How the UK could scrap thousands of EU-era laws post-Brexit - BBC News

UK ministers have clashed with both opposition and Conservative MPs over their plans to scrap EU-era laws copied over to UK law after Brexit.
The government's Retained EU Law Bill will see thousands of laws expire automatically after December, unless they are specifically kept or replaced.
The BBC’s Ros Atkins looks at what the government’s plans could mean.

@@nicholasgerrish6022 Bullshit mate. English legal system is messed up. Our judges somehow interpret laws in their own particular way which dosn't make any sense. Nothing to do with the EU. Example. - Famous - right to have and maintain family relationships which many criminals use to stay. For EU judges Article 5 - “right to liberty and security” is above it. So judges in the EU say public safety is more important and your family right is not affected because your family can join you wherever you are deported. Simple. You’re knocking a wrong door.

Well exports from the UK to the EU have already dropped by 30%.

The UK lost most of its influence and economically is doing poorly. The banking sector has shifted to Germany and daily commerce has shifted to other EU member states.
