fuck the eu up the ass.

wtf ? why ?

 

[Chilly]

The EU clearly wants more money because the UK and other successful members wont just give them all of theirs so they have to levy these nasty taxes. ***** the lot of em.

 

[TdC]

ah ah ah, now let's not get all down with the fact twisting eh

 

[dysfunction]

oh well best buy your lcd now then.

Although they may have to have a change of heart...

ICT Office says that the EU tariff conflicts with the Information Technology Agreement (ITA), which clearly states that the use of levies would not be encouraged through future trade agreements

 

[Moo]

glad i just bought my lcd last week then ;p

 

[Yaka]

these twats should be punished lets send clowneh and mystic G over

Hmm, first European High Def broadcasts just starting to kick off, so a run on LCD screens is expected, "I know, lets tax this" says some faceless Brussells beauracrat who never pays for anything anyway. Twats. So much for free trade.

Fortunately I've just got mine and in real terms I don't think people will see much difference in price, but the problem is that LCD prices were expected to drop quite a lot over the next 12 months, now they'll just drop a little bit.

If the EU was a business, it would be like Rover now.

If the EU was like Tom, then it would be posting random forwarded emails because it is funny lolz.

If the EU was like Clown it would be a pointless bloated organisation that spews forth nonsense to impress everyone.

Oh wait......

 

[ECA]

If the eu was a business it would have been shut down for not having its financial reports signed off for four years in a row.

If this was a real thread it would be a cotton one in my pants.

 

[Embattle]

Even if it does happen there is too much competition in the market and it is increasing, basically the price isn't like to suddenly rise.

The solution - support British business and buy British.
