    I’ve had Brexit acquaintances who claimed they had to leave the EU to get rid of silly nonsensical laws.

    Meanwhile in the UK:

      Brexiteers, in my experience, are very much in favour of silly nonsensical laws, just different ones from the UK, like:

      • Demanding Wine be sold in Pints.
      • Laws about what flags you’re allowed to fly.
      • Laws about what language you’re allowed to have private conversations in.
      • Laws about what you are allowed to call things.

      They like making laws, just laws that enforce their worldview on others.
