They will learn to live!

From the BBC News, we have M&S denies Kilroy mirrors claim.

I generally avoid commenting on the nexus of economics and politics but this one was so ridiculous that I simply could not help myself.

Marks and Spencer has said it is mystified by a claim by MEP Robert Kilroy-Silk that it uses "distorting" mirrors in its changing rooms.

Mr Kilroy-Silk has accused the store of misleading women with mirrors that make them look slimmer in its clothes.

In his question, Mr Kilroy-Silk asked if it was "conceivable that within the millions of EU regulations covering virtually every aspect of life in the EU" there was not one that made it illegal for M&S to have mirrors that "deliberately distort women's shapes".


I don't think the EU requires any more stupid regulations.

The women will learn to deal, and assuming that M&S is doing this, the women have the liberty to not shop there. After all, it's hardly the case that any country in the world is suffering from a dearth of womens' clothing stores!

What next? Banning peeing in your own pants?!?
