- Fortunately a lot of UK companies have been pointing out the patent
- problem (well to be precise the we get their patents but we don't have
- them here so its unfair side of it), and with any luck the patent issues
- will get re-examined. Secondly I'm fairly sure that GATT in any form
- if it went to a referendum as the maastrict treaty (european single market)
- did in some countries it will be thrown out by the people - amongst
- other things the french farmers are very powerful.

- I guess we have to hope that GATT takes so long to negotiate that
- the US ceases to be a credible world power (two dollars to the pound
- and its rising 8-)) or has its much overdue revolution.
