As an interesting aside in 1948, the British Empire which constituted 800 million people (30% of the global population) offered complete freedom of movement into Britain.

The principle was well understood that one of the ways of growing an economy and benefitting other regions elsewhere was the free movement of people.

The EU does not offer free movement into Britain. It offers limited movement only to those who live in the EU. The residents of the Commonwealth, and the rest of the world, get to look on, miserably.

Indeed @The Cowboy . Very unequal and discriminatory. The rich looking after the rich. And @The Esk , what does your quote have to do with Brexit? With Brexit we can do what we like and have as much or as little freedom of movement as we want. That is the whole point. We can make our own decisions with our sovereign parliamentary democracy

The Conservatives are giving labour an idea of what sort of brexit in a debate tomorrow, no vote to be given though its just a outline of our aims for Brexit which as I have posted is in material when the EU may just point two fingers at it ?

Not exactly a model Sovereign Parliamentary Democracy that you hold so dear though, is it?
 
@roydo The vote was to leave. I'm fine with Parliament debating whatever but we must leave. Referendums are a valid constitutional device in the same way a parliamentary election is. The votes of both must be abided by in a democracy

I said the following the other day:

The Esk said:
As a member of Nato, WTO, the UN, an observor of International Law and a signatory to multiple treaties, trade deals and bilateral agreements how much sovereignty do you think we really have?

The admission today that we will use the single market regulations for WTO entry proves the point.

It was, and I am fine with that. Was hardly a fervent stayer anyrate.

But I laugh at how it seems some folk want centuries of constitutional process utterly ignored based on a frankly laughable referendum campaign.

I said it at the time, and I do not waver from it, we really havnt thought this through.

Still an EU POLICTICAL BODY sticking the noses in with their rediculous rules on trade outside the EU that's why we need free WTO trade!

Completely wrong I'm afraid. They fell foul of block exemption as they were basically price rigging (which was common before the legislation arrived in 2003) They were stifling competition by creating fixed trading territories that were upheld by price differences to their distributors.

They go what they deserved. Not surprisingly their Chairman was staunchly pro Brexit.

Good that they broke a piece of legislation that ensures competition amongst brand specific retailers and ensures that the public aren't the subject of uncompetitive price fixing?

Strange set of morals you work to Joey, to say you're one eyed is an understatement. EU = 100% bad is completely delusional. There's plenty of EU legislation that benefits the UK consumer and block exemption is one such example
