Let me get this right then - The EU lodged a complaint with the EU? :?
We do it often, within our own system. Legislation is passed, Joe Bloggs gets a court ruling saying the interpretation is in his/her favour. Government thinks that'll cause unintended consequence and challenges lower court ruling through our own judicial system.

If I was trying seriously to change anyone's mind, I wouldn't be doing it here on this forum.

What with one worlder's and people who'd sell their grannies as quick as their country's sovereignty so they can line their pockets and flit about all over the EU? (there are one or two exceptions of course)

Apparently, Pru might be able to help here, given his recent visit to Amsterdam's Red Light district.... :-)

I spent the whole weekend playing Euro hokey cokey but was pretty set on out this morning. Then I saw the Sun headline promoting exit. I'm not sure I can vote for anything that Rupert Murdoch endorses. I think I'll just have to see how I feel on the day

Aye. It's an odd feeling. I've never been so close to an election before without knowing for certain which way I'd be voting

Rupert Murdoch
Boris Johnson
Michel Gove
John Whittingdale
George Galloway
Iain Duncan-Smith
Chris Grayling
John Redwood
Nigel Farage
Katie Hopkins

and you can bet your bottom dollar, rouble and franc that Trump, Putin and Le Pen would be delighted if we took our ball back.

That doesn't mean to say that I think all is hunky dory in Euroland but I shudder the thought of that lot being given the political whip hand in the aftermath (part of which will almost inevitably be the break up of the UK).

Love it or hate it, the one thing the Sun is good at though is managing to back the right horse. If they're saying exit, we're probably going to exit.
