[IsraelTimes] Lance Forman says needless EU regulations cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, causing him to quote economics, not immigration, as his motive for leaving the union.
One of Forman’s pet peeves is the EU’s penchant for regulation and the problem it creates for small businesses like his. As an example, he cites EU dictates that in 2003 forced him to slap a warning label ‐ "May contain fish" ‐ on transparent packages of smoked salmon at a cost of $20,000 for new packages.
It’s "ridiculous," Forman said. "If a person who’s allergic to fish doesn’t know that smoked salmon isn’t good for them, then the allergy is the least of their problems."
For Forman, the nativist arguments for Brexit ‐ chief among them that EU membership increases immigration at the expense of native Britons ‐ take a distant backseat to the economic ones. He believes the euro will collapse within the next 15 years and, when it does, "EU economies will crash and the United Kingdom will get sucked into the mess, just as it has in the past."
Forman is an enthusiastic supporter of Brexit. In May, he was elected to the Europe

an Parliament for the Brexit Party, the anti-EU party led by Nigel Farage, the provocative British politician who has been criticized for employing anti-Semitic tropes.
