GORDON BROWN’S claims that British companies are losing out unfairly in the battle for European public contracts backfired yesterday when the European Commission revealed that it was investigating the Scottish Parliament for allegedly breaching EU rules.

The Commission also pointed out that Britain was one of the few European countries not to have fully implemented rules designed to ensure a level playing field.

The Chancellor published a report yesterday that claimed that European governments were unfairly favouring their own national companies in the £1,000 billion-a-year contracts market.

I didn't think it would take long for retribution from the EU. The fact is all that Gorden Brown said is true, and only scrapes the tip of the iceberg. The EU project is all important, it must be steam rollered through by fair means or foul. Do not question it, do not fight against it. You will be assimilated, resistance is futile!
