The Great Repeal Revisited For Brexit.

According to Yahoo News, the UK's "The Great Repeal" bill is one of "the most significant British law in four decades." However, not every Briton or even some lawmakers know about it. It is also known as the European Communities Act 1972 -- the main reason why UK law treats EU law as national laws.

Triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to begin the UK's Brexit, Britain would still have UK and EU laws made in the last 40 years as part of the constitution. This creates certainty between the two nations that the UK would continue to respect EU laws especially with foreign EU workers in the United Kingdom.

The Great Repeal Bill allows ministers to change primary legislation using secondary legislation and it will be examined in the House of Commons and House of Lords. Both will need to approve before the task of dismantling certain EU laws can be passed into law.

While EU laws integrated and practiced in the last four decades would remain, a steady Brexit would allow the UK to practice its own laws and provide equivalents to existing EU laws. Both parties would use the bill to ensure there are no blind spots as soon as the UK leaves the Union.

UK Supreme Court Considers Downsides Of £18,600 Minimum Income For Immigrant Families

The UK Supreme Court backs UK Prime Minister Theresa May's £18,600 minimum income requirement for British individuals to bring in non-European spouses in Britain. But, it also acknowledges the "harshness" of the particular tenet -- the reality painted by immigrant family campaigners as tens of thousands of British families torn apart by the requirement.

According to Lord Carnwath and fellow judges, the minimum income threshold is "accepted in principle" but said the Home Office's rules and guidance is "defective and unlawful" until it "gives weight to the interests of children involved.

The threshold of £18,600 is quite high as it excludes almost half of Britain's population to bring into 

UK a foreign spouse. Immigrant campaigners said an average of 15,000 British children have been communicating with exiled parents through Skype calls since the introduction and implementation of the rule in 2012.

Lord Carnwath and other justices agree that the rule presents a "serious obstacle to their enjoying family life together." For low earners, the rule can introdue perpetual suffering. The still-existing gender pay gap would make it difficult for women to bring in their foreign spouse into the country.

Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants Chief Executive said the judgment is a "victory" for immigrant families. Despite being agreed upon on theory alone, the recognition of the UK Supreme Court that the rules are useless because it does not consider the best interests of the children.

UK MPs to Propose Law Banning Mandatory Discriminating Dress Codes For Women

London-based receptionist Nicola Thorp's complaint against her employers forcing her to wear high heels and revealing clothing for eight hours during her shift had triggered a signature campaign that urged the UK government to investigate the matter. Today, UK MPs found the extent of the health damages discriminating dress codes bring to UK female employees, and they are drafting a new law to prevent mandatory dress codes for women.

A study called "High Heels and Workplaces Dress Codes" revealed the long-term health damages caused by consistent wearing of high-heels, dyeing their hair blonde or applying and reapplying make-up -- rules that are part of almost any employee dress code handbook in London. MPs were keen on introducing legislation that would tackle such "discriminative" and laborious practices that male employees could bypass.

According to Helen Jones MP, "The way Nicola Thorp was treated by her employer is against the law, but that did not stop her being sent home from work without pay." UK companies are allowed by law to prescribe dress codes but firms are not to discriminate against women in formulating the proper dress codes for their companies.

The UK's Women and Equalities Committee and Petitions Committee are urging the public female population to send in examples of discriminatory dress codes, hundreds of which have already made responses regarding the inflating issue.

Hundreds Arrested After Legal Highs Ban In The United Kingdom

About 500 people have been arrested since the ban on legal highs last May 28. Owners and sellers of light psychoactive drugs including nitrous oxide have been arrested.

The UK government confirmed that more cases of legal high substance abuse are in the courts. The drugs -- becoming the best choice for prisoners -- were banned as they are linked to the huge number of drug-related deaths in the country. As designer drugs, they are supposedly safe despite introducing similar effects cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy have on users.

A Milton resident has been arrested with a three and a half year sentence for possessing hundreds of nitrous oxide canisters during the Electric Daisy festival in the area. About 204 deaths were linked to legal highs in 2014, alarming the Home Office who had pushed for a ban on the use of the substances.

The Psychoactive Substances Act was introduced in May 28 that consequently shut down 332 “head shops” across Britain -- some having just stopped selling the drugs as their shops remained open. Offenders of the act could face long-term imprisonment of up to seven years.

Substances used in creating legal designer drugs are undisclosed, meaning they could be made from the same substances used to build original ones. Legal high drugs are still sold in the black market and the “deep web.”

What's Left For UK Privacy With The IPB In Place?

Yesterday, the United Kingdom's privacy probably died. If not, it's still taking deep breaths to alleviate fatal injuries as the government made blows against our digital privacy. The Investigatory Powers Bill (IPB) or "Snooper's Charter" will now allow different government agencies to procure information from ISPs who now have to keep customer Internet histories for one year before a purge. 

This is daunting and probably far worse than cameras looking at people everywhere.

The Orwellian dystopia is happening. George Orwell knew exactly what would happen in the near future. All it needs now is a political agenda. Oh, wait.

There is nothing left but scraps for every Briton's true privacy. While VPNs are a great solution, the government will find a workaround that would allow them to access your true history. Virtual Private 

Networks scramble your data and re-translate it upon arrival to a website. Before the website information arrives to your computer, it has been scrambled and once again de-scrambled by another server in the VPN.

Local VPNs can be shut down but offshore ones -- given their countries still have no privacy laws -- can continue to operate for foreign clients.

It's only a matter of time until we can see who the real "Big Brother" is.

Confronting Your Superiors After A Work Accident

The likelihood of a work accident is highly likely depending on your employment. This is why certain occupations have insurance policies before you even begin working -- such as being a chemist or working aboard a vessel full of volatile material.

But for common workplaces a slip-trip-fall accident could mean carelessness on your part. But if you know that a negligence took place, you could approach your superiors regarding the incident.

Talk To Them Privately

Employers have a responsibility to keep your workplace safe from harm so you could continue to work effectively. Approach your superior and tell them that a certain object, obstacle, activity, renovation or anything had caused your accident.

If you believe there is blame on your employer's side, talk to your superiors privately and suggest they keep an open mind on the subject at hand.

Tackle the Issue

Evidence is the key to knowing whether or not you have a potential workplace accident claim.

For example, you had a slip-trip-fall accident because of a substance spill in the restroom. Without someone to clean the restroom and put up a warning sign of wet flooring, the employers themselves are in questionable responsibility for your injuries.

Remember, employers need to make sure your workplace -- including restrooms -- are well-prepared and maintained.

Specialist Legal Team

If your superior continues not to mind your issue or dismiss you immediately, it would be wiser to work with no win no fee accident at work solicitors and also have them act as your legal representation.

The issue should not have any repercussions with your job as it is the employer's responsibility to ensure your safety and the financial costs and recovery damages involved.

UK Barrister Says No Chance of UK Retaining EU Rights

According to Prof Alan Vaughan Lowe QC, the Brexit's price is the re-negotiation of the UK's partnership and place with the European Union. He said the chances of EU citizens settled in Britain retaining all their rights for living, working and retirement in the United Kingdom after the July vote will be zero.

According to Professor Lowe, the issue was not because of the 1.3 million Britons abroad and 3 million EU citizens and immigrants living in the United Kingdom would be most affected by the 

Brexit but rather the people and government not sure of what to do next.

Limited number of rights are likely to remain according to experts. The right to own property and contractual rights is only protected by international law.

Prof Lowe said:

“If it’s been drafted with future citizens in mind, you would take a different view of rights that would naturally fade out with mortality,” he said.

The chair of the committee, Helena Kennedy, said the complexity of the so-called acquired rights was a concern to millions who wanted to plan their futures. Could any reassurances be given?

“Absolutely no,” Lowe replied. “I think there is zero chance [that the] … existing legal system affecting European nationals in this country will not change.”
