UK And EU May Make Unsolicited Email Illegal
An anonymous reader writes "According to this BBC article the UK and the EU are planning to making unsolicited email simply illegal. This doesn't do anything for prevention practically, but it does legally pave the way for measures that do. Lord Sainsbury of Turville admits it will do nothing to stop spam from outside the EU."
Fuck them... fuck them in the asshole...
I can't imagine! Why would anyone bother deciding who gets next year's bribes? Is suppose it spreads the money around a bit and gives everyone a chance at the trough, although I do think it's about time Brittan and Kinnock got their snouts out; how long have they been their now?
And what's this EU symbol doing on my driving licence?
Its reminding you that you are owned by corporate interests and can forget about the right to have your own country with your own democratic system and laws that reflect your culture (which is just as well since it'll probably soon be illegal to have your own culture and be in the EU at the same time).
One person: one vote; one million euros: one million votes.

But that's the intent of closer EU integration. It's not needed for any other reason. Cultural differences are seen as bad for business (tiny example: Snickers. Printing wrappers specially for the UK was not efficent, therefor the name was brought into line. The exact same reasoning brought in the Euro, from tiny items like sweet wrappers to huge issues of national power the same philosophy powers all EU thinking: make life easier for big business, don't worry about anyone else).
It's also a viewpoint most vehemently held by xenophobic right-wing little Engerlanders.
I'm an anarchic left-wing Norn Irish that thinks we should encourage cultural diversity, so you're a bit off there.
The current organisation of the EU may be seriously flawed, but that doesn't make the concept bad.
Why? What evidence do you have that a sprawling organisation set up for the purpose of increasing the power of businesses can possibly ever work for the benefit of ordinary people? The whole system is designed from the ground up to reduce the input of voters and increase the input of business. What's good about that concept?
What does the EU actually do for us? Sod all apart from the ability to buy lots of things made by Chinese prisoners. It costs us money, it wastes money, it does nothing we couldn't do for ourselves, including happily trading with other countries. It is time that the whole thing was junked and the fat bastards that run it were turned out to get real jobs. You know, ones where you have to actually know something about the job instead of just being handed it for doing what you're told.

I'm British (well, English...) and I'm i live in London. NO `brit' (btw i find that term offensive) wants anything to do with the EU, we don't want their trade their languages their currency or their evilness. The EU is banning all gameshows which give out over 70,000, i.e Who wants to be a Millionnaire is going to have to change or be banned, THATS HOW stooopid the Europeans are. Britain is Britain, the political alliance of England, Scotland and Wales, we are our own union, we don't want European trash, and we're not in Europe, infact our land hasn't been `Europe' for 5,000-6,500 years. Europe is crazy, this is one of the things that prove it.
