They will compromise. Hard right in Poland wont risk leaving, EU is popular there.

Hard right is a menace wherever it governs.

the collapse has been predicted since forever.
Sure EU needs to reform as always, to respond as best it can. But collapse? No,

Sure it's beeb predicted forever; but ever since the Ravelling Nancy people have been predicting that manual labour will die out. It's always been poopooed, but it looks increasingly likely due to further automation. Similarly, the EU keeps ravelling itself up in more red tape.

They said we'd work less bc of computers

We can trade predictions like a game of ping pong

The bottom line is european countries are stronger together and that will keep them as a bloc.

It's typical British arrogance to assume something will fall apart because we are no longer part of it.

The UK is not a power player on the world stage, we haven't been a super power since the days of the Empire. We are not the be all and end all and the sun does not rise and fall at our command. People need to adjust their expectations.

It's maybe for the best we are leaving as our lurch to the right makes Poland look like Corbyn land. ..the EU is better off without far right usurpers.

No It is not
The BBC & SkyNewsHD are reporting on all that
on TV and Radio.

It will get far worse.

Yes it was... we needed to know about this prior to the election. Not that I think it will have mattered to the brexit obsessed, who will see a few deaths as collateral damage for the govt who will deliver the hard brexit they fantasise about.

It begins. This is what was voted in.. suck it up proles.

Why Boris Johnson’s changes to courts could affect your job

The government’s proposal to permit lower British courts to overrule existing case law set by the European Court of Justice will have far-reaching consequences.

Trade unions warned that the move could allow exploitative bosses to try to challenge protections for low-paid workers, which have been built up over several decades.

Sean O’Grady explains the significance of the plan – and looks at how it could impact on employment rights.

It's a report on events happening, this is not quite a post truth world... yet.
Do you have an opinion on the report?
