Something fundamental has shifted on Brexit, and the consequences could be a looming disaster for human rights in the UK.
You Might Have Heard…
Last week, Boris Johnson officially became UK Prime Minister. And he’s made no secret of his intention to have the UK leave the European Union no matter what.
So What’s at Stake?
Well, Boris Johnson’s government has demonstrated no recognition that a no-deal Brexit threatens the human rightsof people living in the UK.
Start with Food and Medicine.
Yes, a government’s basic duty is to protect its people’s health and well-being. But instead, the UK government is pursuing a policy that could disrupt medicine and fresh food imports. Additionally, Brexit has exposed dangerous fault lines in UK politics and society, with the murder of parliamentarian Jo Cox and a rash of hate crimes around the 2016 vote. No-deal could exacerbate this.
Surely the Government Will Correct Course…
Doubtful. Given the ideological hostility to human rights on display in Boris Johnson’s government, people are right to fear that no-deal Brexit could see their EU-related rights go up in smoke.
Ok, Then…Help??
If the British government won’t stand up for human rights during Brexit, parliament should step in.
