Women Set To Lose Rights To Equal Pay – In Bonfire Of Eu Regulations

[Hymie]

I told you this would happen as a result of the Tory government removing citizens rights gained through EU membership; this was not a mistake, but a deliberate removal of the right. Unless the government re-instates the law it will be lost at the end of the year.

There will be many other similar rights we will lose, which will come out of the woodwork as time goes by.

My mate Phil explains more in the youtube video.

Carved in stone above Hymie's grave it will be inscribed, "He never recovered from Brexititis"

nay nay - or noy noy....

"Brexit kills"

//Then why remove all these hated EU originating laws (giving UK citizens rights), if as you claim, our own laws already give us these rights?//

Because normal (i.e.non-EU) countries do not have their day-to-day legislation determined by foreign officials. The idea of our Parliament is that it is sovereign. It alone determines what laws apply in the UK. It’s a concept that you will never grasp and one which you either ignore or dismiss whenever people who voted to leave engage with you. All you bang on about is the economy and as I’ve suggested many times previously, the economy is not all there is to live for.

//NJ – it’s good to know that you are aware of which rights we are going to lose as a result of these 100s of EU based laws being ditched –//

I’m sorry to disappoint you but I have absolutely no idea which rights we are going to lose. However, based on the small sample you have mentioned, I would suggest the number will be quite small, if any at all. We’ve examined two in detail (air passenger compensation and equal pay) and it is as clear as day that those rights will be preserved. You also provided a list of another half a dozen or so, most of which were frankly so ridiculous as to deserve no response:

• The prohibition of slavery and forced labour
• The right to liberty
• The right to a fair trail
• The right to education
• The right to free elections
• The right to freedom of movement
• The right to compensation for wrongful conviction

The only one worth discussing is the “right to freedom of movement”. I don’t know whether you mean the right to move freely within the UK (in which case it’s equally as ridiculous as the others) or the right to settle and work elsewhere in the EU. If the latter, this only comes about because of the EU’s delusional insistence on being treated as a single entity.

You seem to be of the opinion that most, if not all of the rights enjoyed by UK citizens only existed courtesy of the EU. I have demonstrated, at least in the small number that you have mentioned, that this is clearly incorrect. I really don’t know why you have this paranoid belief that a UK government (whether Labour or Tory) would strip away these rights, many of which have endured for hundreds of years and survived changes of government, world wars, constitutional changes and everything else thrown at us. But suddenly, because we have left the EU (of which we were a member for less than 50 years) you believe they are in jeopardy. Why is this? I’m genuinely intrigued.

[youngmafbog]

We all know why NJ, but we will get banned or suspended if we write it.

[Deskdiary]

I'm amazed you bother NJ.

Hymie has been comprehensively beaten on pretty much every one of his threads, but he's taken no notice. He will go onto to post future threads and he'll be routinely beaten again, and again will take no notice.

In a weird way I admire his self-belief, despite it being unwarranted.

[Hymie]

The anti-British are those supporting Brexit which is devastating for the UK – if I advocated some plan that did this much damage to our country, I would accept that indeed I am anti-British.

I could post a different Brexit disaster story everyday on this site, but you’d think I had become obsessive – anyway here is another one for you.

[Hymie]

Unless the government does something to sort out this mess of getting rid of 100s of EU based laws, I’m am very confident that come 2024 we will start to see all sorts of problems as a result of this – and I will be telling you all, I told you so.

[New Judge]

There may be one or two problems. You cannot expect 50 years of increasingly deep political and legal entwinement to be unravelled without some hiccups. The thing is not to make huge dramas out of them. The country will survive and be much better off for it - even with your pessimism.

I for one am looking forward to the return of knitted swimwear and a resurgent Brentford Nylons.

Ah, the good old days.

[ToraToraTora]

Your patience with this wally is astounding judge.

[Hymie]

I’m sorely tempted to start a daily Brexit disaster posting on AB for the benefit of TTT, and anyone else who thinks it a fantastic success.

[youngmafbog]

Go on then Hymnie, we all could do with a good laugh (at you).

[Zacs-Master]

‘I’m sorely tempted to start a daily Brexit disaster posting on AB’

You mean you haven’t already?

[ToraToraTora]

"I’m sorely tempted to start a daily Brexit disaster posting on AB for the benefit of TTT, and anyone else who thinks it a fantastic success." - err another one?

'Jeremy Hunt has hailed news today that the UK economy has grown much faster than believed post-pandemic.'

The UK received a major boost this morning as revised figures from Office of National Statistics show the economy recovered from the pandemic even faster than Germany, France and Japan

[Old_Geezer]

All this can not be so. Apparently Brexit never happened.

Why does any UK citizen throw away their vote on the existing main parties (or should that be party ?)
