Okay...you don't think EU rules are made in Brussels...

Which begs these questions
1. Why does the EU need an EU Commission, Parliament and ECJ?
2. Why is the EU punishing Hungary?
3. And why is Von der Leyen pushing for a Federal EU, that'll govern over every aspect of the EU?

Still feeling bitter about losing the EU referendum then Tom?
Considering all your amazing self-proclaimed international security negotiating skills, it seems amazing that you lost...

I think you'll find that although the current EU CAP budget has shrunk from the original EEC CAP (ie the Common Agricultural Policy) budget - French farmers still get the highest share of that money.

Do try and Google it, before making stupid comments...

Just watched the Environment Agency on TV, saying how they care about preventing flooding

Near me is a planning application for new homes - beside a river - with a history of flooding

The EA approved those plans, no problems

6.15am today the EU phoned with a flood warning...

AH, finally!

So you're saying that both the head of the ECJ, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the EU Commission - are both lying, and the EU Commission doesn't have primacy over EU states

I think the first sentence in your comment screams out 'Remainer'
They're the ones who always talk like Chavs, whenever the EU is mentioned

It's amazing how many Europhiles have suddenly become experts on international trade agreements

Or since they read about them on Twitter..

I'm happy enough not to trade with the EU, as are most Brexiteers
And as you said, the EU isn't bothered about trading with the UK

So why are Europhiles so desperate for UK/EU trade?

It's a mystery - they must have some sort of ulterior motive

1 Buy UK carrots, they're very fresh
2 Who's stopping you travelling to the EU?
Answer; the EU
3 Only EU imports would be faster, the rest would be slower - or have huge EU tariffs
4 Have you not heard that the EU economy has slowed?
5 Let's put Von der Leyen in the bin...

'Hundreds of £billions' [of UK exports to the EU]
Where did you get that daft idea from?

Before the UK left the EU, we were only exporting about £250bn to them!
EU exports accounted for less than 10% of UK GDP.

EU exports have GROWN since the EU ref!
See for yourself

A fine theory - if you happen to believe that the only place in the world we can trade with, is the EU27.

Although I seem to remember reading that the EU accounted for less than 50% of UK exports - ah, but I suppose non-EU trade doesn't count...

Brunei is one of the richest countries in the world, mainly from gas and oil reserves, far richer than most EU states - do you think Brunei was kicking itself when Romania joined the EU?
