Who would have thought you would be stupid enough to believe the fake news that excuse for a newspaper prints? Not me that's for sure, I had you down as one of the informed thinking intelligentsia with your buddies at your soirees in Thailand, chewing the fat over world issues at least that what your series of factually based, well reasoned posts on this thread would suggest.

You should run Swale, you really should.
You are so going to enjoy the totalitarianism in your new beloved EU.
You'd be right up there with Blair/Brown/Clegg/Major/Cameron in making sure us mere mortals toe the line to your standards.
There you go, your career path is laid out for you. Thank me later.

Ah its right that you should proudly pass on the fake news of such a well respected media source as the Express, its good of them not to use long words and phrases so that you are able to understand the bull**** they print and then like the eager little Mitarbeiter you are pass it on to those of us that are poorly informed on such matters.

Thanks, because without your google skills I and indeed many others would not be have access to the wealth of factual knowledge on politics, the EU and indeed world affairs that you so kindly take the time to advise us on.

Ah yes the EU as a Totalitarian organisation, you see I would never be able to compare say, Russia, China and Saudi Arabia for example and reach the conclusion that the EU resembled them. How clever, to think that a person like you who through his erudite thinking and sharp analytical mind has reached the dizzy heights of employment in the HM prison Service (something by the way that myself a mere ignorant person could never hope to achieve) can have such a razor sharp mind. capable of seeing through the fog of bull**** and getting straight to the point.

You know I do think that you deserve your recreational activities in Thailand, it ill behoves us lesser beings from judging you all great minds such as yours have their weaknesses after all.

I mean mine involves actually checking information at least appears factual and quoting sources that one can reasonably deduce to be accurate, rather than ones which frankly a 6 year old would know were fake, but then I don't have you amazing facility to swallow bull**** regrettably.

Hmmm, just a couple of vodkas with breakfast today, Swale?

And so the pressure to strip us of rights and protections, that will benefit only the rich and leave the country, the environment and the people worse off begins.

A leading Tory credited with inspiring Brexit has urged Boris Johnson to cull a raft of EU consumer and worker protections, now the UK has the freedom to act.

Safeguards for the use of data, pay and conditions, GM foods, hedge funds, dangerous chemicals and the disposal of environmentally-damaging vehicles should all be binned, Daniel Hannan said.

“Change is coming. To succeed outside the EU, we need to be fitter, leaner and more globally engaged,” said the former MEP, who has just been made a Conservative peer.

The call comes after the prime minister vowed to start breaking free from EU rules, now the post-Brexit transition period has is over, saying “we have nothing to fear”.

Under the trade agreement he signed, Brussels has the power to inflict wide-ranging tariffs or other sanctions on the UK if it breaches the so-called ‘level playing field’.

Nevertheless, Mr Hannon, in a website article, called for the scrapping of:

* the Temporary Workers’ Directive – which guarantees agency staff receive equal pay and conditions with employees in the same business.

* the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – that gives individuals control over their personal data and limits its transfer to other countries.

* the ban on products made from genetically modified (GM) crops – potentially allowing US food derived that way into the UK, as part of a future trade deal.

* the REACH Directive – to outlaw chemicals linked to health problems including cancer, thyroid disease, hormone disruption and slow development.

* the End of Life Vehicles Directive – to achieve environmentally-friendly dismantling and recycling, with targets for the reuse of vehicles and their components.

* the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) – introduced to regulate hedge funds and private equity following the 2008 financial crash.

* the ‘Droit de suite’ rules – that pay artists a fee on the resale of their works of art, instead of the American ‘first-sale doctrine’ that removes rights from subsequent sales.

* “chunks of” the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) – the legal framework to harmonise regulation of securities markets and trading venues.

Mr Hannan is widely seen as an intellectual driving force from the 1990s for what became as Brexit, pushing for a clean break from the EU as a campaigner and then a Euro-MP.

In the article, for the conservativehome website, he argued that – in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic – everything possible must be done to “stimulate growth”.

That included ripping up “regulatory barriers”, targeting “everything from planning restrictions that inflate the cost of housing, to staff ratio rules that give us the most expensive childcare in Europe”.

His assertions contain some many falsehoods and lies its hard to know where to start. However I'm sure our esteemed Brexit supporters will welcome these proposals, like lemmings welcome leaping off a cliff!
