Sure it wasn't signed up to by the Blair government shortly after coming to power in 1997 and became law in 1998?
A quick Google points out that the UK was criticised and threatened with sanction for not implementing it fully but we were not compelled to implement it at all from what I can gather, voluntary choice by the government of the day.
My only real objection to this is that it's a government binding subsequent ones via the EU. Giving up the opt-out is, according to treaties, etc, irrevocable.

Phil/Thunderf00t handing Sargon his hindmost throughout this. I rather like his style. The arguments Sargon is using are the same ones many on this side use.
