On another note, I’m surprised Merkel hasn’t faced this in Germany on a large scale.

German manhood was all but extinguished after WWII. They won't even stand up for their women as the moslem hordes rape them with impunity. Do you expect them to stand up against anything else?

“Some here have suggested a US version with Blaze Orange Hunting vests.”

No yellow, no orange. It makes you stand out like a sore thumb = easy target.

Oh, Noes;

They hain’t left yet.

And now their fearless leader, Ms. Mays, has screwed them royal with pi$$-pour negotiations results.

She shoulda hired Trump as a consultant.

Not a straight answer?

OK, we know Mays screwed it up but aren’t they still in process?

> Merkel hasn’t faced this in Germany on a large scale <

Most Germans appreciate societal order, and the duty to obey is ingrained in them. (Oops! That’s a sweeping generalization. I suppose that’s frowned on in this day and age.)

Anywho, awhile back I read a current affairs story about a certain German rural town. An official from Berlin came, and said that the town must accept hundreds of “refugees”. The townsfolk wanted no part of that. There was no money to care for the “refugees”, or even a place to house them.

But no one at the meeting with the official said a word. They all just sat there.

The Brits are in [final] process, but still not out.

Terms and approval of same are still open.

She proposed the worst of all Brexit deals, the MPs were sure to reject it, so she refused to allow it to be voted on.

Theresa May calls off MPs’ vote on her Brexit deal

Her bad deal would have left them with bills for the EU, forced to obey a bunch of EU mandates and no authority to control immigration and trade.

Is the vest-in-cars rule EU wide?


In good fashion it's up to each EU country. This is a summary for UK drivers going to Europe -

https://www.theaa.com/european-breakdown-cover/driving-in-europe/what-do-i-need

PDF list is half way down

If they made the rules to common it would put each country's transportation ministry out of business. This is one of the fallacies for the EU becoming a ‘cost saving’ through integration...:^)

Thanks.

Interesting that it turns out that the EU is not a total overlord of regimentation.

Thanks again.

THAT is a total mishmash of requirements.

And here I thought that the Brussels Ruled with an Iron Fist.

Very surprising.

Do European car companies still offer European delivery for Americans?

“I thought that the Brussels Ruled with an Iron Fist.”

The reality is very different from that rhetoric. The areas of life in the member states which are not affected by EU regulation far outnumber those that are. Education, legal systems, health systems, the legislature, policing, the military, taxation, currency (except in the Eurozone), most utilities,highway design and construction.....those are just a few of the main ones which are controlled by the individual member states, not the EU. There are many more.

I think it’s good to see the “lime shivers” off their butts and on their feet.
Theresa May is just about done.
