EuroTards

Last month, as you may remember, the idiocrats in the European Union declared that drinking water does not hydrate the human body, and that claims to that effect would make one liable for prosecution.

Well, a British MP has hoisted them by their own petards, so to speak. He discovered an EU-sponsored ad for milk, which had this to say:

"You may not have known, but a large part of milk is actually water. So, if you regularly drink milk, you can stay hydrated at the same time."


Oopsies. Did we say that?

Says Paul Nuttall, the MP who filed the complaint:

"These people think that they can lay down the law that they have created no matter how absurd and threaten individuals and businesses with criminal sanctions.

“In this case, though, It appears that the EU just doesn't know its backside from its elbow."


Oh dear. Is that a Eurocrack in the vaunted Eurosolidarity of the European Union? Seems all is not roses in Euroland after all, eh?

Further hissing and spitting:

Denouncing the ruling last month, Conservative MEP Roger Helmer said: “This is stupidity writ large.

“The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true.

“If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it.”


Such vitriol. Definitely not roses. Hate to say I told you so, but... well, you know.

Big Nasty EuroWar in five... four...
