Could this about face have anything to do with the forthcoming EU referendum by any chance, an `out` vote encouraging other member states to also leave this lumbering bureaucracy? He also seems to be addressing people's fears of Turks flooding into Europe by claiming that visa restrictions will not be relaxed.
We will see if he's all mouth and trousers as I suspect.

...and oil based white paint with a 'harmful additive ' which helps it to keep its colour and not turn yellow ..

Re: EU should interfere less
Forgive me for seeming a bit dumb, but are all these things down to the EU?I knew about the 'Bent Cucumbers and Bananas' and the limit on wattage for our vacuum cleaners, but I didn't realise the poor flushing toilet and the change away from oil based paint was down to the EU. I do love the new LED lightbulbs though, cool running, less power and instant light but a bit on the expensive side. Like Meg says though, the older type of energy saving bulbs were a joke. When I was a postman I had to work late every night for a couple of weeks trying to deliver all the free energy saving bulbs that the government were giving away, I had no room in the van for the bulbs and the post so I had to return after delivering the post when most people were home from work - you weren't allowed to leave them on the step.
There is also the situation with electrical wiring, it has all been changed from Red and Black to Brown and Blue. Having Brown for live just doesn't seem as important as the Red was....
