Will Brexit lead to the abandonment of Crossrail2 and Turning South London Orange?

They'll probably still affect us when we're outside the EU, but now we have no say, and certainly no veto. Oh so the company that refurbishes antique mercury-based scientific instruments didn't have to close its operation because the EU banned the sale of these instruments, then? Do you approve of scrapping the ban on trading in ivory too? That's completely different though, isn't (It's a ridiculous comparison and you ought to fell ashamed making it) It's every much the same sort of thing: banning a commodity because it's harmful/unethical or whatever. There is a mile of difference between unethical and harmful, especially when in normal use the item isn't harmful at all, it's only harmful if it's abused. The reason I mentioned that one example (rather than say a pesticide) is that sufficiently old examples have grandfather rights. Which you might be suggesting doesn't apply to mercury instruments?? The grandfather rights to antique mercury based instruments apply to unrepaired ones (whether still working or otherwise). as soon as they (the mechanism) is newly repaired they have to follow the same rules as newly made, which means that their sale is banned. It's a nonsense tim |
