"This useless government needs to tell the EU to back-
Under the EU Technical Standards and Regulations Directive 98/34/EC the government has to give the EU at least three months notification before it can change British legislation.?
"Two British teens died from taking legal drug meow meow last week, another young life has already been wiped out," Farage said.
