Brexit Is About To Get Much, Much Worse For Uk Citizens

[Hymie]

If you thought the continuing loss of billions of pounds in tax to the exchequer (and even more to the UK economy as a whole) as a direct result of Brexit is bad; you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The ‘EU law revocation and reform bill’ which has already passed two votes on the House of Commons (and despite not having passed into law yet), is due to take effect at the end of next year.

The bill proposes the loss of a host of rights, freedoms and protections of ordinary people; amongst them the right to annual paid leave, the right of women to equal pay for doing the same work as men and many, many more rights UK citizens have enjoyed for years as a result of being members of the EU.

I don’t recall the loss of these rights being plastered on the side of a red bus during the referendum debate – but that’s what you fools voted for.

This'll be good.

[naomi24]

I watched a bit. It's not.

[Hymie]

Certainly not good for UK citizens.

[naomi24]

There's nothing 'certain' about it, Hymie. It's just more of the same ridiculous scaremongering - and it still doesn't wash.

[Hymie]

A Bill that has passed two votes the House of Commons, removing UK citizens rights ‘scaremongering’?

[ToraToraTora]

hymie, has dug up another cherry picking video to support his delusions. Perlease.

[naomi24]

We knew EU laws were going to be reviewed so why does it surprise you? Do you know what those changes will be replaced with? No, you don't. You just preach doom and gloom for the sake of it!

[Zacs-Master]

Wait for Ms Sturgeon to jump on this as another reason for independence.
The truth of the matter is that nothing is certain with regards to whether these laws, which Hymie is correct in saying, provide protection for workers, will be repealed. The paper has to go through the HoL, then back to HoC and the Scottish Govt are recommending rejection of any changes (oooooh, scary Eh?).

[bobbinwales]

But hymie this us what people voted for.wheb they sadly chose Leave.... taking back control to make our own laws .
Weer not going back so...
Not sure why we bother ...same stuff going round in circles. Flogging a dead horse. Leave you to it.

[Hymie]

The removal of annual paid leave and the right of women to equal pay for doing the same work as men – who would vote for that?

[Zacs-Master]

There’s no proof that this will happen, Hymie.

[Deskdiary]

You seem to be very easily taken-in Hymie, gullible even.

There’s not a cat in hell chance that the right to paid leave or the right to equal pay will be repealed.

the right of women to equal pay
________________________

I assume you can provide some info on this, Hymie?

[Zacs-Master]

These are the two laws which could, potentially, change:
your right to paid maternity or parental leave could disappear or be changed (affecting men and women, of course).

if you are pregnant, you may lose the right to suitable alternative work on no less favourable terms

[royfromaus]

Have you actually looked at the Revocation and Reform bill or are you as per...relying on random youtubers for your opinion?

[Hymie]

If you want to read the complete EU Directive on equal treatment (including pay) for women you can read it here:-

[royfromaus]

Revocation and Reform bill ... have you looked at it?

[Zacs-Master]

Why would we do that? We’re not in the EU any more. Why don’t you do some research into exactly what aspects of woman's rights laws are up for discussion?

[ToraToraTora]

Stop it with your BS Hymie, Brexit means replacing EUSSR law with our own that all this is about, you don't know how, the new laws will differ, so change the bleedin record.

[bobbinwales]

We know the directive. We know we can now put in place our laws. but there's no reason why we wont keep most like equal pay . We just after repeal it first
