"Mr President, here we have more legislation from the EU sausage machine to waste UK civil servants’ time and confuse citizens. I have listened to debates on the length of chickens’ beaks, inquiries into how much wine there is in a wine[nbsp ]gum and facts about rotten fruit leading to drunken reindeer which then savage people. The message-tapping CIA must be bored out of their tiny minds. You would serve your countries better by staying at home and chewing cardboard. There was a time when the British thought the Italians were amusing: ignoring the rules after making so many. We now understand that an over-supply of silly rules leads to disrespect for the law, and pedestrian crossings become suitable only for those with a suicidal tendency. We have far too much law. EU rules are openly broken and are not enforced by the Commission. This puts those who obey the rules into an adverse trading position. The failure to enforce EU law on the size of chicken cages, causing problems with egg production, is just one very costly example. Should you have further rules and mad-cap ideas up your sleeves, I suggest you shove them up your armholes or, like the Italians, make love not law. UKIP backs Westminster as the place where UK law must be made. For these reasons, UKIP will vote against this new law."@en1
