Re: Oh, here we go again!

"YES, I DO want to live in a world where the government will be held to account if it chooses to ignore the law."

And this is the crux of the argument, by fining a country, does it achieve anything? If it does, then good, but as Britain has been fined numerous times, it seems it will do nothing but take money from the population. All the while, the company responsible for polluting the air gets off scot free.

So to return to the parking analogy, the EU is fining me because VW are parking their cars illegally. At the moment they're dealing with a symptom ineffectively and leaving the cause alone.
