Tamzin's take on the week

issue 27 October 2007

Monday

Great balls of justiciable fire! If one more person asks me to write a memo about ‘opt-outs’ I will explode. People are talking in fluent Alphabetti Spaghetti. It’s all ‘IGC mandates’ this, and ‘QMV’ that, as if anyone had the faintest clue what they were on about.

And what are ‘justiciable rights’ anyway, when they are at home? Clearly a made-up word or a mistake by the silly Belgian translators.
