Yes Thanks Nathan, I am with Chris though I am suspicious of such large
organisations because they have an impossible task - there are too many
cultural differences between nations and however idealistic the people
are, that will never change, people seem to need to identify with
smaller clubs be it a country or much smaller to have the feeling of
identity.
However the EU needs to be clear about what it is doing, people should
be able to know if the petitions are alarmist or not and I think the
worry is that if restrictive legislation can be implemented without fuss
then more and more restrictive legislation will come.
Chris, it seems the EU are being more open about the TTIP
<http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/in-focus/ttip/about-ttip/> I still
don't want it the freemarket has I think not benefited the populas as a
whole, some have done very very well but most suffer. This will be a
huge problem as we get more automated and less people work, its a big
task for society to solve and I worry for my kids and their future.

Thanks very much for explaining that, Nathan. That was instructive and it
confirmed some of what I had suspected.
Wikipedia has been worried, however, that it would not be able to use images,
that it would be considered commercial use.
Finally, it doesn’t surprise me that some have jumped to inaccurate
conclusions; it seems that few people trust the machinations of the EU, the Parliament or the
Commission. Much of its operation appears to be obscure or remote, some of it secretive. An
example of the latter is TTIP . . .
