nauseus Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 11 hours ago, 7by7 said: If I make a claim, I provide evidence; you should try it some time. As for proof of your ignorance of the Lisbon Treaty, you have condemned yourself in many previous posts and done so yet again here. The proof? I have already provided that in two Full fact articles and one FCO document; go back and read them, if you dare. Do that and you will discover that yet again your belief in what is contained in the treaty is wrong. Heath's White Paper was not delivered to every home in the country in 1972, Wilson's leaflet was in 1975. But neither Heath nor Wilson ever denied that joining the EEC would entail some loss of sovereignty in certain areas of common interest; indeed they made it clear on many occasions! No, Britain wasn't lied to when we joined the EU. We knew what we were getting into. But although some sovereignty was lost, in all non EU related matters the UK Parliament remained sovereign. Britain, the EU and the Sovereignty Myth Even the oft quoted nonsense that the ECJ can and often does overrule all UK courts is a lie. It is only supreme in matters of EU law. In all other legal matters it is the UK's own Supreme Court which is supreme. With one exception; human rights. In which case the ECHR and it's court holds supremacy. But contrary to many Brexiteers belief, neither the ECHR nor it's court have anything to do with the EU. Your interpretation of the word evidence is a ropy as Heath's of the word essential. I have found Full Fact often to be more like Full of It and rather lacking of true facts when it comes to the EU; it is supposed to be an independent charity but as the main funding comes from Facebook, I am not exactly trusting of this arrangement. Because of this I don't refer to FF and necessarily accept their information any more than you would probably accept something from the Daily Express. Heath denied that joining the EEC would entail no loss of essential sovereignty in writing and verbally. We were lied to and most of the voting population had no idea what we were getting into. Wilson continued to be 'economic' with the facts in 1975. The UK lost a significant amount of sovereignty when Heath signed the Treaty of Rome and its been getting worse ever since. Yes, the ECJ is only supreme in matters of EU law, which had primacy over and now comprises more than 50% of UK law. I hope that our lawmakers remember to remove the nasty bits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I love that bus and it's lie, or the other one with the £350 million a week lie on it? Cummings conned the gullible with them, but they are both lies. More evidence for you to ignore: £350 million EU claim "a clear misuse of official statistics" The actual figure is £250 million, a figure eventually admitted by Johnson in Parliament last September. Even that figure ignores subsidies to British farmers, industry, medical research etc.; though admittedly the UK government has no say on how that money is spent.

When Britain leaves the single market and customs union at the end of the year, lorry companies will lose the right to provide road transport services in the EU. Instead, they will automatically enter the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) scheme, which distributes a fixed number of permits per country. There were 8,348 UK-registered international road hauliers last year, according to Department for Transport data. However, under the ECMT scheme, the UK would be allocated permits for only 2,088 companies. Edited July 19, 2020 by david555 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would people want UK goods if they can get them cheaper somewhere else? Thats the thing about being in the EU market. We were somewhat protected from cheap imports from places like China. Once we are out we are on our own. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Some items were given a higher import tariff in order to protect the EU wide domestic producers. Now I know where you are going with this. You are now going to claim that imports will be cheaper now we have left and thats a good thing yes? Given the pound has dropped about 20% against most other currencies then no. It will not. So even if what you want to think is true. What happens to the UK domestic producers of those items? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
