The Great Repeal Bill Confusion
The great repeal bill will be published today. The bill will bring EU laws into UK law and will be triggered when the UK finally leaves the EU. This makes sense as some laws will need tweaked to be UK specific. The problem is the Government aren't really clear what this means. Brexit Secretary David Davis speaking on Sky News said,
"We take all the European Law that exists on the last day and put it into British law so that British courts and the British Parliament in the future can change it if they so wish"
He then went on to say "we won't be changing any of the laws that we put in"
Then he said "you can't just change 40 years in 2 years and to give us the time over the coming years to change anything we want to. We won't want to change everything, there are lots of parts of European law that are good and parts that we approve of but there will be things we want to put right."
So within a few seconds he went from "change it if they so wish" to "we won't be changing any of the laws that we put in" then to "change anything we want to", confused yet?
My biggest worry is this. As an example, the Government has promised to protect workers rights when it is returned to Westminster but the confusion of David Davis in under 30 seconds doesn't give me much hope. Will they?, won't they? or will there be another twist? Who knows?
All I know is we need to all be wary of what they tell us. Article 50 has been triggered and we are now left to the mercy of this right wing tory party who want nothing more that to conrtol more of our lives. The Brexit decision is irreversible and the EU now won't be there to save us this Tory dictatorship.
Just Saying...
