Well said Surbie!

Good comment.

Thanks!   

Today's headlines about accountants providing practitioner detail on tax proposals are a perfect example of this.

Absobl**dylutely, Surbs!

Just do what you want, and forget the problems these fatheads have somewhere in Brussels!

We can't really bother any more about all their shenanigans, and we do just as we like!

Simple!

There is also a petition, albeit in German, here: http://helfen.global2000.at/de/node/19

The name of the petition is:
Gefahr für Saatgut durch neue Gesetze (threats to seed through new laws)

The petition is on the Arche Noah website (the site that Real Seeds refers to):
Fill in the boxes:

- Christian name
- Surname
- Email address
then click the small box to say you accept data protection conditions and finally, click the blue bar 'Jetzt unterstuetzen!' (which means ' support this cause now')

They are aiming for 120,000 signatures.

Thought I'd highlight this petition for anybody who has missed it!

I got the following rather limp reply from NSALG last week:

I have passed your email on to our legal advisor unfortunately because of the time restriction she will not be able to respond before next week due to other work commitments.

Here's hoping they do take action, but I won't hold my breath.

It appears that the National Allotment Society (NSALG) have taken action see their website www.nsalg.org.uk/category/news/

The EU frequently annoys me but this really does take the mick. If they pass and enforce this, the damage will be longer lasting than that terrible organisations stranglehold on Europe. It's beyond stupid antics, it's dangerous.

Yes, belatedly, they are asking people to email Ms Aston as we already asked you to do

What makes me fed up with all this, is that countless thousands of pounds are wasted in various 'offices', all over Yurrup, and loads of money is spent on 'research', much of it spurious to meet political ends, while real issues are left on the shelf.

I'd like to see some more positive funding coming to places like East Malling Research, who actually know what they're talking about.

Signed it.

I'd love to be an overpaid eurocrat, shed loads of money, make up barmy rules, support loads of duff research & pay companies to genetically modify everything we eat.

Old stuff was good enough & generally never killed anyone, what will GM maize do to human health in 50 years, I know force everyone to eat it, wait 50 years & say "oh, well, never mind", if it all goes wrong.

Sorry, nature knows best, not some Belgium guy in a suit.
