Brits for the EU!

In the blogosphere, there are a lot of English language websites that voice a very negative opinion against the EU, and even more against the EU Constitution.  Sometimes, the EU, along with the UN, is seen as the result of a vast conspiracy against freedom, morality, Christ,  and curved bananas.
Curved bananas? Well, if you don't know about this Euromyth (i.e. alleged EU regulations threatening the daily lives of - mostly British - innocent citizens), please read the  informative Straight Banana blog.
Another great europhile British blog is Lose the Delusion ("Proudly battling euroscepticism").  I recommend you read this very funny piece, about US Christians believing that the EU is actually the Beast:

Another interesting log is the formerly eurosceptic Europhobia ("   The musings of a non-partisan one-time Eurosceptic turned pro-European and his far better-informed friends"). Once again, I find that the use of facts made in this blog is a great way to dispel rumors and partisan beliefs.  Please, visit these sites regularly.

The point about bendy bananas is not that the rule exists, for as is pointed out, there were similar trade classifications for bananas before the new rules. The point is that it is now criminal friggin law not a voluntary agreement between buyers and sellers of bananas, an irruption of the Civil Code into a Common Law system.
C’mon, seriously, do you think the world is a better place now that pissing off a supermarket gets you three months chokey?
