When the transition period ends and as of the 1st January 2021 we are "truly free and independent of the EU and all the laws and rules they impose on us," which ones will be the first to go? Which ones were forced upon us? Or which ones did we vote against but ended up with anyway?

Is there a record of the process to invoke laws and how different countries voted?

@socrimeariver but you've missed the whole point of having low energy bulbs.

It means that you can't SEE the dust = no need to hoover ever. Grin

Removal of the laws that define how big a tomato must be, for example. Which will leave us free to put as many hormones as we like into our vegetables to make them bigger and shinier than was considered safe by the EU.

What rule is that?
Just that supermarkets across the UK sell everything from cherry to beefsteak
as do markets across the EU

and what hormone would one put into a tomato ?

The anti-tax avoidance directive.

It has always baffled me that this was never really brought up in the referendum and after. The timing of the referendum and the introduction of this directive were very close.

Sadly, I believe there will a diminishing of the HRA and maternity rights will be reduced, as will employment rights.
Things like WTD will disappear and the voice of business will become far greater than the voice of humanity.

though the government doesn't seem to be listening to business at the moment
