The law has been twisted into a weapon, turning the very concept of rights into a cudgel against those who defend us. Strasbourg’s overreach is one of the engines of this injustice. #JusticeforVeterans #LegacyDisgrace www.justiceforveterans.uk/p/why-leavin...

Maybe the reason the government has not published a debate outcome, and instead announced a shoddy framework, is that the debate winner is obvious.
