The problem with Abu Hanza was down to European Human Rights legislation which is nothing to do with the EU.
Successive Labour and coalition governments ducked the obvious solution, however there's a report in today's Sunday Times that suggests the government will shortly "change domestic law to make clear that parliament is sovereign and Britain's courts are not bound by Europe's Charter of Fundamental Rights."
As to the EU, I thought we joined a Common Market of like countries, and the ever expanding inclusion of countries to the east is of no interest to me. I don't see that the UK has anything in common with Roumania, Bulgaria and the Baltic States, let alone the possible expansion to include Turkey, Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania and Serbia. No wonder the Russians got the heebie jeebies over Ukraine.
We were wrong to focus on European trade over that with the Commonwealth nations.
