Remain Party Observes Whether Leave Government Could Live Up to Brexit Promisesb

Pro-remain MPs are listing 10 pledges that the current UK government should address as the Brexit talks push forward. The issues listed include trade, security and Britons' rights. The MPs said British citizens expect all the promises to be kept. 

The list is to be finished and published on Tuesday morning in London backed by MPs who opted for the United Kingdom to stay in the European Union. According to the MPs the government is opting for a "Hard Brexit" as the UK government was slowly failing to live up to its promise of a smooth transition in exiting the European Union.

According to the MPs, most of the promises made during the campaign period have been abandoned or even disputed by the Leave campaigners and ministers themselves. One of these were the £350m weekly savings for the NHS after the UK has quit the European Union.

Another pledge that are teetering on the edge of abandonment is the single market membership assurance, to which the chance is slowly fading away; new trade deals ready to sign upon leaving the EU; full protection of rights enjoyed and guaranteed by EU membership despite leaving the bloc and more.

According to the MPs observing the route of the UK government's Brexit plans closely, the final deal that could make all ten promises actually materialise in the next half-decade is impossible. They added that the outcome rests solely on "those conducting negotiations" and "those advocating a hard Brexit."

British Nationals Are Applying For German Citizenship Before The Brexit Bites Down

British citizens are trying to escape the undesirable clout of the Brexit by applying for German citizenship. According to surveys, many UK citizens are descendants of Jews. Exploiting the German Article 116, which says any Jew stripped of citizenship during the Nazi-era including distant relatives could have their citizenship restored.

More than 550 British Jews have begun applying for German citizenship since the outcome of the EU referendum. 

Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Theresa May is trying to guarantee the "free movement" of British citizens in Europe despite Britain's exit from the country while trying to keep out EU nationals from conveniently entering the United Kingdom. The deal intends to guarantee free movement including EU nationals residing in the United Kingdom.

Not every EU country is pleased with Britain's decision to leave the European Union. According to RT, Germany, France, Italy, the Czech Republic said Britain must pay a "multi-million compensation bill" before the Brexit talks could begin. This pertains to the UK's actual financial obligations, which might reach up to €60 billion (£51bn). The European Union is discussing the actual total of the "divorce bill" for Britain, which can potentially reach more than €80bn according to EU officials.

The bill includes all of the UK's fiscal responsibilities on projects, programs, pensions and relocation of EU institutions in London. Britain houses the European Medicines Agency and the European Banking Authority.

Internet Pornography Blocked To Be Finalised In New Law

UK will bypass EU law after the Article 50 is triggered, bringing about the firm grounding of the new pornography block law in the country. EU laws state that no online content could be filtered by member states.

New UK laws are becoming anti-net neutrality laws by the European Union, which have become a threat in recent years. The new law that seeks to block pornography has become a supplement in the proposal for a new Digital Economy Bill to be debated and possibly passed through legislation. The new pornography bill would block explicit websites that would not employ strict age verification.

Internet service providers have been blocking pornography websites as per recommendation of the government to introduce pornography "blocks" at will by ISPs. During the leadership of former PM David Cameron, his new measures made it voluntary for ISPs to block or filter pornographic websites. According to Internet and telecoms lawyer for Decode: Legal Neil Brown, the new proposal explicitly states that ISPs must filter and to "ensure ISPs" continue filtering.

Brown, in contrast, believes the ISP-blocking law against irresponsible pornography websites is a form of tampering with online traffic -- a core principle in the EU laws the UK will bypass through Brexit. However, the Internet Service Providers Association are in favour of the amendment and added protection for children surfing the Internet.

Human Rights Act Replacement Still Delayed By UK Parliament Due To The Brexit

UK Prime Minister Theresa May said she plans to go with the “lift and shift” of EU human rights laws and enshrine them into UK laws but only after the Brexit. According to Mrs May, she intends to go further with the enshrinement of the UK’s own human rights laws than her predecessor David Cameron originally planned. To pull out the UK from the European Commission on Human Rights is at the heart of her campaign.

However, the processing of the UK’s exit from the EU could take until 2019. According to UK Attorney General Jeremy Wright, no plans or even negotiations for the UK’s position in the EU’s single market could happen until the UK finally makes its exit from the EU.

But for tories, the delay is only acceptable if no further delays in the Brexit’s processing will happen. Shipley Tory MP Philip Davis said the delay is only forgivable as long as Mrs May does not do a “con job” of the entire Brexit process -- either she turns her back on her promises or cites further delays.

PM Theresa May had her own frustrations with the EHCR in the past when she intended to extradite hate preacher Abu Qatada. Under the decision of the ECHR, Qatada and other suspected terrorists in Britain and the EU cannot be rendered stateless by the government.

The DWP, Food Standards Agency and The HMRC Can Pop Into Your Private Life

Three government agencies including the DWP and the HMRC could now access your internet history as ISPs in the United Kingdom will be forced to keep a full record of websites Britons have visited for one year. Upon request of one of these three agencies (or all of them) they will scrutinise your information and probably perform a complete information "scrub" to analyse your behaviour.

The passing of the Investigatory Powers Bill -- heavily backed by UK Prime Minister Theresa May then during her Home Secretary heydays and now-PM days -- will allow not just these three organisations but eventually law enforcement organisations including the police, military and the secret service. The Independent listsall the government agencies that can access your personal information.  

Technology firms heavily opposed to the passing of the bill mention the use of VPNs or Virtual Private Networks. The government can shut down local VPNs but due to the nature of internet services being multi-national, offshore VPN companies providing the same IP masking and history deletion the government is powerless.

VPN history deletion would allow ISPs to report the absence of internet activity from a specific household. While the UK government can use contingencies against such individuals or organisations, the government mentioned as of yet.

Attorney General: Article 50 Legal Challenge Is Attempt To Reverse Brexit

Attorney-General Jeremy Wright QC said the case filed by multiple parties against the invocation of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is an attempt to reverse the results of the British referendum last June.

The Brexit's results showed majority favouring the exit of Britain from the European Union.

Mr Wright said the making and unmaking of international treaties was a "recognised use of the royal prerogative".

Article 50 states that any member state may leave “in accordance with its own constitutional requirements”, an undefined term that has allowed both sides to pursue rival interpretations.

Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, Lord Justice Sales and another senior judge are hearing the challenges against the Brexit vote.

Mr Wright said:

“Making and unmaking treaties are an established use of royal prerogative powers. The use of prerogative powers [to trigger Brexit] was wholly within the expectation of parliament.

“The question is, has parliament acted to limit the availability of the royal prerogative powers? The answer, we say, is no.

“There’s nothing expressed in legislation that [shows] parliament has attempted to circumscribe the powers to make treaties. Parliament has conspicuously refused to legislate on withdrawing from the EU despite many opportunities if it had so wanted.”

Netherlands Takes Step To Become UPC Signatory

The Netherlands is eyeing the UK's former role as one of the main signatories to the unitary patent and Unitary Patent Court agreement once it moves out of the United Kingdom.

According to the Dutch Senate's First Chamber, by September 5, the government of Netherlands support the introduction of a unitary patent and concurrent UPC.

The Netherlands will then have to deposit its instrument of ratification with the European Council. This will then allow 13 other countries to ratify the agreement.

While UK, France and Germany had shared the highest number of European patents in 2012, the UK has been minimally involved in the scheme as it proceeded with its referendum. Now, Netherlands and Italy have the potentially to become the UK's potential successor.

Alan Johnson, partner at law firm Bristows in London, added that Italy has also signalled its willingness to host a central division of the court in Milan.

"Since 23 June, first Italy and now the Netherlands have progressed their national ratification processes," Johnson said.

He added: "In order for the UPC to start without the UK, a re-negotiation of the UPC Agreement would be required to re-allocate the London share of the central division, and this is not a straightforward matter, with claims likely from at least Munich, Paris and Milan

.

"In all probability what we are seeing at present is those close to the process realising that if momentum toward this project is lost, it may be delayed for a very long time."
