Metric Martyrs Lose Appeal

(This posting from Ironies is being repeated here in protest at the lack of media coverage on this set back for the freedoms of everybody in Britain being allowed to pass unnoticed. We trust those interested in the goings on within UKIP will also be more than concerned at this lack of press and broadcast coverage. The morning post regarding UKIP follows directly beneath this post.)

The Metric Martyrs have lost their appeal in the European Court of Human Rights according to this BBC Report linked here.

Final proof, as if any more were needed, that there is no justice for the British from the European system. The very suggestion that we should be legally prohibited from buying our vegetables in pounds and ounces and measuring our children in feet and inches is so absurd as to beggar belief. One more nail in the coffin of the EU, and more backbone in the fight for justice from the British people I hope!

Amazingly the News Headlines at 8 o'clock on the BBC's flagship 'Today' Programme leads on Fat Britain, Free Fertility Treatment and the allowability of secretly taped conversations as evidence in court..

In the main bulletin we were also informed about a policy review on arms sales, the statements of the Libyan PM on Lockerbie and the US reaction and Democratic contender Kerry's latest primary success. We then learnt of moves to intercede in Haiti with a report from Port au Prince, leading on to an item on a 12 year old death in Glasgow. A new warning about the safety of child car seats by the AA was followed by an item on the reform of the Law Lords in the House of Lords - Lord Falconer then had a sound bite - justying the changes (no mention being made of the EU imposed necessity changes). The BBC winning 7 awards then followed with absolutely no mention of the loss of the appeal in the Metric Martyrs case.

Is the BBC censoring our news on behalf of the EU? Given their own web site carries a full report on the lost appeal that conclusion is inevitable!!!
