This Should Worry Us All

Given up on the Indie, they employ third rate journalists to print utter tripe. As for these so called journos speaking to "experts", they need to learn in order to make a news story credible they need facts, balance and checks. Indie journos (and the others) don't do that, so as far as I'm concerned its just white noise.

Surely anyone can see post-Brexit we can hold our Government more accountable for what they do - any future Government will be unable to blame "Brussels". Isn't that a good thing? Do people seriously believe post Brexit we will have a dictatorship in place where all rights are swept away after we leave the EU? I smell desperation.

Interesting quote from David Davis ... "If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy."

Francovich https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francovich_v_Italy is a law that was brought in by the EU that should for example have protected CampelloChris and his wife in Spain and still should even though he has had a terrible time with the Spanish.

The issue is that the Great Repeal bill, which sounds great incorporating all existing EU law into British law, has the power for serious abuse, it is in the exceptions the things that they choose not to incorporate where the problems lie and given the sheer number of laws which will be processed watching those exceptions is of utmost importance.

We currently live under the provisions of those laws, therefore removal of any of them directly affects you and me and all of the rest of us, so when those choices are being made behind closed doors where is the accountability.

That article refers to Francovich and there are plenty of other news sources stating that this is what the government is proposing, and this is just one instance, the excuse is that they believe Francovich is linked to EU membership and therefore no longer relevant to the UK, well it would still be relevant in the UK in the sense that many other laws which were brought into effect over the last 30 odd years would have had this redress automatically attached and I can't see a valid reason why this provision should be removed from all those other laws simultaneously.

This is basically a direct attack on UK labour law where hitherto there would have been recourse to sue the government for failure to implement or adhere to measures agreed while we were members of the EU, this is one of the most vulnerable areas, one small clause in the repeal bill can have huge dramatic consequences for all of us and there will doubtless be hundreds of little clauses like this hidden away in the bill that will subtly weaken our rights.

When the bill comes to parliament (next month by the way), this is where politicians from all sides do their job and dot the i's and cross the t's. Labour have made a big deal about this, so now its their chance to ensure the job is done properly so the Tories can't be seen to do some "serious abuse".

I don't have a lot of faith in the competency or motives of either side at the moment.
