Kelvin MacKenzie the former editor of The Sun appeared on Jacob Rees-Mogg's GB News show where they discussed the Tory government's plan to not drop 4000 EU laws. Kelvin complained that this isn't what people voted for. But nobody voted to end EU laws.

Buyer's remorse on the part of MacKenzie and now coming over as all intellectual and expert on the matter. The vote was quite possibly down to his rag and the, "Lets big up the leave argument just for a prank" attitude. He never expected leave to win but shat himself when he had the, "Oh my God, what have we done" moment. He still takes no responsibility, though.

Instead of admitting that Brexit is not working, which is going to make any Brexiteer look silly, they try and save face by saying it's not what they voted for. It's the new "Project Fear" slogan.

This just proves my point that Brexit benefits have become surplus to requirements. They discuss the dumping of so many laws, and not once did they identify a law which was causing offence or preventing Brexit benefits....

[@stuarthart3370]

I think it was the Telegraph yesterday, trumpetting the straight banana story. Like something from Gilbert and Sullivan. Truly surplus to requirements. It's why we need arts and humanities as well as PPEs to be worn or to staff 10 Downing Street. Ars longa vita brevis. What an amazing brexit benefit, and the papers lap it up. We could replace the Union Jack with a banana like the one on an old LP. National anthem could become I like to eat bananas by the wonderful Welsh band Man.

[@jackn4853]

As l remember the choice on the ballot was remain or leave. Neither option had terms and conditions. He (they) voted leave and "won." He got what he wanted he should be ecstatic.

[@Westwoodii]

The difference was though that the Remain option didn't need terms and conditions - it was a known quantity as we were already a longstanding member of the EU, and Remain meant the status quo. The completely unknown quantity was Leave - taking a total leap in the dark and hoping for the best, trusting in a bunch of charlatans.

I mean theres EU countries who havent adopted all of these laws or have chose to change them so all of these were in fact up to the UK government to choose whether to adopt. As with all the EU laws. The sovereignty argument was always complete bullshit.

@@piccalillipit9211 Since we were a member state at the time EU legislation was de facto UK legislation. There's no separation to be found there. Representatives from the UK would have had input in drafting that legislation. It wasn't just delivered to the UK like Moses and his stone tablets.

They are not EU laws. Don't parrot their terminology. They are UK laws, often based on EU laws which we helped to negotiate / draft / vote for. We even proposed a significant portion of them! If any of them need to be updated or revamped, get on with it, one by one, or section by section, in the 2023 UK parliament. To ditch 50 or 100 of them (never mind 2,000 or 4,000) without considering the pros and cons and what to replace them with,. is insane. Unless, of course, you want wild deregulation like Rees Mogg does, so that he and his venture capitalist mates can take advantage of the chaos. Another financial crisis anyone?
