    If Britain can’t hold it’s own within the EU, how do they think we’ll survive outside the EU in the big bad world where we’re no longer protected by Germany’s might?
    I'm sure we will get by, awful trolling by the way.

      Step 3 - Pay a bill they make up so they will at least start negotiations
      Step 4 - Keep going back to negotiations as goalposts keep moving
      Step 5 - Go back to step 2

      Just because they are not physically putting the jackboot of oppression on your neck it does not mean you have the freedom you should expect.

      And what does the future hold?

      Does Germany want everyone in the EU to be on an equal footing or does that only come if they accept Germany as their overlords?
      The bill arises from article 50 negotiations which are not a necessary step, but there to set a framework for negotiations. The UK, for example, could simply repeal the European Communities Act and it would instantly be free of EU tyranny. Which if you think about it does not sound much like tyranny.

          Tyrannies don't have independent legal processes to hold leaders to account for alleged illegal activities. You've just presented evidence that the EU in not a tyranny, you cockwomble.

            In the UK there is no legal process, independent or otherwise, for social services. Tyranny.

                It's a shock, a SHOCK I tell you, in capital letters because literally nobody has suggested this in the last two years...

                    Can the Brexiteers please explain how we are being oppressed? I certainly don't feel oppressed by the EU. In fact I'd feel slightly more threatened by oppression from a Tory or Corbyn government without any involvement of the EU. I feel oppressed by Brexit, bunch of illinformed numpties exercising their 'will' to sabotage the economy just as the country is recovering from the worst recession in living memory. The incessant nonsense spewed forth by the likes of Farage, Gove, Boris, IDS etc feels like oppression. Their lies are oppressing of the values of rationality, intellect and common sense. Give me the oppression of the EU any day of the week thank you!

                      I feel oppressed by having a non-elected leader and her family as hangers-on. i.e A royal family that stole land and rented it back to the gentry which started a feudal system that still exists today in law of the land, tenancies, land tax and mortgages. No I not a Marxist, I am a landlord, but the UK need reform and needs to grow up as a nation and get some balls. It cannot go on relying on the Queen and Empire. Those times have gone. And while we are at it, dump all religion. When you die, that it; the law of nature and physics says so.
