Read in The Guardian of 18 November that the UK Government was pushing for a new bill on nationality and borders that would
- open the possibility for said Government of stripping British citizens of their nationality without noticing them (and hence depriving them from appealing the decision)
- barring anyone arriving in the UK by an illegal route from claiming refugee status
- criminalising anyone trying save an illegal immigrant life
- giving UK Border Force staff immunity from prosecution if their operations result in death
which are failing basic human right principles in the country that established the Magna Carta as a basis for a lawful government… (From a cynic perspective, the 1253 charter was only giving right to a very small fraction of the English population, while serfdom lasted until 1574.) And another illustration of how Brexit is more easily used to cut rights than to establish new ones.
