Re the shuffling of quangoes onto the EU; whilst I disagree with the concept of the EU, I think this idea is a masterstroke: we have just as many people doing useless things, but not on the dole and still spending money into our economy, but we are no longer paying for them. So long as our contributions to the EU remain unchanged, we are onto a winner. It's like someone with a pay-as-you go mobile and an all-calls-inclusive landline switiching all their calls to the landline.
