Unintentionally making the eurosceptics' argument

Unintentionally making the eurosceptics' argument

my notes ( ? )

A good pro-EU article ends with: "How dare these foreigners impose on us clean beaches, food labelling, consumer protection, lead-free petrol, road safety, access to healthcare abroad, cheaper mobile phone charges and real chocolate? ... If we want to bathe in sewage, landfill our countryside, guzzle mechanically recovered meat, and pay through the nose for substandard goods and services, surely that’s up to us." - I feel both British and European. What's so strange about that? - Comment - Voices - The Independent Well, yes, quite. I'd say most eurosceptics would agree with this without any sense of irony. Probably not what the author intended. PS Of course, the 'healthcare abroad' and cheaper *roaming* mobile charges benefits are not imposed on anyone in the UK, until they actually leave it.
