Five market traders had their
convictions, for selling food in traditional imperial weights instead
of metric, upheld by the courts.
Editor's comment: This
just goes to show that we are no longer a sovereign nation in charge of
our own affairs. The men were convicted using regulations brought in by
Brussels, without OUR elected MP's consent, that overrule the Weights
and Measures law passed by OUR Parliament. At least if we are not happy
with our MP's we have a chance to vote them off. Who in the European Union
is responsible for these regulations? I don't know. You don't know; so
what business have they in telling us how to sell our food. Every year
thousands of these laws and regulations are brought in from Brussels without
our consent which means in the very least that you can now be criminalized
for thousands of things which before were perfectly legal and harmless.
Another point; it takes thousands and thousands of pounds of tax payers
money to take these people to court when these jumped up jobworths have
absolutely no mandate from the English people to do so. Does it really
matter?.
