The ACO have a link to a petition on their webpage, maybe Gilles can explain the purpose, but it has online Yes/No voting and Google translates the questions thus:
YES - with an intelligent road safety policy, divided, responsible!
NOT - with a blind and not adapted repression!
I do wish they'd give some indication of which way they wanted me to vote....

The Brussels Language is a dialect only spoken by a very tiny community within the EU. There is nobody outside this community who understands what they are saying or doing. |

No one knows where they are spending either, the 90 Billion that enters there coffers yearly, has not been accounted for correctly for the last 9 years. |

Oh please, come now that really is rather harsh - it is, after all, only 90% of their £70bn budget that they can't track.....

Isn't that one of those little keyboards that Rolf Harris used to advertise, and sounded like a dalek Can't quite see how you can get one to speak French though. Was Dr. Who shown on French TV?? |

More than likely, if she is like most women, when their drunken, unshaven, husbands come back from the pub and want to indulge in a bit of playing of the old pink harmonica.
