The EU archived “Euromyths” printed in UK media (2018)
Here is the actual list of myths with some text on each one. [1] This gets posted on HN a lot, but sometimes I feel like I&#x27;m the only one who actually clicks through and reads the debunking? Only about a 30 - 40% are actually false (eg. &quot;No EU plan to ban Union Flag from British meat packs&quot;), the majority are true, and the &quot;debunking&quot; takes the form of explaining why it&#x27;s a good thing (eg. &quot;EC plan to ban noisy toys&quot;, &quot; EU to ban powerful vaccuum cleaners&quot;), or there are no facts involved at all 
and they try to debunk someones opinion (&quot;EU does not favour criminals over victims&quot;).<p>Also popular is distinction without a difference. The classic banana myth is one of these - No they don&#x27;t ban vegetables with the wrong dimensions, they just put them in a lower quality class that no supermarkets will buy.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wayback.archive-it.org&#x2F;11980&#x2F;20191004103218&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogs.ec.europa.eu&#x2F;ECintheUK&#x2F;euromyths-a-z-index&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wayback.archive-it.org&#x2F;11980&#x2F;20191004103218&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;...</a>
