We are leaving the EU to get away from these rules - EXPRESS COMMENT

ANOTHER day, yet another raft of rules from the EU clearly designed to intimidate us as we prepare to leave. This time round it's an attempt to force us to accept 37 new directives during the "implementation" phase after we quit the bloc: we should tell the Brussels officials, in the politest possible way, that we have no intention of following those proposals or indeed anything else.

Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission and PM Theresa May

One of the numerous reasons this country decided to leave the EU in the first place is exactly this: endless amounts of needless bureaucracy and red tape cluttering up businesses and hampering our lives.

In order to justify their existence, to say nothing of exorbitant salaries and pension pots, the unelected bureaucrats of Brussels have to endlessly find new proposals, new restrictions, new anything to prove why they should be there.

Well we in Britain have had enough of it: we do not want yet more EUinitiated red tape. Nor is it remotely just in any way that we should be forced to accept directives over which we would have no right of veto. We have been far too ready to act in accordance with EU objectives in the past while other countries have simply ignored them.

Now we are taking our future back into our own hands and that means no more EU nonsense. The word is "non". Or perhaps "nein".

Gheorghe Mihai had warned he would murder someone before launching a savage knife attack.

Why was this killer here?

IF EVER there was a case that summed up the reason we are right to leave the EU it is that of Gheorghe Mihai.

This horrible man, already convicted of murder in his native Romania, arrived in this country telling people he wanted to kill again, launched a savage and unprovoked attack on his sister-in-law and very nearly succeeded in his ambition.

He has been found guilty of attempted murder and will be sentenced later in the year.

But why was he here in the first place? Why are we allowing convicted killers to enter this country? It is absolute madness and a direct dereliction of duty to the people of the UK.

The first and most important duty of any government is to protect its citizens: from external attack and internal threat.

Men like this should never be allowed into the country again.

The Tunnock's Tea Cake ad was banned.

Yet more sexism madness 

STILL the madness goes on: Tunnock's Tea Cakes has become the latest to be felled by the current hysteria about sexism, with an ad featuring a tennis player holding a tea cake on her thigh withdrawn after just one complaint.

All sense of proportion has gone totally out of the window - this is insanity.

Where is it all going to end?
