UK to leave EU

[I_am_not_mafia]

The Tories were demanding far too much. And it was good that the EU told them to fuck off. I don't want the Tories trying to wriggle out of denying me my rights as a worker to have a modicum of job stability and work life balance. Do you actually know what the Tories were trying to get rid of? Do you even care? Or is it just generic red tape to you because that's what you have been told?

Oh come on then name them. This should be interesting. Human rights act? We need that do we?

Working Time Directive which I have since posted about.

You tell me why we don't benefit from the Human Rights Act. First hit on google is

The Human Rights Act is a UK law passed in 1998. It means that you can defend your rights in the UK courts and that public organisations (including the Government, the Police and local councils) must treat everyone equally, with fairness, dignity and respect.

What's wrong with that?

Do you think that red tape is like a natural waste product that just builds up over time through no reason? Regulations are put in place to protect us from the corporations who would sell out all our quality of lives to maximise their own profit margins.

Please don't lecture me on the EU being the harbinger of not selling out to corporations when the current EU commissioner was president of one of the biggest tax havens in the world and did nothing at all to change it.

You're avoiding the point that I am making. Red tape is there to protect us and the environment. Each regulation came about for a reason. If the EU commissioner as president sold out to corporations then this is entirely irrelevant.
