That certainly sounds productive.
Anyway I thought you were all for listening to experts?

you are again implying that criticism of the legislation is the same as criticism of the legislature
You know that pretty much every person who's signed that letter thinks the UK leaving the EU is a stupid idea. Because nearly everyone with a professional qualification does, nearly everyone who has to attend international seminars does, nearly everyone who talks or thinks about things for a living or knows anything about how the world around them works does.

Hey i'm trying to keep this to a single issue not the wider brexit stuff.
Anyway you're free to say it's a bad law now without upsetting the eu's feelings because it's just been rejected.

Now if we can only get out before they try something like this again that would be nice.

and there we have it
the decision went your way and you still feel persecuted. There is literally nothing they could do that would convince you that this otherness you feel is all in your head

Still feel persecuted?
Well yes because it was a close thing.
And sadly it looks like it's not over.
"In practice, the vote only delays the final decision on the rules and gives the European Parliament more time to deliberate on them. Another decision will be taken in September."
Shall we pick this up in a couple of months?

They nearly did something that would fuck over the internet.
I like the internet, I take offence when people try to fuck it over.
Btw 278 for it 318 against 31 abstaining and they get to vote again in September. What is it about the EU that makes people want to keep voting on the same thing until people vote the right way?
Anyway tata for now benny!

what sort of slice off the British economy would you be prepared to sacrifice to make sure we arent subjected to a poorly conceived copyright law?
Could you quantify it? How many millions unemployed? How many quarters of negative growth? That sort of thing

typically votes happen more than once, it's equivalent to first reading, second reading in the UK
where the bill is passed to and from lower and upper house, you know, democracy. Except the upper house in the EU is elected.

A lot of people were hoping that it being defeated would be the end of it but apparently now.
I'll just have to keep being a boring sod complaining about it until they stop trying to pass it.
