European Community legislation

Well, I heard back from Historic Scotland concerning that job I was so excited about:

"Unfortunately as Civil Service posts are classified as 'Public Service' under European Community legislation, applicants for these posts must be British or Commonwealth citizens. Therefore I am afraid we cannot consider your application."

Under European Community legislation? I could understand if the British government had made the regulation, but the EU? This means countries like France and Germany, whose economies are strangled by their rampant workers unions and failed socialistic policies, have rammed through legislation protecting their precious civil service jobs from those blasted Auslanders because their wonderful workers' paradise has a normal unemployment rate in excess of ten percent. Yippy skip.

What’s worse is that I would qualify if I were a British Commonwealth citizen. I could accept this if it was Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, but it’s not. Now despite the fact that the US and Britain are two of the closest allies in the world or that I am a native English-speaker of British-descent and married to a British subject with a work permit for which I spend an exorbitant sum, I still take a back seat on the bus to citizens of the following countries:

Antigua and Barbuda
Nauru
Australia
New Zealand
Bahamas
Nigeria
Bangladesh
Pakistan
Barbados Papua
New Guinea
Belize
St Kitts and Nevis
Botswana
St Lucia
Brunei
St Vincent and the Grenadines
Canada
Seychelles
Cyprus
Sierra Leone
Dominica
Singapore
Gambia
Solomon Islands
Ghana
Sri Lanka
Grenada
Swaziland
Guyana
Tanzania
India
Tonga
Jamaica
Trinidad and Tobago
Kenya
Tuvalu
Kiribati
Uganda
Lesotho
United Kingdom
Malawi
Vanuatu
Malaysia
Western Samoa
Maldives
Zambia
Malta
Zimbabwe
Mauritius

Is there anyone out there that can even place Kiribati or Seychelles on a map? We really need to form an Anglo-American treaty organization. Get Britain out of Europe and into the Anglo-American world!
