Some real doozies in there. I had to get selective here and eventually stop there were so many outright lies. They really had it in for the EU.
Alcohol sales – EU ‘bans boozing’, Feb 2005
Baby rattles – EC to ban noisy toys, Jan 1996
Bagpipes – EU safety directives to ban playgrounds, trapeze artists and bagpipes, Aug 2005
Playgrounds? Lol!
Balloons – EU bans children from blowing up balloons, Oct 2011
Chinese toys – Chinese toy imports are to be banned unless humanlike in form, Jul 1994
Clothing, zips – EU plans to ban zipper trousers, May 1999
Cod – Cod no longer to be called cod thanks to EU, Sep 2001
And on and on and on....It's some list!
