they treat them, and how many appeals they are allowed."
Trust me, I'm Tony!
Vivre NL!!!!!!

We are still a soveriegn nation, at least until we are bulldozed or conned into accepting the Eu constitution. At the moment we could still renegotiate all these terms that have been signed away by NL on the quiet.
We need a government that is not committed to do the Eu bidding in order to keep them sweet so that the good Eu jobs come their way in the future.
At the moment this country is likely to be sold down the river if we are stupid enough to become federated with the Eu.

The whole thing stinks.
The whole thing stinks.
They have effectively become an arm of the New Labour propagandea machine as we saw with their reporting of the rigged RAC speeding poll yesterday.

Yes it has been pretty apparent that the new governors appear to have decided to suppress any real criticism of NL now. They will all do very well and get their KCMG's in due course!

Given that we are expected to enact EU Directives into our law within 3 years of their passing, I thought we hadn't been particularly sovereign since 1973. What's changed?
