Your honour I hold it was not my client who did wrong, but the person who made the law banning murder in the first place.

- AbrahamParangi 4y agoYes, well, maybe this particular regulation introduced in 2018 has the moral universality of murder or maybe it’s just a bad regulation. Really could be either way.
- propertymagnate 4y agoHa okay fair point on how much people ethically rate the actions people are trying to ban/regulate here, but the EU aren't creating convoluted cookie pops forcing anyone to do anything. Those people are part of that literally everyone else you're proposing. Unless your point is the legislation didn't go far enough? I didn't personally read it that way.
- AbrahamParangi 4y agoReally the point is that while the intentions are reasonable, leaders must be judged by outcomes. It is necessary but not sufficient for leaders to do the right thing. They must also achieve the right outcome. This is a harsh rule and requires commensurate power to be fair (which is why we don’t apply it in all aspects of life) but it is both fair and necessary when applied to leaders. Now, I believe this and you’ll find this belief implicit in much of the criticism of the EU regulatory directives but a reasonable person might disagree.
