"Our crops are failing due to extreme heat and drought, but Burnham’s answer is to add fuel to the fire? Drilling for North Sea oil will not significantly lower bills because it is sold on international markets, but it will fuel the climate crisis. " via Greenpeace UK

What gives a Government in one nation the right to remove EU Citizenship, legal protections & rights from another, when that nation had emphatically said No‽ There is no equality in that relationship. Only empirical subordination, imposed subjugation, expected acquiescence & demanded subservience!
