It's not something I would particularly like to happen, You think Britian is going to take away worker rights and there is going to be hunger in Europe because they left the EU?? That's just silly.

A few years down the line when people no longer have any worker's rights, no job security and are even poorer. Civil unrest happens when people are hungry and have nothing left to lose. It will be the young that riot. I did not say that there would be hunger in Europe, but in Britain. Regarding taking away worker's rights I've posted the links before although there's also this one: Want to know the reality of employment law after Brexit? Just look at this document the government buried four years ago (June 26, 2016 at 4:22 am)Mathilda Wrote: Worker's rights. They want to remove them so they can maximise profit for corporations and businesses and stimulate the economy. This is why they wanted to leave the EU. This is why they're going back on all the lies about controlling the borders, the £350m a week spent on the NHS and why Boris Johnson says that there is no rush to leave. They want what the EU has to offer but without the worker's rights.

That far-right parties automatically get control of Britain. That's obviously not the case, since they don't have control of Britain now. The people there aren't in favor of that, they just want out of the E.U. Also assuming that somehow withdrawing from the E.U. means there won't be any trade between the UK and the EU, even though that's just not true at all. I don't see how you could possibly assume that it'll effect their food supply. Actually it might even help, since the EU has silly anti-GMO laws and now Britain will have greater access to the worlds number one producer of food, which is the United States. The EU doesn't grow very much food anyway.(June 26, 2016 at 6:26 pm)CapnAwesome Wrote: You think Britian is going to take away worker rights and there is going to be hunger in Europe because they left the EU?? That's just silly. Hunger is the UK. lol. Why do people have to have so much hyperbole about everything. Also those links don't say anything like what you are claiming, it's just a link to a single UK law that doesn't have anything to do with the EU anyway, why is that going anywhere? Hardly evidence that workers rights are going to diminish in a country that has had very strong workers rights long before the EU even existed. Quote:They want what the EU has to offer but without the worker's rights. Ah....so there is always some poor schlub being sold a bill of goods about "freedom" and there is always some scum-sucking corporate pig manipulating them. Nice work, Mathilda.
What a wonderful idea, becoming more dependent on US, right down to the food you eat. That's what independence looks like, for sure.
Why do I feel like Gollum being handed the ring all of a sudden?
