And what makes you think that this or similar laws will be abandoned by any UK gov after Brexit?

I do not know how UK members-of-EU-parliament voted, or if they indeed voted in one solid bloc against the law but I would think that there must be some very strong financial interests in action here, extending beyond the corpus of small-time-crooks within the EU parliament.

I can not just believe that it is idiocy or some other inability to think coherently, the reason that such a blatant (and idiotic in its execution) law was proposed in the first place.

And I can not just believe that when any country leaves the EU, their collective common sense will increase and will see the light. They will only be subjected to different kind of financial interests which may or may not favour such a law for the time being, hence adopt a different program of brain wash.

It may be true that a smaller country can be controlled easier by the voters. Maybe, but it is rarely reality in the countries around me. For example, millions against iraq war but it did happen and it was broad daylight, with blatant lies.

Do we know who benefits from this law? Who lobbied for it?
