Admittedly, I only spent about 30 seconds looking, but which exactly are EU regulations (or even, implementing Directives)? @ Ian, I’ve just looked at the laws that the Bill would want to repeal – nothing immediately jumped out as EU inspired, and certainly not all 20.

Both have shown themselves to be statist in action, as early commenter's have mentioned of Huhne, and Clegg with his support for the Young Foundation, Government borrowing, and what he sees as Britain's "European vocation". . I will reiterate again for the avoidance of doubt however, you will not be allowed to undertake the repeal of liberty stripping laws whilst you support the EU.

Both Huhne and Clegg included most of this, together with the idea of a single Freedom Bill to implement the measures in ne big hit, in their leadership pitches - before LPUK was formally on the scene I seem to recall.

It is clear that Huhne is only FOLLOWING, but he is playing to the crowd with this gimmick bill, as he knows that he will not be able to implement one jot of it without also undertaking to leave the EU. The EU will block every single item in Huhne's bill. The Libertarian Party is the ONLY party to undertake both the repeal of liberty stripping laws, but also to extract ourselves from the EU. Obviously the copy of 1984 received from LPUK has struck a chord with him, he even quoted our message on the book.

He *is* our Shadow Home Secretary and this is within his brief. He cocked up last week, big time, how he argues for this will be part of his recovery.

You know, someone who wasn't very recently in the media for restricting free speech? He's getting slaughtered in the comments section as a consequence of this.
