Current Affairs EU In or Out

No but you seem the type that would like it too.

Git sum!

I don't think they did. Both sides were absolutely full of it.

Dodgy dave and Gideon were on the other side remember.

You got your country back ratty that's the main thing.

Massive lol at the lot of you.

In other news young people are lazy, self entitled morons.

Feels a bit like getting your car back then finding out Gibson has to drive it for you though.

The North East voted leave, which did surprise me.

Be interesting what they think when/if Nissan chip off to France.

I live in the north east. I was absolutely gobsmacked by that result for that reason. You don't see many non-white faces in County Durham. UKIP have quite a solid base up here. It seems the fear of immigrants, rather than actual immigrants, won the day. I despair

For real? You voted out because you disagree with laws set by the eu, then when asked which you disagree with the best you can come up with is energy saving light bulbs? Oh my word.

Look at the post immediately below yours. Humorous or not, that's an imposition upon which we had no say, for starters.

However, you could do your own research. For example, look in here: https://fullfact.org/europe/uk-law-what-proportion-influenced-eu/
Quote:
"It’s more meaningful to look at specific sectors and areas of law.
In agriculture, fisheries, external trade, and the environment, it’s fair to say that EU legislation and policy is indeed the main driver of UK law and policy, although the UK retains some freedom of action in these areas.
In other important areas—for example, welfare and social security, education, criminal law, family law and the NHS—the direct influence of the EU is far more limited
"An estimated 13% of Acts and Statutory Instrumentshave an EU influence, whereas that rises to 62% when EU regulations are included in addition to Acts and Statutory Instruments."

Try this as well: http://openeurope.org.uk/intelligence/britain-and-the-eu/top-100-eu-rules-cost-britain-33-3bn/
"Taking the regulations individually, the impact assessments show that Ministers signed off at least 26 of the top 100 EU-derived regulations, despite the IAs explicitly stating that the costs outweigh the estimated benefits. These regulations include the UK Temporary Agency Workers Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive."

Happy reading...

He asked for examples of laws you disagree with, not a link to a website listing which areas the EU was influential in.

But hey - light bulbs... booo.

There is also this. It is a long read but thought provoking. I had not even considered the Irish/Northern Irish border issue: https://www.theguardian.com/comment...ed-english-nationalism?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

I think the Irish government has told the shinners to pipe down on that.

It's just basic economics mate.
Do you think all the EU countries will be lining up to give us free trade with no concessions such as freedom of movement after all of this?

You have not stuck to the point. Negotiations on future trade agreements have not even been started. How can you possibly begin to comment about them?

You cannot make a personal assertion a fact, when that assertion is groundless 100%. It is akin to stating now that Everton will win the Premiership next season, fact. Not sustainable or tenable at all...

Unfortunately, what you posted is symptomatic of the arrogant, superior, attitude of so many of the remain voters, who are now acting like a bear with a sore ar*e because they came second in a two-horse race.

I love how you have the nerve to call Remain voters arrogant and superior. The following are just some of the hostile, arrogant ways you have reacted to Remain voters putting forward pretty standard arguments in this thread:

This is a stupid (and I'm being kind here when I use that word) thing to say... You must be stupid

The bile in your post is sad to read... Immigration has nothing to do with it

The remain voters need to wake up and smell the coffee!! You're out of your depth, mate...

Utter, utter, rubbish!!!

Etc, etc... Think you need to take a look in the mirror.
