From the bestselling author of Europe: In or Out comes the essential layman's guide to what happens after Brexit. From four weeks' paid annual leave to cleaner beaches and rivers, mass immigration, budget airlines and leadfree petrol - membership of the European Union changed Britain, for good and ill. Now that the momentous decision to leave has been taken, we have to begin the long task of deciding which of these changes we should keep and which can and should be scrapped? Brexit will transform Britain's relationship with the EU, but this book shows how the EU also transformed Britain. From vacuum cleaners to VAT, Polish plumbers to paternity leave, this informative and highly accessible book takes the reader through the ways the EU changed Britain through its laws, court judgments, policies and red tape. Article 50 may well be invoked in early 2017, but the process of legal and constitutional disengagement could take up to ten years. Clearly laying out the options for our post-Brexit world, David Charter has produced the one guide that anyone interested in the future of the United Kingdom will need to read.
