EU ABANDONS SUCCESS AND FREEDOM
To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, "To lose freedom may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both freedom and prosperity looks like carelessness."
The EU detests Britain's Common Law, but the Common Law is the highly successful foundation of law in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, and other prosperous countries. (There is no country in the world using British Common Law that is not successful.) The Common Law protects both freedom and prosperity, yet the EU wants to destroy it.
Britain is being converted to the EU's Napoleonic model of justice, which gives little protection to the individual against the state, where there is no presumption of innocence, where you can be tried repeatedly for the same offence, and where jury trials are rare. The European Arrest Warrant means that a Brit can be accused of a crime that is not an offence in Britain, be arrested by foreign police at his home in Britain, and be held in a foreign jail pending trial under a code of justice that disregards habeas corpus.
Incredibly, EU police (Europol) are themselves immune from prosecution for any personal criminal acts. This flies in the face of nine hundred years of British realism, for it was in 1100 that Brits forced their Kings to recognise that no one, not even a King is above the law.
