Bizarrely the orange sex pest seems to have done an interview with Michael Gove for the Times.

So, the orange sex pest's interview with the rubber-faced man has been published. The sort of drivel you'd expect, except for one rather eye opening passage in which it's revealed that he doesn't like the EU:

His pessimism about the EU is rooted in his view of it as anti-jobs and anti-growth. And it springs, as so much of his world view does, from his experience as a businessman rather than any ideological preconception.

“I own a big property in Ireland, magnificent property called Doonbeg. What happened is I went for an approval to do this massive, beautiful expansion — that was when I was a developer, now I couldn’t care less about it . . . but I learnt a lot because . . . they were using environmental tricks to stop a project from being built. I found it to be a very unpleasant experience. To get the approvals from the EU would have taken years. I don’t think that’s good for a country like Ireland. So you know what I did? I said forget it, I’m not gonna build it.”

So, the tiny handed mental lightweight hates the EU... because of environmental protection laws that stopped him from building a gaudy monument to tat.

Care to name some irrational EU environmental protection rules?

[boogers]

So no, you can't. Jolly good.

Chinese media have been describing the orange sex pest as a 'risible rookie'

Quite amazing to have such widespread international contempt for a US President before they have even taken office. And that is saying something after G.W.

[boogers]

I gave you an example from a field that i'm familiar with completely, not good enough?

No. The examples you cited are culturally subjective but not irrational.

There probably are EU environmental regulations which are anti-growth, but you haven't been able to cite them. Ultimately there needs to be a balance between what's best economically and best environmentally, else we end up living in polluted shit holes like Upper Silesea or Beijing.

[boogers]

Well, people here decided they are irrational and took measures against them.

Cultural subjectivity.

I'm not unable to i just won't bother to google, i could also ask some entrepreneur friends about specific environmental regulations that were harmful to them i just won't bother to waste my precious time with it when tons of the EU's anti-growth BS is common knowledge.

The same way Trump gave that Irish example, they messed, he didn't build it.. i have lots of experience with the EU messings, some people would call that anecdotal fallacy, fine to me, np , people are taking measures and in the long run the messing bureaucrats will find themselves in big trouble, they are kinda in it already, just look at the Brexit, the migrant crisis+terrorist attacks, people are listening to them less and less, also they'll become a joke the world will laugh at. You can deny that til kingdom come but that's how it is.

Ah, PPP knows. Now there's an appeal to authority that's hard to look away from.

Firstly, support for the EU in EU countries has risen since the Brexit vote. Secondly, Trump appears to be lying about Doonbeg. It was the local council not the EU that raised concerns.

Actual lol.

Well, if he ventures out of his safe space I figure he's fair game.
