I don’t pretend to understand about the EU powers, but our FM Sturgeon was up in arms when Westminster said that the powers returned by the EU would come back to Westminster in the first instance.

Hardly surprising since Scotland is not a member state of the EU whereas the UK is.

Please explain the minutiae of rules and regulations that the EU impose on our life.
Especially those rules and regulations that the UK government would not have imposed on the UK public or has imposed with some alterations.
Now the UK MOT is based on the EU Periodic Roadworthiness Test. Now the standard UK MOT is an annual test after 3 years. As far as I am aware the EU periodic Roadworthiness test states it must be done after the first four years and then every two years.
Now a member state of the EU is allowed to set a higher standard hence the UK 3 year and annual test.
Now are you saying that the UK would not have an annual MOT but for the imposition of a periodic roadworthiness test imposed on the UK by the EU? The MOT was first introduced in the UK in 1960 before the UK joined the then Common Market.
Now Bo Jo the kipper waving clown certainly does not understand the rules of the EU and even what countries are in the EU. Smoked fish regulations are down to individual countries and the Isle of Man s not in the EU. So Bo Jo the clown just muddies the waters with his lies/misinformation/poor research yet again.

My point was (badly put) that there are a number of powers held in Brussels which will come back to the UK, so the EU does play some role in setting rules for us to abide by.

You do realise that we, the UK, were a principal party in 'the EU' for 45 years in setting, planning, preparing and implementing those rules ...we agreed them ...on almost all occasions we championed them.

Well, 1/28th of “it”.
It’s that the interests of the other 27 don’t always coincide with ours ...... there’s where the problem lies. An ex-Disco3 / FFRR owner ......

Are our neighbours' interests better for us compared to those of the US? When we go cap in hand to the US and have our foreign policy determined by them as part of a trade deal, is that better for us than being the EU? Is that "taking back control"?Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
