Why are the Greens and LibDems not doing more to counter these dangerous FreePort and SEZs from "blue" Labour? Esp. as it is a major factor preventing UK rejoining the EU.
Worse FPs & SEZs mean that your votes in local and Parl elections will be effectively worthless.

Well said Dominic.
Yesterday's attempt by Farage to take the UK out of the ECHR represents a story we're all too familiar with; selling a movement as a lie. Remaining in the ECHR ensures human rights, equality, and a mutual respect across communities, and it's essential that we continue to challenge these lies.
