No I am not suggesting leaving or staying in the EU will make flying more or elss safer .- and as the isle of man is not in the Eu but seemingly conforms with Eu regulations it isnt going to make a difference there.It was just a comment about the views on Eu bureaucracy are usually over simplified.
As for the isle of Mans status it is not in the EU but it certainly isn't a country or a state or a nation either. It is a Crown Dependency which allows it to make its own laws but for foreign affairs and defence it depends on and defers to the UK , hence my neither fish nor foul remark.
All of which was intended to underline that the whole business very odd from the start and doesn't seem to have got a lot clearer by now either
