TOT (not about DIY at all): Lobby of parliament regarding the handoverof UK powers to the EU
Mass Lobby of Parliament – MONDAY
On Monday afternoon (10th) the House of Commons will debate the hand-over of 35 Law and Justice powers to the EU – without a referendum. These include the infamous European Arrest Warrant, used recently to handcuff and imprison the parents of Ashya King. These powers – part of the 135 powers that the UK can opt out of this year under the Lisbon Treaty – are being handed back to the EU voluntarily, without a referendum. They end the tradition of Habeas Corpus which has protected British citizens from arbitrary arrest for 900 years. They open the door for UK citizens to come under the power of the new European Public Prosecutor, even though the government has opted out of this. They constitute a clear hand-over of powers to the EU without a referendum. Given the opportunity to ‘repatriate’ powers, the government is doing the opposite – and again breaking its pledge to ask the people. Gather at Old Palace Yard, opposite the House of Lords, from mid-day on MONDAY. The debate will go on all afternoon from around 2.45 onwards. Bill |
