Brexit is destroying Britain

No I'm wondering if the legislation passed by the EU parliament has stopped slavery. If the answer is no (as I suspect it is) then why is it needed? Why can individual countries not pass legislation themselves and carry on trading with likeminded countries?

To your first point, that's not an argument, that's a punchline to a joke about policework.

To your second, who said they couldn't? Brexit is still a thing.
I believe that the present state of the British economy is a sufficient argument for why a country shouldn't.

So has EU legislation stopped slavery?
A simple yes or no will suffice.

Does a country need 2 sets of legislation about slavery?

You would say that wouldn’t you, short on anything to back it up. Did you know our exports to the EU have fallen by 25% since 2007?

Do you know anything about British workers being under cut by east European work gangs due to FOM?

Do you know that the most accurate predictor of how someone voted in the referendum is wealth. ? The wealthy voted remain because they saw the benefits for to themselves whereas ordinary people didn’t

Do you know the IMF are forecasting the U.K. to have the highest cumulative growth for a G7 country from 2021 to 2028?

Do you know UK services industry exports are enjoying a post Brexit boom?

I could go on, but I know your not interested


But but but... all of those are due to Brexit.

Excellent we finally got the cherry picked start date.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Something happened in the years before that date you appear to have forgotten.
It had a massive effect on the UK economy.
Which shows up in carefully chosen forecasts.
 
The New Yorker’s excoriating report on the state of the UK lays bare how Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union (EU) “catalysed some of the worst tendencies in British politics”, its superficiality, nostalgia, and love of game play.

And without all those furriners, London would implode…
Being a country boy my trips to London are infrequent if I’ve been on average more than once every ten years I would be surprised. It always strikes me every time I do visit that London is like a foreign state that exists in the UK. There seems to be a disproportionate amount of people of foreign origin and everyone going about their daily business looks miserable.

Our COVID vaccines are free.
The destruction of the NHS continues.
You're eligible for a free Covid booster jab if you fall into any of the following groups:

Adults aged 75 and over
Those who are immunocompromised
Those who are carers
This is a narrower group than in previous years, based on who is likely to be most at risk of severe illness.

In France anyone who wants one can have a free anti COVID jab.

‘You’ve got to be joking’: Mandelson dismisses prospect of UK rejoining EU​


Peter Mandelson has dismissed the prospect of an incoming Labour government taking Britain back into the EU, saying “you’ve got to be joking” that Brussels would want to renegotiate the UK’s membership.

The Labour peer, a former EU trade commissioner and close adviser to Keir Starmer, said rejoining the 27-country bloc would require a referendum that UK voters had little desire for, after the Conservatives’ botched handling of Brexit.

“I cannot see the British people running towards [a referendum] for love nor money after what we went through during the last one. I really do not think that people are going to run towards a repeat of that experience,” he told a British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) event at Heathrow airport on Wednesday.

Lord Mandelson, speaking at the launch of the lobby group’s report on building “Global Britain” after the general election, added that a Starmer government would build closer ties with the EU without rejoining.

The EU wanted a more “stable, constructive relationship” with the UK, Mandelson continued, but there was no desire in Brussels for wholesale negotiation of the country’s return.

“Reopen a negotiation? You’ve got to be joking,” he said. “They [the EU] have got other priorities. They have other fish to fry now. And they’re not going to go through the back-and-forth, up-and-down, seesaw motion; or another protracted, probably hard fought over, and indecisive negotiation with Britain. So that’s simply answered.”
