More Farage wisdom

[mos]

And you would know, being an expert and all...Mind you, maybe we should petition the EU to legislate against it

He is OK with that as long as it will not affect his right to be a dlick.

I thought we did not make anything any more? You are contradicting yourself.

Try and get any buildiing product or chemical tested and certified to EU /TGV standards costs an absolute fortune.

From the horse's mouth:

The use of standards is voluntary - you cannot be obliged to use them. You could also opt for other technical solutions to fulfil the essential requirements set out in the relevant directive.

However for certain products, say construction products there are other rules:

After 30/06/2013, in order to sell a construction product in the European Union (EU) the manufacturer has the obligation to issue a Declaration of Performance (DoP) and affix the CE marking if:
the product is covered by a harmonised European Standardand the coexistence period has ended,
OR
if a European Technical Assessment has been issued for the product.
NB: If one of the derogations foreseen in Article 5 of the Construction Products Regulation is applicable, the manufacturer is entitled to refrain from drawing a DoP and affixing the CE marking. This is a decision to be taken by the manufacturer, who can issue a DoP and affix the CE-marking even in these cases.

Too right mate: Nigel Farage: I have never taken drugs but they should be legal - Telegraph

Speaking in a phone in with Telegraph readers today the Ukip leader said the war on drugs had been lost “many, many years ago” and that it was time for them to be legalised – despite strong opposition from his party.

His Libertarian spirit is coming back to the surface, of which I am very glad. A true libertarian should oppose the restriction of all drugs, including pharmaceutical ones.

But how will this go down with his party's base? And can a true libertarian be anti-immigration?

And can a true libertarian be anti-immigration?

They can be if there are taxes and benefits that distort peoples' freedoms.

Immigrants from EU work and pay taxes, far more taxes than what they consume. Why are you looking at each potato I eat for lunch as if it were a free lunch founded by you ? total

Ok, bulls.it! You have nothing to say really.
