      Perhaps they have learned from their mistakes and decided to

      leave more decisions to EU countries, and stop their obsessive micromanaging
      so are simply offering some advice. I don't like the EU at all, but I find it hard to object in any way to advice.

            I believe that the UK is actually a forerunner here, a leader in the EU: Mansion tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Well if I do, it will be all that nasty EU's fault for their meddling micromanaging advice.

                      I wouldn't either, if it was free. But of course it isn't. These reports don't write themselves, we pay for them.
