To Be European

Not everyone is blind to the fact that the EU impacts one everything:

However, even if the elected representatives of the British people were to have a moment of revelation, and see just how their liberal experiment has failed, they would be powerless to reverse the process of appeasement that they so wilfully initiated. Our position as a member of the European Union now precludes us from using capital punishment. Those who mourn WPc Beshenivsky can add to the list of her murderers the high contracting powers of the EU, who dictate to a supposedly sovereign and independent nation rules about not just how it can punish its criminals, but what lengths it may go to protect its people.

The powers that be have decided that to be European means that the death penalty is not an option. Can we than decide not to be European?
