In reply to the discussion: Possibly momentous ruling from the EU high court [View all]DFW
(54,349 posts)38. France and Belgium regularly pass measures that contradict European Law
Here the EU high court is throwing the UK a real bone by essentially saying, OK, you fucked up, but we'll let you off the hook this time.
It would be madness if they didn't jump at the chance.
Of course when has madness ever been an obstacle to a government doing something stupid? Let's hope a majority in Parliament realizes the golden ticket they've been offered here, and decides to use it.

No, this is a court ruling, not "what the EU have stated the whole time"
