#1 Allow me to doubt anything that comes from the Daily Sun in relation to the EU.

#5 EU bans girl-only ads

I can only suppose this heralds an end of the Sun's page seven as well.

#6 Will this law prevent female Clerics at Islamic mosques? Is this another law akin to the headscarf ban?

#7 Zenster - it's page 3. And I don't suppose this ruling would mean an end to it. The Sun would just be obliged to to select the models based on sexually neutral criteria. Bust-to-waist ratio, for instance.

#8 The above was meant to be scarcastic. Actually, it's probably what'll happen...

#10 Bulldog and Howard, I've probably asked this before, but isn't there some way the sane people in the UK can take back your country?

It's a great place overall, but geez....

#11 The Sun a news paper? It's like the National Inquirer with more Skin.

#13 Barbs; I assure you we're trying - I think the population is beginning to swing to a 'UK out of European Union' view. It will take time.

#14 The laws would also force careful women drivers to pay hundreds of pounds more for their car insurance. Many pay up to 40 per cent less than men because they have fewer crashes.

So penalizing more concientious drivers makes things "equal"?

The plan is part of a European Commission anti-discrimination directive.

Hey! April 1 passed some time ago!

#15 Aye, Cynic, there's the rub. Equality and justice are not always in sync.

See for example John Kekes' critique of egalitarianism, "Dangerous Egalitarian Dreams".
