Which eu law would you ditch first?

SWEDISH BLUE:
Metric measurements and weights

Hilarious.
Let’s teach a generation of kids, that have grown up with metric measurements, how to count again.
None of your stinking foreign easy dividing or multiplying by 10.
Let’s bring furlongs, chains and quarts back as well.
Let’s make Britain great again!

Washwipe:
Not so much a law but get out of the European Court of Human Rights, the run to court for malingerers, terrorists, criminals, etc.

And there, in a nutshell, is the average Brexiter’s knowledge of the EU.

Bring back bright lightbulbs…instead of energy saving ones

And also bring back Hoover’s that arnt noise restricted and have no suction

So you’re happy for paedophiles, rapists and murderers to use the ECJ to avoid deportation ? :unamused:

I asked the daytime drinkers in my local branch of 'spoons.

Sid said: “We should tell the Germans that we don’t care how bent our bananas are.”

His companion, Gervaise, said: “OOh, I do like a bent banana.”

I thought it best to stop asking questions at this point.

Shall we just leave this parked here, while we all busily do some research, to see what the ECJ does and doesn’t deal with?

The whole legislative/legal cob Webb that makes billions of pounds off the (mainly) working class whilst threatening criminal charges for things which were never in this country’s law before the shysters infiltrated our political system!!.. in reality, F!?K all will change cause they are all in it together & if the idiot box tells the empty headed serfs they are out of Europe, then we MUST be out of Europe!!.. taken out by good old boris, a uk born prime minister with Lithuanian heritage - we want a return to common law!!

Oh and the Bradbury pound! That’ll do for starters!

It will take 61 years to get brexit done, if we are being very optimistic and things will go smoothly

Don’t forget Tally Sticks :slight_smile: a primitive fiscal mechanism,but an effective one during it’s time.Re,-foreign invaders,I’d like a large commandeered cruise liner moored off Dover as a processing unit/instant- re-patriation facility.Feed em and ■■■■ them off.

Free movement, in the sense of being in wage competition with workers from former Communist countries where a five-bedroom house in two acres of land can be purchased for £30,000.

Well, better get ready to welcome the next batch of “necessary workers”, from the land where a 5 bedroom house in 2 acres of land can be purchased for about £250…

No- Johnson knows he has one chance, and one chance only to get this right. He will be out in 2024 if he doesn’t.

Seriously H,do you think he’ll be too worried about this :open_mouth: he will have done what it’s masters,Evelyn,Jacob et al have groomed it for,then retire to country estates and vintage claret ad-infinitum.

Dunno what happened to the post I put on this thread yesterday, but I’ll re-state it in any case:

I would see an end to WTD rules, as “The Sabbath was made for Man, not Man for the Sabbath”.

It seems daft to me that one can be in the crap for "not taking a break soon enough time-wise (rather than driving wise) into one’s duty for that shift…

It effectively creates a minefield for those who work regular shifts of 12+ hours, which of course is why yours truly is sick to death of it.

Compare how “serious” the crime of “being on duty 6hrs and 5 mins before going on break of 30 minutes” compared to “driving 4hrs 35 before taking a 45 break”…

At the moment - they seem to be treated equally as per “tacho infringements”. I would argue that driving over 4.5hrs without a break is quite SERIOUS, whereas being on duty over 6 hours before being able to park up and take a break (if you’ve been stuck in traffic, for instance…) - is just a pain in the arse rule that we could all do without.

I would argue that if we’re not careful - we’ll lose the UK “worker flexibility” in favour of this crappy EU worker’s so-called rights thing where you cannot do this, cannot do that - and basically are in trouble if you don’t toe the line on such rules.

The same applies to this rule about “night workers not being able to work more than 10 hours without a union-signed agreement to opt-out it” - which isn’t much good if you’re a full timer at a workplace that HAS no Union there…

Sometimes - AGENCY happens to be better for the built-in opt outs it has - than most give it credit for.

I’m looking for a contract where I can take home £500pw for 3-4 shifts - not 5-6!!! A 4 day week contract including nights and weekends (my compromise) - leaves 3 days where overtime can be gotten, only cost 4 days holiday to book a week off, and mean doing shifts 10-15 hours rather than commuting any distance for measly 6-8 hour shifts at those venues where they’ll have you in 5-6 days per week - and STILL not have enough work to go around.

My first year on agency in 2011 - I learned the hard way that there is no point commuting to a job where the shift payment is 6-8 hours @ say, £10ph - but after tax you’ve barely paid for your commute, food, and actual time getting there!! :bulb: Being able to claim expenses - had me in denial for a while, but when I got the inevitable back tax demand - I decided I’d never put up with such crappy contracts ever again.

Hopefully, “contractual abuse” such as I’ve described here at both full time and agency venues - will END now that we’re leaving, and not coming back. :neutral_face:

We’ve not done that though, until we stop paying the money, and openly enforce UK law over EU law, for example - confiscating a foreign fishing vessal in the channel, or deporting illegal immigrants fished out of the same channel to the mainland continent, no qualms about “infringing their yuman rights”.

Copy n paste the lot into the bin of history.

nothing really i thought everything was OK the way it was, i don’t remember being stopped from doing something i wanted to do or being forced to do something i didn’t

I guess that makes sense. Remainers still clinging onto the world that they were perfectly happy with beforehand… “No changes required nor desired”.

…Alas for the 52% of us “Left Behind” mob then! That 4% edge - is going to make a HUGE difference to everyone’s life over the next five years at very least now.

a uk born prime minister with Lithuanian heritage\\

If you mean Boris Johnson, he was born in the USA

But unlike the Bruce Springsteen album, he’s absolute crap.

:smiley:

Well the massive majority of EU laws are ones which our governments signed up to in the first place.

This is Brexit in a nutshell, a country now punching down rather than punching up.

Beetlejuice:
Copy n paste the lot into the bin of history.

you probably mean cut and paste?

Ban cabotage. Only allow a backload from a load in. It will stop uk companies using EE companies for Peanuts.

Not an EU law but break up Eddie, Wincanton, XPO and all the other big haulage firms that are complicit in pushing rates and wages to the floor. I’ll settle for EU companies paying their workers the UK minimum wage from the minute they enter the country though.

Darkside:
Savid Javid has asked the public to say which EU Regulation they want to get rid of first.

What would you ditch first?

In drivers hours:

  1. Ban the 9 hour rest reduction unless taken away from base.
  2. Allow 3 x 15 minute driving breaks as a minimum (instead of this useless 15 + 30) so long as there is ■■■■■■■■■■■■ no more than 4.5 hours driving between 45 minutes in total rest breaks. A 15 min break is often useless whereas in a 20 - 25 minute break you can usually get some scran.

A 15 min break is just about a ■■■■ break at a MSA!
