The Sun has a piece by Bill Cash (HERE) blaming (if that's the word) the EU for metrification athough as InFacts point out we adopted a lot of metric measurements in 1965 well before we joined the EU because it made sense. I assume Mr Cash would like us to return to feet and inches or even cubits - for good measure!
The Sun then rails against efficient vacuum cleaners because the EU has banned those that use too much energy. Soon they will be calling for models in cast iron and mahogany with giant motors that cause the lights to dim when switched on. They won't suck up more dirt but The Sun isn't bothered about that.
These people were in the vanguard of calling for us to leave the EU and this is what they were worried about - amazing.
