Pro-Brexit caller cannot name a single EU law he dislikes | James O'Brien | LBC

This caller told James O'Brien he voted for Brexit because he did not want to be shackled by EU regulations - but could not name one that he disagreed with.
Boris Johnson and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen will assess whether a post-Brexit trade deal can be salvaged following a weekend of tense negotiations.
The two leaders will speak on Monday evening - their second call in a little over 48 hours - after their top negotiators spent Sunday locked in detailed talks.
James asked Brexit voters why they had done so and Dave from Epsom said he is a Brexiteer because he does not believe in a "federal Europe", which he defined as a system of government where every state, including the UK, is "controlled by a central point."
However, James pointed out that this is the exact opposite of what "federal" means, as it is actually means forming a unity but remaining independent in internal affairs.
Despite James informing Dave of the definition, the caller maintained that he did not like the federal EU and Brussels "had too much control."
"Don't know what it means, but adamant I don't agree with it," James said.
The caller also supports Brexit because he disagrees in the idea of the EU having power over British waters; he cited Norway which maintains 85% power over its waters and has remained in the single market, and asked why the UK was not doing this - to which James pointed out the UK is not remaining in the single market.
James asked, "What are you most looking forward to about not being in the EU anymore?"
"Rules and regulations," Dave said, "we are a leader in the world, we don't need the EU to tell us how to do things."
However, despite being repeatedly asked, he could not answer which EU rule he opposed the UK having to abide by.
Dave then cited corporation tax, because if there is a No Deal Brexit or a permanent loss of corporation tax revenue, it could leave the Republic of Ireland as one of the most indebted countries in the world - James responded, "They say the only people it'll be worse for than Ireland is the UK."
James asked again, "Can you name one EU rule you don't like?"
Dave responded that he did not like the EU regulation on refugees, although he said he's not worried about immigration personally.

@ Shilcock 1. Not everyone who voted for Brexit had the same characteristics or reasons for their choice, many of them also had descendants living in the UK or EU. 2. In a democracy everyone who is eligible to vote has the right to do so. If you respect that democratic system then you have to accept that you may be out voted by people who disagree with you on one or more issues. Or, do you think the vote should not be given to 'these people' ? Presumably these are people not like you - middle-class, graduates who support centre-left political parties? @buroosh Are you referring to BAME communities and those people working in non-white collar jobs who have been exposed to public interaction?

When he mentioned fishing and Norway, the EU negotiated a deal with Norway to access its waters. The UK could have participated in the same deal. Instead of accepting it our negotiators asked for 3 times the amount of fish Norway was prepared to give us. It didnt matter a jot to our negotiators that we didnt have the capacity in our fleet to catch that amount of fish, never mind process it. Norway, quite rightly said no, so the UK said to Norway they could not fish in our waters. Norway did like wise to the UK and banned us from fishing in their waters. Norway fully compensated its fishing fleet for being unable to access UK waters. The UK gave its fleet nothing.

That same passion can easily translate into more confidence which often times can help you under pressure. So for example, take a baseball fan, apply that same pressure and ask him to present an argument as to who the best baseball player ever is or to just name any baseball player and the results will likely be in stark contrast to what that same reporter got when he ran up on any rando and started urging them to name a woman.

Fun fact: when Ronald Reagan entered the Oval Office to begin his 1st term, his top cabinet advisors came to him w/ a list of administrative / political goals & asked him to select which ones should get top priority. Reagan stated that they *all* should get top priority. Confused, his advisors explained that, no, that's not how assigning priority works -- they needed clear direction from him as Chief Executive regarding which goals should be categorized as having the highest importance versus other, less urgent goals. Again, Reagan stated he wanted *all* the listed goals to get top priority. For more details on this & other goings on of the wretched Reagan regime, read the book "Sleepwalking Through History: America During The Reagan Years".
