So the Brexit to EU is like KGB to US? Why do you want to keep UK inside EU then?

[oblio]

I'm not keeping anything, anywhere. The UK can do whatever it wants, as far as I care.

I was just doing a reductio ad abusrdum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum) to show you that your logic was faulty.

[temp8964]

You didn't. I proved your RU-US example did not fit in the context of UK-EU.

[oblio]

You proved how? Why would the EU not be allowed to publish things proving that what the UK newspaper articles are false?

Is there some sort of legal principle I'm missing that says that government entities are not allowed to defend themselves from lies?
