Though on the flip side the EU working time regs must make thier lives magnitudes more difficult than the banana issue.
If that is the case, why can we not hear an unapologetic defence of it from those with pro-EU leanings? Blair has been dithering about promoting Europe for seven whole years. He has the nerve to stand up now and define the debate as 'myth versus reality', but he has allowed those with anti-EU leanings to shape and define the debate for years. He can hardly be surprised by what he finds. How on earth does he expect to turn opinion round, after giving his opponents such a huge head start? If he fails to win the constitution referendum, he won't have to look far to find someone to blame.
