I AM somewhat intrigued that people are constantly complaining about the ceding of sovereignty to Europe but no one seems in the least put out about the surrendering of sovereignty to America.
America is currently dictating what types of food we eat - bananas, genetically modified soya, wheat and maize, beef treated with growth hormones, etc.
Our government seems to slavishly follow American-dictated foreign policy, even though often it works against British interests.
Although a confirmed xenophobic Englishman, I would much rather see closer links with my fellow Europeans than with a corrupt society like America.
