It matters not what Parliament moves, motions, acts or debates – there is NO safeguard, because you’re subjects of the crown, which can hardly be said to be exactly open or transparent.

That’s exactly what’s going on here imo, and nobody seems to want to mention it, only flaky ‘trade-deals & immigration stats…. Wake up!!!
Maybe it's past your bedtime Golden Years... Huh?
I'm going to go underground, what's your plan?

Loads of good beer comes from the results of their think-tanks.
Which the UK - embroiled once again in Party bleeding Politics instead of stepping up to face the biggest potential disaster since someone stole the Jules Rimet trophy - is still sadly lacking.

Aside from the petty stuff I question some of the statements that are made as truth when they aren't or when they make assumptions about the future which are by no means guaranteed.
It's not my fault if people leap to the wrong conclusions about my own thoughts on any of those matters.
For example, simply questioning whether Brexit will lead to fewer foreign-sourced workers doing low-skilled work such as in agriculture doesn't indicate any opinion on the matter other than me questioning whether it will happen. And if it doesn't look likely, why is it being used as such a handy example? Are they even immigrants or just seasonal workers anyway?
I also questioned in the last couple of days, in the light of a newspaper article on the subject, whether car wash workers are in fact likely to be claiming all those in-work benefits they're accused of draining the country of. That one didn't get a response either.
I also questioned whether the UK would be showing any signs of what some claim we can be looking forward to in years to come but by and large that seemed to get brushed aside in favour of saying that the years of EU membership had loused up any chance of that.

Maternity & Paternity leave,
and my own personal favourite, the EU legislation requiring employers' to pay for employees eye-tests (every 3 years?). I personally saw one case where someone's sight was saved by that.
Plus, anything under
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which enshrines certain political, social, and economic rights for European Union (EU) Citizens and Residents into EU law. You'll note the word Citizens (I imagine you'll foam at the mouth), and we haven't even got near Residents yet either....

I politely asked what the precious rights were that you were talking about regarding your "Subject" Vs "Citizen" point.
Do you think a UK government will say "sod it, truck drivers can now drive 20 hours a day, we don't care"?
Or that the HSE legislation in the UK which has always been ahead of most EU countries will now be dropped by a Labour government?
What Fundamental Rights from the charter do you see the UK doing away with?

Well I still think it was the 1948 act that changed the status to "citizen" so lets just agree to differ.

Okay. It was advisory. True or false?
