I have the unequivocal answer from a couple of dyed in the wool Brexiters that it’s so that we can still get proper lightbulbs, decent paint stripper and weed killer.

Oh and some fluffy waffly stuff about the EU’s potential to be really really means to us at some unspecified point in the future if we remained.

No need to debate it any further everyone. It’s all clear now.

The Brexit vote didn't close down the EU pyramid scheme you know.(unless you clever EUSSR advocates know something that you daren't admit) It is still there with open arms for all who wish to be there.(ask Frau Murkhell) No restrictions exist on your "rights" to participate in the shady scheme...…….why wait. Make room for people who want to be part of an independent UK. There are, soon likely, thousands of disenfranchised South Africans who are willing to swap places with you They may even like it here ultimately. The EU can have( with you) the people who will drive them out in fear of their lives. Bye.
PS.

If you listen carefully when you get there millions can tell you how best to become "covert migrants" with just a mobile phone, a pair of Adidas trainers, and a false identity.
Readers may (or may not) be interested to read my answer at 16:38 to this question:

This nonsense has been going on with ZM for a month or two. And it seems to be getting worse. Quite frankly, anybody who has to ask how the EU influences the lives of all the people unfortunate enough to reside in its huge and ever increasing bailiwick should not claim to be engaging in reasoned debate.

The amount of legislation that makes its way onto the UK Statute books that spews forth from the EU is arguable but accepted as substantial. Anybody who believes that substantial amounts of a country's legislation has no effect on its citizens needs their bumps felt.

When this question is next raised (for probably the 94th time) which, if experience is anything to go by will probably be tomorrow, I advise readers to give it a wide berth.
I did give Z-Man example at 16.21 (I think) in that my poor sister spends untold hours sifting through obscure directives and rules - most of which do not have ay impact on her business.
my poor sister spends untold hours sifting through obscure directives and rules - most of which do not have any(Togo Edit) impact on her business.

But she has to wade through the guff because hidden somewhere is a fine, paid direct to EU coffers and immediately quaffed by Junker to ease his "sciatica".
You've got it Togo! People do keep asking for examples - so I gave one.
Not "people", jourdain. Only one person.
It’s always a laugh when Brexit supporters claim that one of the main reasons they voted as they did was the desire to bring back a situation in which British laws, British judges and British courts rather than European ones, such as the ECJ, held sway here.
The minute the Supreme Court decided in January 2017 that the Government could not initiate withdrawal from the EU without an Act of Parliament, the balloon went up!
How dare the members of the Supreme Court - exercising the very powers the Brexiteers claimed they so much loved and desired - actually come to such a decision? These judges were clearly traitors and “enemies of the people” according to the likes of The Daily Mail.
One wonders how many of the Leavers had any notion of what exacty they did want, given that they clearly didn’t want a British Supreme Court? And, since the Brexit enterprise seems to have come to a juddering halt, what do they imagine we’re going to end up with?

There are a couple of remoaners on this site who will never understand that there are many varied reasons people chose to vote to leave. 17.5 million different reasons. Some will have because it directly affect their lives others because they worked out it indirectly affects them (probably similar for remain voters) or even simply they just dont want to be ruled by an un-elected foreign power.

Why is it so difficult to understand?

And Brexiteers are called thicko's !

I’m really sorry for asking people to tell me why they voted leave. And for asking how their lives are affected by the EU. One strange thing tho......
No one has yet given a sound answer to either question. Funny that.
They haven't given a sound answer that you've not chosen to dismiss or ignore because you didn't like it.

Says the guy who admits he voted leave so he can get better quality paint stripper!
Did you miss the point ? I can reiterate it. The reason was return of sovereignty. And again, you are the one caught up on finding trivial examples that you claimed didn't exist.

Question Author
You didn’t say that tho. When pressed for a practical example, you wrote the following:
‘But if you insist, off the top of my head, I'd say every time we are banned from a decent weed-killer, or a good paint stripper, or a particular type of lightbulb, or a desired vacuum cleaner above a certain wattage, we see examples of the EU causing us disadvantage’
Yes; and your point is ?

Recall we'd already told you that the reason was return of sovereignty, the list was because, having no valid response, you mocked and asked for examples. There you have some. Then, having no valid response to the examples either, you decided to mock and reject them too.

My advice; lie low when you are getting nowhere.
Question Author
My point is that you yourself have admitted that you voted leave to be able to purchase better lightbulbs, vacuum cleaners, weed killer and paint stripper.

And you think I’m losing the argument! Seriously?. I think you need to have a reality check and admit you’ve really no idea why you voted leave other than as some sort of protest vote.
Question Author
‘What a ridiculous thread’

The only thing worthy of ridicule, Denton, is the people who’ve actually admitted they voted leave so that they could purchase sundry items of little or no consequence to the import of our leaving, or Shelly Shally around with claims that the EU MIGHT someday turn all nasty (presumably denying us such essentials as good quality hair spray or fish food, perhaps?).
