Whenever Brexiters laugh at the idea of the EU being a bulwark against war and snigger about “Project Fear”, I wonder what it is about this idea that is too complicated for them.
@oliverturner maybe they think that setting norms on the dimensions of cucumbers and other silly EU directives are out of scope for the organization described there?
OTOH, I like EU despite this sillyness.
@oliverturner I think by just mentioning Kant you would lose most of those people. I think the odds of them knowing who that is is very low.
