Indeed. And it is also the responsibility of the UK Government to ensure that rights and freedoms are protected, not the EU's.
So if you feel that these have been removed, hold the UK Government to account. Not the EU. They have nothing to do with it. Any blame lies with Messrs Heath, Wilson, Callaghan, Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron and May. |

During the time of Heath, Wilson, Callaghan and Mrs Thatcher the EU was about trade, not total domination as it has now become. Blair and Brown handed over control of immigration based on dishonest immigration estimates by them and by the time Cameron arrived on the scene, there was so much competition for work that big business could create the 'zero-hours' phenomenon and drive down the pay and conditions of our own people.

Nope. It' the Leave campaigners, and specifically those in the Tory Party who now hold power who will be doing that.

It's the Leave voters who are taking away our freedom by preventing us to travel around Europe easily and to be able to work there without restrictions.

As someone who used to work in the Passport Office, I have to ask what on earth are you talking about? The UK government issues passports, not the EU.
Old blues were easy to forge. EU standardised passports are much more secure than the old UK ones. I wonder how many of them were purchaced since June, I can't imagine people being bothered enough to buy them beforehand. Now what colour people's passports are has suddenly become a major issue for some. |

Reminds me of when I flew from Manchester Airport earlier this month, the number of middle-aged and old people I saw with passports in blue cases with the old passport (with no EU) style on them... made me roll my eyes.
