Where's the malice in the cookie law?

It's an absurd law that's a prime example of how incompetence at a regulative level leads to a negative outcome in a specific sector. I 100% agree with that, but I fail to see how it can be compared to your other two examples. Cookie law doesn't affect your privacy in any way (and certainly not for the worse), it just gives you annoyances you have to deal with.

United states of Europe.

Just wait till the chatter about a combined EU army crops up again...

Just vote these morons out of parliament. I'm not surprised if they're the same ones that voted for article 13/17.

The EU flavour of democracy. Do what you're told, livestock.

Basically the majority of laws are now written by the EU. Welcome to democracy 2.0, where the campaign slogans for the EU parliament elections are something along the lines of

- "We love Europe... " - "If you love peace then you should love Europe..." - "Isn't Europe great... " - "We should make Europe even better ... " basically content free.

and then there are the right wing nationalists, which are equally deluded.
