ECJ: NO! (You nutters)

UK: Yeah… that was the Tories. Bastards. We are Labour. We are different.
ECJ: Everyone agreed to draw up plans regarding creation and disposal of waste - but the UK just couldn't be arsed; could you?
UK: Er... the binman collects it and takes it away somewhere? That's a plan!
UK: Come on! A UK inspector made a tiny mistake allocating EU farm subsidies and now the UK has to pay for it?
ECJ: The farm was located in "Narnia". And the inspector belonged to the farmer's lodge.
ECJ: Your beaches are still disgusting. How do you people live like that?
UK: Oh that's just the sea air - it always smells like that.
ECJ: I think your canary just died.
ECJ: You've had 3 years to legislate on interoperability of the trans-European rail network. You're late.

UK: Gosh, yeah…it was a helluva party! All coming back to me now.
ECJ: You've had 3 years to transpose EC 96/61/EC concerning pollution prevention and control: how's it going?
UK: Um. 90% there, honest! My little brother scribbled on it and I had to start again.
ECJ: Come on UK Gov - is BAA a privatised company or a Gov department?
UK: We thought we would sell it but still control it - like selling your car but keeping the keys.
ECJ: It doesn't work like that...

UK: Soz. We'll do it by April 2004, pinky-swear. It's back on track.
ECJ: We cannot believe you decided that environmental impact assessments were not required for 2 of the biggest development projects in London. WTF?

ECJ: The conservation of habitats directive - you've watered it down and ignored some bits.
UK: Well we had to do something with all the water from our illegal abstraction schemes, har har!

ECJ: Sorry UK, but even Crown developments need an environmental impact assessment.
UK: OK fair enough (but NOBODY tell Charlie the environment was ignored on a crown development, FFS)

UK: Fck 'em - they're only muzzies.

UK: Coz not making 'em pay to clean it up is a cunning form of illegal state aid. (Oops - shouldn’t have said that...)

UK: Public participation? Wait until '16 - you'll choke on it!

UK: Hey, other countries have been paying for our mistakes for years - why change now?

ECJ: No.
UK: For goodness sake! If you cannot discriminate against Turks, who can you discriminate against?
UK: We want you to annul Council Decision 2013/52/EU of 22 January 2013 authorising enhanced Tax cooperation (its really narking some major Tory donors).
ECJ: So what?
UK: ... you'll see...
