The sole purpose of rags like the Daily Express, the Daily mail and the Daily Telegraph is to give Tory and UKIP supporters attacks of apoplexy during breakfast. "Brussels days that we have to have straight bananas! Are we the only country stupid enough to follow these rules?" No dear readers, you are the only people silly enough to believe these stories.
"When one reads headlines like the one shown here in the Daily Express, it feels like we have been transported into some parallel universe where reality has been inverted, and where stupidity and ignorance are what pass for intelligence."

"FRENCH MUSLIMS USE OUR CASH TO FIGHT BURKHA BAN
A FRENCH Muslim couple sparked fury yesterday by using a free legal service paid for by British taxpayers to challenge their country’s controversial burkha ban.
The unnamed husband and wife claim they were forced to move to Britain from France by the new law which prevents women wearing the veil in public.
They want £10,000 damages because the “unnecessary, disproportionate and unlawful” ban breaches their right to free movement across the European Union.
Now based in the West Midlands, they are trying to overturn the law at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
The couple are represented by lawyers from Britain’s Immigration Advisory Service which gets an annual £15million in taxpayers’ cash.
And what should be hidden in the bottom of the article?
[teh Immigration Advisory Service] receives approximately £15million – a hefty chunk of its funding – in taxpayers’ cash, through the Legal Services Commission which hands out legal aid.
But a Legal Services spokesman said that even if taxpayer-funded IAS lawyers were representing the couple, that service would not be paid for by legal aid.
He added that they only gave legal aid to cases involving British law and concerned with immigration.
A whole article wrongly ranting about foreign muslims coming over here and spending our money fighting foreign law with a lil’ bit contradictory truth at the end."
