BREXIT - some assistance required

The main reason people would vote out would be to regain control of the country and not be forced to adopt EU laws. No countries need common EU laws except for import export and travel. There is no reason why you can't have different laws in different countries and have control over those laws.

There are some crazy EU laws - France are banning any bike built before 2000 into Paris between 8am and 8pm with other major cities to follow, cars built before 1997 are also banned. Its looking like a number of other European countries will also follow - no exceptions granted for classic vehicles. If the French are OK with that - good for them but when those rules are forced on other countries people become agitated and dis-heartened. Can you imagine Australia trying to force new laws on NZ?

Yes I can - but can you imagine NZ accepting that? - Once again unfortunately I can also imagine that! - for some of our people!!!

I think you will find that NZ has already had to change/adapt to many things to Aussie standards/rules, regarding marketing, trade, etc. It will get worse under the TPPA agreement.

As for the French restrictions on pre 2000 bikes, seems fairly pointless. My 250 would be banned (1999) but the same identical model has been produced up to 2015. No changes to the fuel exhaust design in that time at all. The VW debacle has shown that new laws can be manipulated (for a while).

So funny

Not that tought to work out. Perhaps his extreme behaviour might have being a clue?

You know like murdering someone in broad daylight, by shooting and stabbing them to death

When asked to state his name in court, his reply was "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain"

Hardly extreme at all

Don't know that his actions were that extreme, in the light of what's happening in Europe. I guess I wanted to know why you think he was "right wing". I understand the "extremist" part of it, at least as you see it.

Context is important here. More extreme than trying to commit genocide on the original population of an entire continent?

Fair enough. That makes it alright then.

Who said *either* is alright? Am I missing something?

The right wing refers to his 'alledged' political affiliation, with a non-mainstream organisation, holding similar extreme views.

Most of such cnuts don't actually go around murdering people. I guess he took it all too literally. Not his fault really. Perhaps he thought it was what he was supposed to do
