EU Idiocy At It's Worst...

The traditional German dirndl gets the old thumbs-down from a new European Union directive aimed at reducing sunburn.

That's right. The cute little low-cut blouse that comes standard on the typical Bavarian barmaid is to be banned!

"This is European lawmaking at its most pedantic," said Munich's mayor, Christian Ude. "A waitress is no longer allowed to wander round a beer garden with a plunging neckline; I would not want to enter a beer garden under these conditions."
Here, here. No would I. It's bad enough the EU takes away a nation's sovereignty and taxes it to death, but when they start mandating the covering-up of cleavage - that is full justification for a German withdrawal. Insanity, pure and simple!
