Quite an interesting article in it's own right, about legal moves to force manufacturers to make devices last longer an be easier to repair. Washing machines for example, but seemingly it will refer to all manufactured goods. Ought to be a good thing really, the laws of unintended consequences to one side.

However, good as the idea is, down near the bottom are these comments;
"The British government has welcomed the new rules and will almost certainly need to replicate them if UK firms are to export to Europe.
And there you have it, in a nutshell. Why Brexit will be no more than Beano. We'll just be following EU Rules and Regs we didn't vote for and cannot veto, because our companies and business will decide for us. There will be no vote, no veto, the thoughts and feelings of the electorate won't matter because nobody will ask them.
Now tell me again about this sovereignty and right to self-determination that Brexit will bring back?
FIdiots.
