Have you thought this through ?Originally posted by glebe digital View PostYes I've been waiting for the "even closer union - even less democracy" speech to finally arrive......roll on autonomy even if all goes a bit pear-shaped.
You know that all the laws the EU thinks up are sent in the post to Norway, Switzerland and Iceland.
In other words if the UK ends up in a "transitional deal" then the all powerful Mr Juncker will thinking up laws which will be sent by return of post to the UK parliament and they will have to implement them.
I look forward to that.

Well I am not really angry at all - just thought it would be humorous.Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostSo you have reached Anger. Well done.

So lets say Mr Junker send us said a4 envelope and we just shred it without opening it
What is he going to do?
Invade the Uk and enforce his laws?
Take us to court and try and sue us for what?
You are like a 30 year old virgin who has just moved out of mummies and daddies house and you still take your shoes off when you come through the door because that is what was indoctrinated into you when you lived with mummy and daddy.Comment
