Sure, but the cars on the road violated law. And huge fines were paid and people went to prison. In the US, anyhow.

The only threat to democracy I can see is brexiteers and their determination to avoid a democratic vote once the deal is known.
What are you smoking? It is insurance against brexit, full stop.
Rees-Mogg says one thing (Brexit is good for business), and takes actions that are the diametric opposite (moves his business out of the UK and into the EU).
It really is that simple.
Not :) That's why he is moving his company into the EU.
Stop being stupid, what difference does it make moving to the EU if we are still in the EU as a in name only deal would be?
You really should think before you post or people will think you are harry.
He hasn?t moved all his business out of the UK and into the EU and what makes sense as insurance with PART of his business doesn?t necessarily apply to the total of all business in the UK.
No it isnt.
In what way?
If te law is constrained to passing the tests, they obeyed the law.
Mmm.
But not in Germany...

Ah. The "I'm only a little bit pregnant" argument.
s/pregnant/guilty/ if you prefer.
Nope.
He isnt guilty of anything.
The laws was written around minimising particular emissions.
The car passed the tests because the motor was controlled to operate in a particular way when it was in what could be recognised as the test condition.
In normal use, the motor operated in way that produced a lot more emissions., and more extended testing revealed this. This did break the law.
John Larkin hasn't provided a link to any criminal convictions and prison sentences, and I can't recall any. He isn't a witness I'd rely on.

Legally? No.
Morally and/or ethically? Yes.
It looks like 40 months plus $200,000
By killing people, for starters.

"defeat devices" (HW/SW) that interferes with or disables emissions controls under real-world driving conditions, even if the vehicle passes formal emissions testing are illegal
Which people? Those killed by the extra diesel fumes? You'd have a hard time linking that to a specific car manufacturer.
In any case, I'd be just as inclined to blame the gumment inspectors, who OKed the test results.

Wrong. The most he is doing is taking some insurance in case that fool May ends up with a brexit in name only. Nothing immoral or unethical about doing that.
It can't be for that. If it BRINO there is no advantage in him moving the business to the EU. You have been told this already but seem to be too stupid to understand. Are you stuck in a wet paper bag full of bullshit?
To help you out.. he has moved it because if brexit goes ahead he expects to be better off with it in the EU.
Has he stated that he will bring his company back to the UK in the event of a no-deal Brexit?
That's the only way your statement could be valid.
Not an issue I am interested in.
As it may...however, in what way is any of that an argument against the EU being fundamentally undemocratic?, which is what I am interested in?
