Please don’t do what others do by suggesting it would be sunny uplands, I’ve always been very clear that we will take a hit for a number of years, but not even your wished for comprehensive plan could have foretold Covid not the energy crisis. Also the repeating ad nauseam of holding cards, needing us more than them etc is a bit boring tbh and doesn’t reflect peoples views on here.
So now you accuse leavers as cheering the demise of laws for food standards, environmental standards and employment protection. You do realise that the U.K. is a leader on all these issues and has been around long enough to determine safe standards, what do you think all of our Civil Servants and Agencies do. Having the ability to remove restrictive laws, whatever they be, for the benefit of the U.K. is the right thing to do. Laws emanating from Brussels are by necessity a compromise because no two EU countries are the same or want the same. Well now we can put in place what is good for us and not have to compromise with 27 others.
Anyway, we are now out of the EU, and I would really like to see a benefits list of why some people think we should rejoin because so far my simple request has fallen on stony ground…….
People have answered your question. I am not personally politically savvy enough to argue all the nuances but the European human rights law was pretty good, as I understand it. Now they are taking that away and you say that the UK are a leader in all these things, yet I believe that we know that there has been far more pollution of waterways than we had under an EU environmental law. So once the human rights are taken away I guess this wonderfully socially conscious government we have will make things better than what was under the EU human rights law.....right?
Freedom of movement has been mentioned countless times, yet it obviously gets ignored by some.
European funding was a very good source for some communities to get more funding for community based projects.
In my opinion, the UK had a decent level of autonomy away from the EU, in regards to being able to control our borders, etc. So, for me there was no reason to leave, as the risks of losing trade, freedom of movement, etc. outweigh the benefits that the relationship with the EU brought.
So, we come back to the question that I have not personally seen an answer to. Name one current benefit of Brexit? It could also be answered if you see any benefits that are definitely signed off for the future?
