Default EU to flush your money down your toilet?

One of the benefits of being on a UKIP mailing list is such delightful
snippets as these

http://www.euractiv.com/climate-envi...to-news-531374

Less 'Part P', and more 'part-pee'..

"Further down, the minutes of one of the expert group meetings singles
out the following €śkey findings€ť:

that €śtoilet seats/covers are not really related to the product
function€ť;
that €śtoilet seats/covers are often sold separately€ť from the main
€śproduct€ť;
and that €śthere is a high variability in consumers choice for
toilet seats/covers€ť.

Experts have agreed that two €śkey elements€ť appear to affect the water
consumption of flushing toilets and urinals: their design and the user
behaviour. Regarding user behaviour and €śbased on the discussions with
stakeholders€ť, the experts have decided to set the average flush volume
as "the arithmetic average of one full flush volume and three reduced
flush volumes".

Wow. I bow to the mighty EU! who would have known that! Or come up with
such a daring solution!

Or didn't they think that with most homes equipped with water meters and
spiralling costs, we shouldn't already not be flushing more than we had to?

And they wonder why UKIP membership is increasing faster than its
declining in the other parties....

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
