Brexit begins: Theresa May takes axe to EU laws
The Telegraph ^ | 10-01-2016 | Ben Riley-Smith

Posted on 10/01/2016 2:23:29 PM PDT by NRx

Theresa May will on Sunday announce she will repeal the 1972 European Communities Act in a move that will formally begin the process of making Britain’s Parliament sovereign once again.

Addressing the Conservative Party Conference for the first time as leader, Mrs May will declare that her government will begin work to end the legislation that gives European Union law supremacy in Britain.

In its place, a new “Great Repeal Bill” will be introduced in Parliament as early as next year to put power for the nation’s laws back into the hands of MPs and peers.

The announcement is Mrs May’s first firm commitment on Brexit since becoming Prime Minister in July and marks a major step on the road to ending the country’s EU membership.

I have some targets that look like that. But I ask myself, why attack the grunts when the tyrants are at the top. The elites, the promoters, the dictators, the criminals leading entire countries should be the targets.

Our election has zero relevance to the implementation of Brexit.

The same question must have been asked since time immemorial.
It is always the man in the street who cops the crap, maybe one day soon that will change. :)

A sovereign nation? Wow, what a radical idea.

Take THAT, Bush 41, and other Globalists like Obama, Hillary, Jeb, etc.

May has also confirmed this morning that Article 50 will be triggered before the end of March 2017.

Complex for sure but not a reason to not go for it - how many times are we told that all the really crappy deals our government has put upon the People are here to stay because “it would be too hard” to set them right?

Actually many of the elites have received their just rewards. In the contemporary world it is more difficult since the elites are the ones that control the technically advanced weapons and armor, and the citizens are stuck with the comparatively primitive long guns and pistols.

It’s been a couple of months, already. I was under the impression that they would have descended into cannibalism by now, at least according to the NYT, from last May.

It can’t happen overnight. Even before the referendum, the British subjects were told that it would take two years to disentangle from the EU. The process is complex.

Very funny! You are so right. There was an article a few weeks ago...I can’t remember where...that admitted all the horrible things predicted has not happened. What fools who thought the sky would fall.

Delay will only give the enemy of Brexit time to scheme against it ever happening.
