The war for Brexit has lost its first major battle, and it wasn’t against the Brussels Eurocrats, it’s against the unelected House of Lords. The Brexit Bill that will allow the Prime Minister to trigger Article 50 (the mechanism by which the UK can legally extricate itself from the EU), has lost a vote on Amendment 9B. This amendment is on the rights of EU citizens presently living in the UK and their right to remain after Brexit. It was one of the UK’s key bargaining chips and now it looks like it will never have a chance to be used.
There is of course the argument that we should not be using people’s rights to live in a country as a bargaining chip, but the fact remains that the EU will be doing this themselves to the British nationals living in EU countries. If they are doing it and the UK is not, there is clearly an imbalance in positions.

People in UK need to wake up and start fighting against EU.
Guess when we ask why would European countries bring in middle eastern Muslims to supplant their own cultures, they already had thrown away their own national sovereignty. What a left wing mess.
For the left, every loss requires a do over. Every win is set in concrete.
They need to get rid of their hereditary overlords.
Amazing how the globalists always find ways to ignore the will of the people with some kind palimentarty chicanery or process-stalling legal maneuvers. They are scum.
Correct. The enemies of freedom are always present.
AND
Freedom is never negotiated. It is always won in battle.
This will be no exception. If England is lucky, the battle will be political. For Europe and the EU it will not be.
They did. A lot of those guys in that particular House are rich fat cats and globalists. Not a lot of doddering viscounts anymore.
Just think of all the wiretapping going on there. Considering the Hillary campaign was using British intelligence (maybe former) to spy on political opponents. Then handing their fake documents to US officials in order to obtain warrants here. Or that’s what I have read.
Tragically it is too late for the UK.
The globalists sunk their teeth into them so deep, they will not let go.
The globalists will not be denied.
The globalists will not go quietly into the night.
Now maybe they’ll begin to understand why the US has the 2nd amendment.
The globalist wont be denied in the USA either,
The battle for America is just beginning,
Invoke the Parialment Act and bypass the House of Lords. Since this was done to ban fox hunting under the Labour Government, it can be done in this case.
I was under the impression that the British House of Lords, unlike our Senate, wasn’t an equal branch to the House of Commons and was essentially toothless with their votes only serving an advisory role, akin to our “Sense of the Senate Resolutions” (I.E legislation would still pass over their objections).
“Unelected”
The people will eventually win.
The title is a massive exaggeration.
Brexit is happening, and in full.
No doubt
