Derek Bennett, needs a beer in the Lyndon in Walsall to get his head around EU mayhem.It’s now Friday and this past week as not just been a slow blogging week, it has been a zero blogging week on this site due to far too many other things to do this last week.
Despite this, the EU problem has not gone away and, sadly, the colleagues in the dark recesses of the European Union are still finding ways to regulate and ensure our lives are an increasing bureaucratic pain in the backside of the EU.
The fiscal misery in many parts of the European Union, such as the desperate situation in Greece with many struggling to make ends meet, growing unemployment and debt in Spain, Portugal and Italy still going on as the euro continues through its long drawn out death throes, is just part of the EU inflicted misery that blights the lives of many.
Mario Draghi is doing is utmost to save the EU’s euro, but if even the Guardian newspaper think its vanity currency is doomed, then Mr Draghi is on a beating to nowhere. His latest wheeze is the promise, sort of, of unlimited funds for the Eurozone countries who are struggling, ironically, because they joined the euro instead of sensibly staying with their own sovereign currencies and control of their own economies.
If Mario Draghi and the EU’s leaders really did want to help to make the lives better for the people of Europe and begin the process of recovery, then rather than the stupidly of adding to the misery by trying to save the doomed euro, they should be enacting plans for an orderly return to national currencies and the end of their failed project along with the closure of the European Central Bank – but sadly their project is placed above the well being of the people who no longer seem to count as far as they are concerned.
As well as all this, motorists will soon be finding out how the EU has devised ways of adding to their driving woes. If petrol and diesel at their highest prices are not already a pain in the steering wheel, along with speed cameras, congestion charging, talk of road pricing and congested roads, now the EU wants to make it almost impossible for a great many perfectly safe cars to get through their MOT’s.
An EU directive that is due to be implemented in the not too distant future will stipulate that any vehicle that has been modified will fail its MOT. This, presumably applies to every part of all cars, anyone fitting a windscreen wiper that is not made by the vehicles original manufacturer, feasibly, will fail its MOT. Young lads who fit go-faster spoilers and other bits and bobs to their micro cars to make them look, in their eyes like Ferrari’s, will fail too, even though they have not undermined the safety of their vehicles. This is an almighty classic EU created cock up that is, when imposed, is going to create confusion and havoc and MOT failures galore.
As well as this, the Scottish SDP administration, are proposing to bring down the drink-drive levels in Scotland to those used in the rest of the EU, no doubt to prove to our EU masters what a good little, subservient, EU toadie Alex Salmond is. This is going to create confusion and mayhem for those living on the Scottish borders.
Any motorist who is over the new extremely low limit in Scotland who heads south, will be illegal until they cross the border where, hey presto, they are within the limit. Going the other way a driver within the English safe limit may become illegal as he/she crosses the border. All this drives you to drink – I will certainly be having a beer or two this evening in the Lyndon House Hotel in Walsall just to get my head around it all.
