It is of course a very large collection of "odd topics" that add up to the totality of excessive interference of EU in almost all matters.Originally Posted by DrPatrickBarry
EU actually like the "banana bend myths" because they can discount their critics as illinformed.
They would rather people did not comment on the reality of 1000 ways in which Eu provably intereferes unneccesarily in domestic politics, actively dissuades free trade instead of protectionism, and rank stupidity in many arenas. Indeed , many areas like totally crass EU banking rules that can and will sink banks, mostpeople do not understand them enough to see how stupid the EU really is. EU prefer people to comment on bent bananas. Easier to show them as a myth.
Here one more of many simple EU rules I hate, another "odd topic". Despite overwhelming evidence that men and women live different ages, EU forces the same life assurance rates to apply to all: so men are subsidising women which is totally discriminatory, since men will collect less from any amount they invest than women. Quite apart from the king canute mentality of EU trying to overrule nature by legal decree, it surely is a matter for us, whether we want to be so crass as to do the same.
That too you might dismiss as an "odd reason", but as Witton showed by example there are a multitude of odd reasons which when put together state clearly :a nation must decide its own laws. One size cannot fit all.
