It means that laws affect this country are made in this country. Simples. Really? And to think that laws in other countries don't affect the UK is just silly. How about the USA immigration laws? do they affect the UK? Which particular laws made by the EU do you think will not affect the UK if we leave? Very funny Den. As anyone with two brain cells to rub together (not you, evidently) could tell, I was referring to laws made in this country to do with matters affecting those *in* this country. US immigration laws don't affect this country, they affect people who might be trying to visit the US *from* this country. And the US will make those laws without regard to us, as will the EU (well in fact they already do). And to your question, the answer is all of them. So for example car emissions laws won't have to be complied with? Why would we have to comply with EU car emission laws for cars owned by UK citizens. For cars sold into the EU, we obviously would have to, just as we would for cars sold anywhere else in the world. Like the US, f'rinstance. So you agree that we can't just ignore EU laws and that they will affect us even if we leave. This is all very simple, Den, and I don't know why you're having such trouble with it. Its extremely simple, just leaving the EU doesn't make us free to do what we like as the leavers keep claiming. No, but it makes us a lot MORE free. WE wont all sprout wings and fly to work just because we left the EU. WE will still be subject to natural laws. Just a few less unnatural ones. But you LIKE taking orders, dont you Denise? -- The biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with what it actually is. |

Do you have any clue how much worse it would be if we have no vote whatsoeevr over our lawmakers? It means we have some control over our lives. Such as choosing which of two Old Etonians will be our next Prime Minister you mean ? As opposed to having someone in control thousands of miles away that has nothing but indifference & mild resentment against Britain, is making laws primarily for others' benefit, and frankly couldn't care less. And who we can never remove. If you can't work out which is better you should take your brain back for a refund. Plus getting shot of all the Polish plumbers and builders while at the same time I hope not. Out of the EU we actually have a choice on these things. sillyboll snipped. NT |

All you can do is vote for the MP of your choice. A very different matter. not really Compare this with the typical European country model where no-one even takes laws seriously. For a long list of reasons. And that's their own country's laws. Ever been to Germany? That is the largest EU country. Where they are far more law abiding in general than the UK. Germany's weird. In Italy, Spain & Portugal laws are generally not taken too seriously. When people outside of UK rule what happens here, generally they have little care or concern what the results are, or what we think of it. AND we will be wholly unable to remove them from office or repeal the laws. Only someone that doesn't understand the fundamentals of basic liberties would vote for such a stupid loss of freedoms. The typical EU against poor little England response. Hardly. Just a question of basic liberties & sovereignty. Despite UK MEPs voting in favour of about 80% of EU stuff. So by your figures in the EU we'd have to swallow 20% of stuff we don't like. I'm not seeing how that would be an advantage. And the even weirder notion that each and every EU country has more in common with the others than the UK. Which you'd know is total ******** if you'd ever set foot outside the Daily Telegraph. I've travelled enough to know the law is a different animal in many European countries. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Benjamin Franklin. That well known Englishman. Who presumably believed in the rights of all to carry assault rifles into gay clubs. You do talk nonsense. NT |
