I am with JH on this. The EU has a lamentable record on trade and the idea that a dyed in the wool socialist like Mandelson is going to any good in his role is fantastical.

He will do what they all do; interests of french farmers fist.

Ellee, I take it you’re aware of the EU’s regional proposals and RDAs. This comes as no surprise. The EU’s modus operandi is market fixing.

PS – Elle, I did have one eye on whistleblowers last night, whilst doing other things – so I may have seen him, and not noticed. Hope you did video it, and we’ll get an exert on YouTube (or wherever).
PPS – It was a curious topic too. The conflict of interest between ‘alcopops’ marketing, underage drinking, and manufacturing jobs?
and local council planning committee licensing to build a new factory?

Is he still around,
gosh he’s outlived Blair.

Can’t comment on this. It is npt only far too complex, but can at best only be a mish mash of compromises. The more one puts on print the more one can criticise
