Industry needs our help, not regulation.

An article by Matthias Wissman in FAZ criticises the EU’s “regulation fury”, arguing that over regulation has led to a “sinking number of EU member states where industry is a genuine concern. In a Union which consists of 27 member states, the weights have shifted. Countries without industrial heartlands are building majorities and gaining influence”. He notes this is “especially visible in environmental and climate policy. Central institutions as the Council and the Commission do not show here sufficient understanding of the industrial value added by the automotive, chemical or mechanical engineering industries. Month after month new regulations are being created”.

European Arrest Warrant Opt Out

The “Campaign for Britain to opt out of the European Arrest Warrant” has a facebook page� on which it records the following, “The British Government and courts are powerless to protect anyone who becomes the subject of a European Arrest Warrant. In addition, the accused is denied the right to challenge the warrant before he or she is spirited overseas. The warrant was agreed by EU leaders including Tony Blair and introduced in 2004. Labour ministers signed up in the belief it would speed up justice and improve relations between EU countries. Last year, 1,032 Britons were extradited abroad to face trial but just 98 foreign nationals were brought here to face criminal charges. Far from rowing back the powers handed to foreign courts, the coalition Government has just extended them. Last month Home Secretary Theresa May signed up to the European Investigation Order, the partner to the European Arrest Warrant. It allows foreign police to travel to the UK and take part in the arrest of Britons, place them under surveillance, monitor bank accounts and demand DNA samples. As soon (or if) as petitions are up and running again on the Downing Street website we will start one. Meanwhile, [...]

Death by EU rules

According to the UKIP forum e-newsletter from 12-07-10,� Thousands of foreign nurses will be allowed to work in Britain without any safety checks because EU rules demand that the tests are axed. They will not need to sit rigorous competence exams before treating NHS patients. And they will no longer even be required to show they have looked after patients in the past three years. Critics say the change will ‘almost certainly’ lead to lives being lost. The Nursing and Midwifery Council will stop administering the tests in the autumn after being told it could be sued by the European Commission for breaking EU law on ‘freedom of movement’ for workers from the Continent.

EU Waste

According to the UKIP forum e-newsletter, “Potty Brussels pen-pushers handed more than �160,000 to a dance group who perform ‘spectacular belching’ and ‘smelly foot’ jigs. The taxpayers’ cash was given to the London-based Flying Gorillas troupe who use “rhythm, music and gibberish? to ‘explore friendship and tolerance’.” Just madness! Another �166,849 went to help a German street theatre group build a “large dragon which can breathe fire and small smoking volcanoes on wheels”. And a staggering �400million was paid out in grants to projects around the world about which no details have been released because they are described as “Confidential”. While some of the “confidential” cash is being used for schemes in Afghanistan, a staggering 79.6million pounds went to a South African aid project, with another 65.9million pounds for a neighbourhood project in Moldova. With the rest of us being hit by cuts, isn’t it about we got out of the EU and saved the �6.4bn a year we dole out so wastefully? The sooner the better!

A Cure for the NHS

At long last we are hearing some good news. The coalition is backing the UKIP policy to get rid of the 150 primary care trusts and strategic health authorities that are the biggest causes of waste in the NHS. At present, funds are given by the Government to primary care trusts, which pay for patients from their area to be treated in hospital. Under the new plans, GPs ? who are currently not responsible for paying for hospital referrals ? would receive the money instead and pay the hospitals directly and, what is more, the change will be compulsory. There are, of course, concerns about putting so much money (�60-�80bn) in the hands of GPs, but hopefully the new system will be less bureaucratic and give doctors and patients more control over treatment. GPs will also have to organise out-of-hours services, which may see family doctors offering 24-hour care once again. The welcome loss of wasteful bureaucrat’s job , could well run into tens of thousands and is also likely to lead to outcry from public sector trade unions, who seem not to have realised that overspending is not an option.

More Met Madness

The met office have put out a heatwave warning. Not because temperatures may exceed the 30�C, but because the temperature might drop overnight into the 20s and kill some people!!!! Mmmm
