[QUOTE="macabee, post: 1957901, member: 38990"] I doubt coffee would be successfully be grown in the UK outside of hothouses, as coffee is grown in equatorial regions of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas']the Americas[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia']Southeast Asia[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_subcontinent']Indian subcontinent[/URL], and Africa. As far as the EU goes, I voted against staying in the common market in 1975 [as 2016] I did not want to be ruled by a bureaucratic elite based in Brussels, the intention has always been the federalisation of Europe. Jean Monnet considered one of the founding fathers of the European Union said in 1943 'There will be no peace in Europe, if the states are reconstituted on the basis of national sovereignty... The countries of Europe are too small to guarantee their peoples the necessary prosperity and social development. The European states must constitute themselves into a [B]federation[/B]..." For me the issue has always been the absolute sovereignty of our Parliament to make our laws, as we can change governments by general election, by the people for the people. Instead we have an external body, the EU commission [un-elected by us] handing down directives [*see below] written by EU civil servants, rubber stamped by the EU parliament. As the following states a regulation has to be passed by our parliament without any change, therefore our parliament elected by us has not been sovereign since the passing European Communities Act 1972 The Act provided for the incorporation into UK law of the whole of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Community_law']European Community law[/URL] and its "[I][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquis_communautaire']acquis communautaire[/URL][/I]": its Treaties, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_(European_Union)']Regulations[/URL] and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(European_Union)']Directives[/URL], together with judgments of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Justice_of_the_European_Union']European Court of Justice[/URL]. As far as EU regulations our Parliament can only 'rubber stamp' them directly into UK law, we are powerless to do otherwise. I think after all that my BG remains manageable *The legal basis for the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enactment_of_a_bill']enactment[/URL] of directives is Article 288 of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Functioning_of_the_European_Union']Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union[/URL] (formerly Article 249 [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_establishing_the_European_Community']TEC[/URL]). [B]Article 288[/B] To exercise the Union's competences, the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutions_of_the_European_Union']institutions[/URL] shall adopt regulations, directives, decisions, recommendations and opinions. A [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_(European_Union)']regulation[/URL] shall have general application. It shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. A directive shall be binding, as to the result to be achieved, upon each [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_state_of_the_European_Union']Member State[/URL] to which it is addressed, but shall leave to the national [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authority']authorities[/URL] the choice of form and methods. A [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_(European_Union)']decision[/URL] shall be binding in its entirety upon those to whom it is addressed. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recommendation_(European_Union)']Recommendations[/URL] and opinions shall have no binding force. With assistance from Wikipedia [/QUOTE]
