ALTHOUGH I'm pro-European, I must admit that I share the concerns of the UK Independence Party regarding unelected bureaucrats being given power to govern and rule the people of Britain - with little thought as to what effect their policies will have as long as their own comfortable lifestyles are unaffected.

I am, of course, referring to those unelected bureaucrats known as the monarchy and the House of Lords!
