# EU
By the looks of things the Tories are planning to back down on the EU referendum. I can't see that playing out too well for them.
I'm just a lowly immigrant and grateful to be in the UK, but the EU hegemon certainly doesn't seem like a good thing to me. A perfect example of that is the news this weekend that UK nationalised banks are to be broken up by the European Commission - potentially meaning huge losses for British taxpayers. You could be forgiven for thinking that all the UK politics and intrigues over the past two years have just been theatre - no matter what gets said or promised or argued or written about, in the end some obscenely powerful EU politician steps in and has the final say, and there's not a whole lot that anyone can do about it.
