Jesus wept. The genuinely frightening thing is that there are plenty of people out there who will believe this wholesale.

"kinda true, kinda fiction" - what "alternative facts" ?
Jesus wept.

I think that went under the radar of radical Brexiters.....
It isn't just Jesus who weeps over the ignorance of those who believe the Facebook nonsense.....

Not seen such Bravery!
Also, when I saw similar to this on Facebook a while back and read the hundreds of comments from those fooled by it, I realised that the Facebook propaganda was so widespread and believed, that a 2nd referendum is pointless.
Totally pointless - as we haven't done anything to cut off the delivery mechanism of the hybrid disinformation attack.
Until we do, the country is lost.
Well obviously the control of fishing & agriculture is kinda true in that we already lost control over them. The veto is partially true in that we have already lost the use of it in certain circumstances in favour of a 'majority vote' & the adoption of the euro being compulsory in 2022 is on the wish list of people such as Macron who want an even tighter 'Federal' style EU.
At some point I suspect most of it had some basis on truth but was more the hopes of some individuals & small groups rather than the mainstream leaders & MEP's. While not likely at the moment there is a risk if certain people get their way that some if not most of those things could happen but not because of the Lisbon Treaty but more likely a new future treaty if they ever did manage to bypass the veto system , but of course thats all hypothetical as things stand.

If someone comes as a refugee and asks for asylum in the UK, they are not allowed to work until they have been granted asylum, once they are accepted then they are expected to support themselves, unless they have a disability, same as anyone else. Most other migrants are either students, who are only allowed to work 20 hours a week, or people on work visas, who have a job lined up. Many of those from the EU, who do not require a visa, responded to ads in their home countries asking them to come and take work here. It is not easy to sit on benefits and not work these days, in fact it is quite difficult for people with genuine disabilities to get disability payments and they are being declared fit for work, despite quite severe disability and sickness.

No, there is not a compulsory law to adopt the euro. Please search out facts and stop believing the propaganda.
If you read what I wrote you will clearly see I said its what people like Macron what , not that its law but on the Federalist supporters wish list.
Thank god we have a veto and will never join the Euro once Brexit has been killed off.

though we should join the Euro and dispense with the other vetos if we remain, i cant see good reasons for them anymore if we accept better off in EU.
