• I'm trying to work out where the three reasons are?

    I've made it to this point:

    But of all the elites in modern times, our current political class is an elite with one important difference: it's a nobility that for the first time in history, has no sense at all of noblesse oblige. The word nobility derives from the obligations of being the elite: being virtuous and noble in character...

    1) Someone hasn't read their Nietzsche. 2) That's a horrifying misunderstanding of history.

  • Okay, so I worked through it. Trying to give it a fair hearing.

    Here are the reasons:

    reboot British political culture, reboot Europe, and stop a completely avoidable self-mutilation.

    The first is terrifying and built on a straw-man argument. The second isn't evidence for or against anything, but a hope (but it's a nice hope). The third is tough to follow, but is first based on, hearsay (including the claims that the ECJ is "rigged"), and then entirely built on one CJEU case that the author is unhappy with.

    So in total, I think the evidence for the entire claim to leave is based on an eroding of copyright law. Am I missing anything?

  • Ignore. This thread is moving too fast.

    I just want my forum back!
