You're like five levels deep in trying to obfuscate that you can't think of a single example of that supposedly huge harm you want to avoid.

- djmobley 6y agoWhat I’ve actually been doing is resisting attempts to conflate two separate claims: 1) The claim that the EU has never forced the UK to do anything. Sheer nonsense. This is the claim I disputed all those levels above; 2) The claim that laws the EU has historically forced upon on the UK have been harmful. There are plenty of examples of the latter (take the Tampon Tax as one [0]), but that’s not the claim I was making. I haven’t advanced the latter claim because it is irrelevant. Providing evidence of historic harm is not a prerequisite for principled opposition to the EU having the power to impose laws and overrule national courts.
