It seems our hard pressed PM is trying to please everyone with her placatory approach to Brexit, in view of continuous opposition and street demonstrations by opponent of Brexit who are unwilling to accept people’s verdict.
There is hard core MPs and Lords of every political persuasion who will not rest until the government gives in to their demand for second referendum after exit terms have been negotiated, hoping that such pressure will force PM to go for soft Brexit which will be worse than remaining in EU under terms negotiated by David Cameron.
It seems there pressure is paying handsome dividend, as government has just announced that it will present a bill in HOC to integrate all existing EU laws into British laws that will enable EU citizens living in Britain to retain all benefits, including child benefits they now claim for children not living here with their parents, that so often leads to fraudulent claims, costing British tax payers billions but just a tiny amount to other EU nations who pay lip service to such laws unlike Britain.
The government’s claim that such laws will be removed one by one after Brexit is fooling no one; as such legislations will never be approved either by HOC or HOL. Could Brexit be a doomsday scenario, especially after Gibraltar bombshell?
