What's wrong with sharing standards? Are we going to start selling products to the EU in imperial weights and measures now?

Nothing and if we are going to export to the EU then our products will still have to meet those standards anyway

The reply was to the comment that because we are leaving, we will end up with extremely dodgy products that are dangerous to the consumer because apparently consumer protection is only possible by being in the EU and these safeguards only exist through continued membership.

Obviously you won't see it until too late, but my view is the Majority has made a terrible mistake, and the decision is wrong. I despise the self-righteous idea of age=knowledge, but hey.

EDIT: Ph, and by the way- "little tantrum from a young and immature guy"

good luck in hiding your sock, I mean in your A levels :) I'm the immature one? ???

And most oldens despise being told we know nothing by youths. Everyone has their own beliefs age and life experiences alter them. When you're young you believe you can change the world. As you age you realise in truth you rarely get the opportunity. This was one, the first since l was able to vote, some 30 years ago.

Yep I agree with you in this context.

I think it's more efficient to evolve standards together though. I am pretty sure that we have led the way in many of the EU standards, not least in the building industry.

Are we going to try and keep all the EU policies that suit us and then find out in the end that we fall 95% in line with the EU anyway?

I'm replying to you, but there was a few others who essentially did the same thing [MENTION=5101]BigGully[/MENTION] ect. Why because I'm 17, does that mean that my future should not be mine to decide, or my opinion is suddenly invalid. Think I'm off to Germany, currently studying German A-level so shouldn't be too difficult to pick up the rest of the language. Would rather not stay and see Britain slowly crumble into Farage-Land. Anyone know any good stream sites so I can catch the Albion games?

Bye bye Baby

No it isn't.
39 out of 40 haven't signed it.

People didn't pay attention to those that advocated staying in the undemocratic EU and voted out.
Those that dont believe in democracy are adding their names to a petition that doesn't believe in democracy.

This is all sorts of weird.

Unelected law makers in the UK: 825.
Unelected law makers in the EU: 0.

How is that undemocratic?

What is it with 'Leave' voters and poor spelling and grammar?*

*This is a rhetorical question. This means your response isn't required/expected.

People vote in a free and fair referendum (or any other vote or election for that matter) --> there is a result ---> people are unhappy with the result because it's not what they wanted ----> they call for it to be ignored / ripped up / re-run in the hope of getting their preferred result because they are unwilling to accept the result of the democratic process

This reply just goes to show how immature you really are

Getting a little concerned about Herr Tubthumper. Anyone seen him? Can his neighbours check on him. We know the result must have been a serious shock to him so I am worried.

I think it likely he and some other remain supporters (5ways) have made the sensible choice of steering well clear of social media until they have gathered their thoughts and had time to reflect on what is obviously a crushing disappointment. Or they are on holiday making the most of free movement while it's still available ....

Or they are busy writing 39000 additions to the 2nd referendum petition from the Vatican City.

the Lords are not lawmakers, only do revision on legislation, and the EU parliament are not lawmakers, only do revision on legislation.

I was asking how this is undemocratic:

Unelected law makers in the UK: 825.
Unelected law makers in the EU: 0.

How did you miss that? :facepalm:
