British vales when I was brought up were arrogant: 'Britain is bes't, 'British made is best', all foreigners are second rate or in a lot of cases (eg the French) still essentially 'peasants'; paternalistic collections for missionary work in Africa; a winning GB RL team; addressing people formally; people having self-respect; the public services working; etc. I don't think Brexit will take us back to those halcyon days but one can hope.

They are your values.
The world has moved on since then, but hey bear baiting and slavery were once british values. You want to go back to those days, including raggy arsed kids starving or sent up chineys, phossy jaw etc from unsafe working practices etc etc?
The sad part is so may would love to see such things as long as it dosn't affect them.

In Dallys (daily mail influenced) world, it's all the fault of immigrants that's we no longer refer to people formally or that GB rugby league hasn't won a World Cup

I would gamble that the Northern communities were far more close knit back in the day (when we last won the RLWC) and it's the influence of "outsiders" in the gene pool that has diluted some of the Northern grit.
On this basis, Brexit, with all its "controls", might actually help, keeping Jonny foreigner out and sticking to a rigid diet of mucky fat and fish and chips.

Yep, Enemies of the State deciding British law - shocking.

Perhaps they could appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.

Don't Parliament tell legal what laws we require? Who do the courts think they are to instruct Parliament what to do.

I hope you are being sarcastic? Parliament make the laws and the courts make sure they are enacted. That is all that has gone on here. People wanted our democracy back. Well this is it.
