    Railway employees on massively higher salaries than university professors,
    95% non-contributory pensions for life at early retirement age (hell, this sounds like Brasil's 100% for politicians!),
    hairdressers in the Essential protected employment category . .
    . . Fido (I think it was) was right; this is a serious basket-case country with the lunatics already in charge of the asylum!

    Did they think that the EU budget was a crock of somebody else's gold just there for taking? Patently - Yes.

    And when the EU, etc, says 'It's payback time',
    I say (like Russel Casse) “Payback's a bitch, ain't it?”,
    and, in any case, 'sovereignty' is just a state of mind.

    - 'you took it, you spent it (badly), you pay it back' seems a totally appropriate maxim.
