Breaking News: MP's back brexit

Do you have a link to the story? I just tried googling the topic and there are references to it in France. I know some SMEs in particular in the EU object to hiring or interviewing EU workers, but that happens here too. I don't see it as a general thing - as attested to by the fact that many hundreds of thousands of British people work regularly in Europe.

Search "British ski instructor arrested". There are plenty of hits.
That was worst case, but in many more cases the employing of Brits - or anyone not French, Italian or Austrian, depending on which country you're in - is simply banned.

Looks like an extreme case of locals defending their turf being seized on by the Mail and UKIP, although the facts of the case (if accurately reported) are pretty awful. I am no defender of France's many egregious and blatant breaches of EU law, but then don't kippers constantly moan about Britain having been forced to obey those same laws?

And just because they voted Leave doesn't mean that this will influence which MP they vote for when the world has moved on over the next three years.

Areas which strongly supported capital punishment elected abolitionist MPs for decades before public opinion moved decisively against capital punishment.

And if they aren't waiting 3 years and there is an early election? Improbable, but CCHQ is already starting to enter general election mode rather than flurry of by election mode.

I can't see May having an early general election unless the Lords wreck the Brexit bill or she wants a public mandate for a final Brexit deal.

The latter is more likely than the former particularly if UKIP aren't dead and buried by then and they simply peddle the line that whatever she achieves they would have done better.

There is a long history of the public punishing PMs who call unnecessary elections.

There is also the risk of Corbyn quitting when the election is called and Labour uniting round a single figure for a short election campaign. She doesn't really want to be facing David Milliband acting as though he is the risen Christ.

The Lords won't make the that mistake, she will make the same threat Lloyd-George did.

It's not really a peasant mentality but if you asked the average person about the future of this country and our global influence or about the customs union, the schengen area etc they wouldn't have a clue.

That case is the extreme, but I have been threatened with arrest myself for the same thing. The practise (British instructors working according to their licenses) has been banned in France, Italy and regions of Austria and amounts to nothing more that protectionism.

And yes, they do moan about it. But we follow the rules while moaning. Others don't.

Which is why it's easier to go further afield.


Which then, in turn, goes back to the original point. Why's Europe special? Why should we have the right to go work wherever, whenever? Or rather, why should we only have that right in Europe? What's wrong with having to go through a visa process which, in the grand scheme of things, is hardly arduous. It's filling out a few forms. You do more box ticking to go on holiday.

Thats not how democracy works, fortunately.

Believing that an elite are better qualified than the ordinary people to steer the course of the country is a peasant mentality on steroids.

I'm not clear though, are you saying that people don't want to work in Europe? Vast numbers can and do. However, even if it's one sided and most want to come to the UK rather than the reverse, that hasn't been shown to be a bad thing for our economy, other than amongst the racists kippers.

It is how democracy works we live in a representative democracy not a direct democracy didn't vote on the Iraq war on on most government policy
