"I think we are going to have to differ."
What you do is unimportant - the point remains
Britain stands to lose what little environmental protection it has if the extremest Brexiters have their way at a time when cleaning up the planet has become a life-or-death issue
May not concern you, I can only hope you are in the minority - I read some of your views on Global warming, so your attitude hardly comes as a surprise
None of this is an "issue of the past" - it is what is happening now and what is likely to happen in the immediate future
If/when Britain leaves Europe things issues like the environment and human rights will be thrown into doubt

Britain is already a human rights abuser, by proxy - we fill our shops with goods produced in appalling, near-slave conditions - that can only accelerate after Brexit
We sell weapons to some of the world's worst oppressors - on the eve of the Arab Spring protests the British Prime Minister opened a huge Arms Fair aimed at the very people being protested against
When British, French and U.S. troops went into Libya to remove a dictator who had been put into place with the support of these nations (contradiction enough) they were fired on by shells licensed by the British Government
One of the great torturers and mass murderers today, Bashir al Assad, was supplied with riot equipment and sniper rifle ammunition which was used to suppress human rights protesters in Syria
It later transpired that we had supplied chemicals that may have been used to produce the weapons that were illegally used against the Syrian people.
Britain sold fighter plane to the Saudis that were almost certainly used against the Yemeni people at a time when the Brexiteers were taking steps to ascertain that refugees such as those fleeing the Yemen would not be given shelter in Britain

Brexit goes far beyond the future of the Britain economically and politically; it puts blood on all our hands by making us accomplices in State Terrorism - as if we weren't wading in that blood already
We have yet to see he full effects of the rise of the Neo-Nazi Genii that the Populism used to win Brexit has let out of the bottle - it has already put in appearance on British streets
We ain't seen nothing yet
