Like you give a !!!! about rights. You only care about your own money. What about all our rights that were given away under the Maastricht and Lisbon Treaties without even asking us?0 -
Sounds like a good idea, it makes you wonder why there isn't one of these directories in the first place.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0

Remainers were not concerned with us handing over rights to Brusells, why the sudden interest?
Brits go live in Turkey and many other parts of the world, OK a bit more involved but we can live with it far better than we can live without sovereignty, and we save £28 million per day to spend on ourselves, a right in itself.
Yes Turkey. Fantastic. Social unrest, bombs, terrorism and government autocracy.
I suggest you go and try it for a while. Last time I was in Istanbul I was caught up in the police tear gassing a bunch of students and families on istiklal. Won't be hurrying back but maybe you can go and explain to them why there are all so much better off outside the EU (that they are desperate to join).0 -
I bought a bunch of these for Xmas presents from Amazon.

I think this may be where it gets tricky because our right to live and work in the EU is determined by EU law, not UK law. So is the UK Parliament even relevant? .
Yes - because that EU law was incorporated into UK law by the 1972 act - which granted us those rights but for some of them (like our freedom of movement) conditionally so on the basis of remaining in the EU.
Any move to take us out of the EU is therefore a move to rescind or restrict the rights of British citizens granted through legislation - and that can only be achieved through an act of Parliament.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Seems a bit weird that Theresa May's 'big idea' is to create a 'yellow pages' of exporters...
Have these people never heard of google?“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Errr? Make your mind up?
Labour are being dishonest and practicing the dark arts of duplicityConfusion as Corbyn says he won't block Brexit
The apparent U-turn has caused confusion among Labour MPs and comes after Mr Corbyn outlined his "Brexit bottom lines".Jeremy Corbyn will vote to lead Britain out of the EU, despite setting out a series of Brexit red lines for Theresa May.
The Labour leader told a newspaper that he would join forces with Conservative Remain supporters and other parties to block the process for leaving the European Union if the Prime Minister does not guarantee access to the single market and other conditions.
But this morning a source close to Mr Corbyn told Sky News Labour's support for triggering Article 50 - the starting gun for leaving the EU - was "unconditional".

The Right to make our Laws.
The Right to control Immigration.
The Right to conduct Trade Deals.
So yes I think you are being deceitful - you don't give a !!!! about rights - the only right you give a !!!! about is your your right to line your own pocket. At least you can be honest and stop trying to take the moral high ground as if you are some civil rights campaigner.

The right to swagger around espousing racism and xenophobia...
Anyway, I have yet to meet a single Brexitard who can name a single EU law that has been imposed upon them they they disagree with.
Theresa May is currently trying to conduct a trade deal with India. Apparently the Indians, slightly annoyed to say the least, at the UK blocking the EU's attempt at forming one for years, and at the UK's awful prejudice toward student visitors from South Asia, are sending her away with a flea in her ear.
If thats more of what we have to look forward to in the brave new world of Brexit Britain then god help us.0
