Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Struck me that J-RM was doing a fine job rubbishing the activities of the Head Honcho DDavies . . . who, for my money is a rabbit caught in double-headlights: one from the EU negotiators, and another from the Remain group which is most of Parliament.
I do winder what MP know that their constituents fail to grasp... could it be the MP wishes to retire on EU Pension, with lavish meals over drinks.... if they don't make it to the very English drinking Club attached to HoC?
IMHO. the "Representatives" in Parliament are only there as the best of the worst.... and do not represent the tide of humanity that pay their wages.
Grr.

The UK is a 'vassal state' - Rees-Mogg and David Davis go to war over Brexit

https://www.rt.com/uk/416868-brexit-jacob-rees-mogg/


Rees-Mogg was furious over the prospect.

“Allowing continued Court of Justice jurisdiction, it’s hard to think of any precedent anywhere in the world where an independent nation has taken the judgements of a foreign court as its superior and immediate law without having any judge on that court,” he said.

Can't argue with that logic. I suppose we could do a Nelson and turn a blind eye but why go there in the first place? Dumb.

It depends on whether the laws, rules, or regulations are good or not and the consequences of transgressing them.

(edited)

if laws etc are good, then it may be that they would be or are already in uk books
consequences imposed by or on whom?

Laws etc. develop and change according to developments within a society.

Implemented locally and by various levels and variety of courts.

For me, it seemed sensible to expect a similar standard of "laws" and implementation in Handsworth, Birmingham, London the UK and in Europe.

There is bound to be variation in "implementations" of the laws according to "local" needs.

To me, it seems to be reasonable to have a superior court or structure to review those laws and implementation.

it's a matter of fact that the law tends to lag sociey's mores of the time, which in some ways is no bad thing

however, except in certain areas, there is no one-size-fits-all with regard to law even across the whole of europe (you forgot about the world!)

in specific, i and most others thought it outrageous that echj blocked uk from deporting abu hamza in case he got tortured when he was returned whence he came ...... we should care? ...... in this specific, assuredly not

i also do not think that prisoners serving long (to define) sentences should have the right to vote

there are many other areas where i think uk courts should have the final say over what happens within uk

I thought that England was the world.

if that is so, then we most assuredly don't need any interference from europe!

We will have to bypass Europe when we go to the rest of the world.

Bloody long route.

according to you, uk is the world :-)

Not since I read the "Little World of Don Camillo".

surely he didn't mention england?

The banks of the River Po and inhabitants sometimes seem similar to Little England.

Little England voted remain Bigger England voted leave.

Soon be out , happy days.

Trump confirms for the benefit of Fred that the USA loves the UK and trade talks to start imminently.

Dil.

That is why you will have an empty stocking next Christmas.
