The BBC want to pretend BREXIT was about immigration, because they can then portray BREXIT as bigoted.
Though I do regard freedom of association as a fundamental right, BREXIT was more elemental than this. It was and is about basic self-determination.
Part of that is indeed about having the ability to pick and choose immigrants.
But we are also fighting to have the ability to make our own laws, to be able to hire and fire our own political representatives - and to avoid the alien European mindset that all human activity must be regulated.
What about that chick MP who got snuffed in an effort to sway voters?
Has the jug-eared reprobate emerged from the WH yet to assign proper blame?
In his head Trump is already crafting a mutually beneficial trade agreement with the UK.
Well said!
LOL - good one!
THAT’S WONDERFUL!!! THANKS!
Leeds, her home area, did vote to “remain.”
...SC voted on December 20, 1860 to become a ‘Free Republic’ and free from the Union. The right of individual self government and self determination. Anytime - anywhere - any people.
So the vote that SC took was simply an act of treason.
10th Amendment
The 10th amendment doesn’t say a word about secession!
And neither does the Constitution mention secession. Therefore the 10th Amendment applies: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
There was never a provision in the Constitution for a State to leave it peacefully.
Look. We differ on how we read the same US Constitution. The fact is anything not specified as belonging to the Federal government or specifically prohibited by the Constitution is open to each state to determine as per the 10th Amendment. No doubt that my experiences as a career US Army Officer, directly descended from a defender of Ft. Moultrie in the Revolution whose grandson died in the Civil War defending South Carolina against an invasion from other states - and a father who was a B-17 crewman in WWII - I take the right of free people to self government very seriously. I refuse to buy into the idea that any agreement made by any group of sovereign states or nation is a decision that their posterity must blindly follow for decades or hundreds or thousands of years into the future. Individual self government is a natural right that is not to be taken lightly by any central government anywhere or anytime. Sic semper tyrannis.
