Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
My post, by the way, also is relevant to With so many intangibles being thrown into the air having heated arguments is rather pointless. The entire proposition is in a state of flux and quite honestly having heated arguments over hypothetical scenarios is a waste of time: these are not things that may or may not happen at some time in the future depending on how the negotiations go. These are votes being taken now (last Tuesday to be precise) that are defining the sort of future we will have if we have a negotiated Brexit. It is an assumption, but I think a plausible one, that we would also lose the guaranteed right if we have 'no deal': certainly that would be the default position as it nstands currently.

So these are risks to our rights being decided now as a result of Brexit. To my mind they are worth talking about. Even at this late stage the rights could be protected if the Lords do so and the Commons then accepts the Lord's amendment.
