The E U Explained.

by joebangles @ 29/06/2007 - 12:49:46

I found this in the Daily Express, Frederick Forsyth column,

"Two days after you read this the UK will become a virtually smoke- free zone. This will hugely please the E U, from whom we derive almost all our Health 'n' Safety dictates.

So you might think the EU will stop growing tobacco, not a chance.

Inside the EU, tobacco growing is heavily subsidised and mostly by British taxpayers. It is mainly the Greeks who grow it. Last year our contribution to the EU was £4 billion. Of our money £466 million went to subsidise the Greek tobacco farmers.

Well, you might think, at least some EU smokers benefited from the rip-off of the Brits. Wrong again, the Euro tobacco is so harsh it is unsmokable.

So, the Health 'n' Safety Gestapo burn it? not a bit of it. The stuff is exported to Africa. A nice bit of covert racism. This garbage is not good enough for us but useful for giving cancer to Africans. And the Greeks pocket the proceeds.

So, why on earth is British tax money used to subsidise Greek growers of unsmokable tobacco? Well, put it this way: why do you think the Greek government is a fanatical supporter of Brussels?

Now you know.".
