Pollution

I don't know about you but I almost had an apoplectic fit on hearing that we Londoners are about to suffer smog from air pollutants as a result of the still, warm weather we are currently basking in. It was not the fact of the smog but being reminded that the EU has the power to fine us that caused me to choke. What the hell is our pollution to do with the EU? When we had proper smogs back in the day (ghastly expression) we did something about it. The Clean Air Act was promulgated and burning anything other than smokeless coal was banned within urban areas. Our problem, our solution. What made me choke even more is that the pollutants aren't even ours but have apparently been brought here on the easterly wind from mainland Europe which has been blowing these last few days and which despite the high temperature in sheltered areas makes life a little nippy if you are sitting in a draught. So if the EU wants to fine anybody they should fine those countries whose emissions are affecting our environment. Better though for the EU not to fine anybody and to take their sticky beak out of our business. It is bad enough our government imposing all sorts of nanny type regulations on us but for the EU to do so is frankly reason alone to leave the EU and put all those no doubt wholly intelligent stupid eurocrats out of a job. I have not even commentated yet on the increase in the EU budget these wholly intelligent stupid eurocrats want to impose on us. When will the explosion against the EU begin? It really must happen soon.
