human rights, you mean the low lifes that May tried to deport but couldn't because of their 'human rights'
I wasn't particularly thinking of that one, because it should still be impossible to deport them once we have left the EU. There is a UN treaty that prevents you deporting someone to a country where they face death or torture. I am pretty sure none of our politicians will want to end up in the hague.
Why would you support deporting someone who would face death or torture, who hasn't been arrested, charged or found guilty of a crime?
What I think is sad is that people gave up rights because they thought they could abuse foreigners and those foreigners will still have the same rights.
yet these same courts do F*ck all for law abiding British citizens when it comes to their human rights and a right to a family life. google 'spouse visa refused' where are these peoples human rights ? they have to rely on the British courts.
The first point of call is the British courts, they apply the UK and EU law. It's only if they apply it incorrectly that the ECJ overturn it.
The UK government are always messing with peoples human rights, in my opinion it's better that we have the EU to turn to than discard it. It appears you want to cut off your nose to spite your face.
my wife was a 'foreigner' even thou shes a British citizen now, she contributed a lot paying the higher rate of tax working as a A&E doctor.
Maybe not in a post brexit UK.

Not that the Junior doctors we're training will want to stay.
Foreigners from out side the EU have to contribute to the economy as they can't claim most benefits until they have ILR. while EU foreigners can almost instantly and having possibily contributed little or even nothing.
EU freedom of movement doesn't require us to take people who can't support themselves, The UK government chose to do that. The statistics show that the majority of EU citizens actually support themselves and contribute to the economy.
If you say it's unfair that EU citizens can easily come here, but not people from the rest of the world. Then sure, I'd love for their to be a global free movement of people, so we can all move to where we want to live and work.
Honestly though. Either enforce an alternative to democracy or respect the will of the people.
The will of which people? Less than half the population of the UK voted to leave. Anyone under 18 didn't get a chance to vote, UK citizens that had lived outside the UK too long were denied the vote (even though they may have paid tax their entire working life and will be seriously affected by the result of the vote). Leave won by 1.2%, people dying and people gaining the vote will have eroded that lead by the time we actually leave.
I certainly agree that we should enforce democracy. But don't even begin to suggest that the way the referendum was run has any part in a democracy. All we want is a fair vote based on truth and not out and out lies (as Mr Banks has already admitted to).
I'm pretty sure democracy gives us the chance to change our minds as new information becomes available, as our priorities change and as people die and new people gain the vote. Anyone suggesting we should never have another referendum about EU membership is against democracy.
We are all EU citizens, but you have more rights if you are living in another EU country, thats crazy.
There are always anomalies. EU Mobile roaming rules mean that phoning another EU country is cheaper when you are on holiday than when you're at home.
If we break from the EU like the hard liners want, then inflation and job losses are going to cripple the country. Not having to put up with a few weird rules won't help & the uk government will more than make up for it with enough weird rules of their own.
The lack of free movement of people is going to increase crime as people who are trying to escape a life of crime will find it harder to do so as they will will find it harder to make a new life in another country.
