Sarcasm aside, an EU bill just passed that I actually really like!
The 'right to repair' a law which obliges manufacturers service parts /repair household goods like washing machines for up to 10 years.
it should go further though.
They can keep their Article 13 though. :P

Skybird for once i agree with you

I left the EU or UK and i aint looking back, i know all to well from stories of what the Soviet system was like that its not one that Europe will do well of.

I find Jean Claude Junker to be a almost reincarnate of Erich Honneker, when will the pro EU lobby wake up and realize.

I hope Brexit happens and more follow !

^ of course, of course. I have to say i meanwhile understand which kind of people voted for brexit
As i said repeatedly "It is all the EU's fault". And of course the EU is or will also be the reincarnation of the Soviet Union. Or worse.
And capable Boris, Rees-Mogg or Farage will lead England into a glorious future, because England was and is Always Special and superior to foreign underlings.
What really motivates the "European Research(!) Group" lol

We are just sitting and looking with a slightly raised eyebrow what Boris will think of next. And it seems it is always all about England, not the UK, not the EU.

I have my own reasons for voting to leave the EU and I don’t think you can type cast 17.4million people into one general type of person.

I’m not going to get into a debate about it maybe start a new thread because this will end up going off topic rapidly

[Catfish]

Of course, but you accuse other people and are being polemic in the best soviet style yourself. So i answered accordingly.

[Kapitan]

Let’s create a thread and let others join in eh ?

Its almost like he's Prime minister of England or something
You know God forbid the Leader of a nation put thats nations interests before the interests of other nations - outrageous! I mean - you dont see ANY other countries or UNIONS around the world doing that do you? :P

Case and point, that really only irks comfortable progressives with no real major societal or economic problems that can afford the luxury of such outward consideration at their own expense.
But to everyone else its a pretty normal expectation that their leader serves their own interests first. And its noticeably a progressive standard that's not applied consistently as national self interests its only controversial to the 'Baizou' (as the Chinese call it), when leaders western countries do it. But when other nations do it, no complaints!

There are many reasons to take Boris to task, but that's not really one of them IMO.
When you are trying to make a deal, you play hardball and ask for more than you will reasonably get, in order to work your way down to what you can realistically get.
(Trump does this all the time and he thinks he a genius for it lol.)
but its negotiation 101. If you start out on a negotiation with the minimum you want, you will end up with less than you wanted after compromising.
