I most definitely have.
I'm busy pointing out the flaws in brexit.
The needless damage.
The unhappy demonstrators.
The poverty.
The falling GDP per capita.
Etc etc.

Yes indeed, phenomenon that started whilst we were in the EU
British rail fares among highest in Europe - but routinely let down
A survey of the state of the nation's trains is released today by consumer champion Which? amid concerns passengers travelling in Britain find it hard to complain and claim compensation.

So people can have a say in the legislation that effects their lives?
Ordinary British people now don't have a say.
It's weird to see that held up as a good thing.
Why do they need to have a say in the legislation that affects another country?
I trade with various companies every day, we agree terms and supply/receive goods as required but we do not have a say in how each others business is run.

Goodness me.
I don't buy anything made by slave labour if I can possibly avoid it.
Would you like to take this opportunity to say the same thing?
Where has slave labour come into it? Does EU legislation stop slave labour?
If I don't like the way a company does business I take my business elsewhere and vice versa.

Why hasn't brexit fixed the UK housing market?

That's not a condemnation of slave labour.
I'm sure you will take the opportunity to do so soon though.
And you haven't said if EU legislation stops it. I'm sure you'll tell us shortly though.

You would say that wouldn’t you, short on anything to back it up. Did you know our exports to the EU have fallen by 25% since 2007?
Do you know anything about British workers being under cut by east European work gangs due to FOM?
Do you know that the most accurate predictor of how someone voted in the referendum is wealth. ? The wealthy voted remain because they saw the benefits for to themselves whereas ordinary people didn’t
Do you know the IMF are forecasting the U.K. to have the highest cumulative growth for a G7 country from 2021 to 2028?
Do you know UK services industry exports are enjoying a post Brexit boom?
I could go on, but I know your not interested

A moment ago you were certain that there was nothing that could possibly be to do with trade that would be needing a parliament.
Now you're wanting to know what they're doing to prevent such outrageous violations of norms.
Do pick a lane.
Landmark due diligence legislation agreed in the EU - Anti-Slavery International
In the early hours of Thursday 14 December, the European Parliament, European Commission and Council of the European Union reached a definitive political agreement on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.

Trade in the 21st century requires consensus on serious, far reaching, technical bits of legislation with ethical and cultural sensibilities taken into account and the pretense otherwise is frankly tedious at this point in time.
The idea that you'd commit to a massive ongoing democratic deficit is very much on brand though.

Is that out of date?

No I'm wondering if the legislation passed by the EU parliament has stopped slavery. If the answer is no (as I suspect it is) then why is it needed? Why can individual countries not pass legislation themselves and carry on trading with likeminded countries?
