A government spokesperson said: “We remain committed to ensuring the retained EU law (REUL) bill receives royal assent and that the supremacy of EU law ends with unnecessary and burdensome EU laws removed by the end of this year.

“Once passed, the bill will enable the country to further seize the opportunities of Brexit by ensuring regulations fit the needs of the UK, helping to grow our economy and drive innovation.”

Among the 800 laws on the “to save list” are the working time directive, which protects working hours and environmental legislation.

Thought you would have realised by now Old Boy that the best way to look at this government's policies is to think of them as u-turns that are yet to happen. So yes, watch this space.

It's not the most damning regulations that are being withdrawn, it's mainly the irrelevant ones eg ones relating to our access to the pan-European criminals database.

You've cited the working hours restrictions and GDPR as being the most damaging to this country. They're not being withdrawn.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

Bullying is never something we should turn a blind eye to.

But at the same time certain people need to learn to not be so easily offended. Have I been disadvantaged in life due to my ADHD and Aspergers? Yeah probably. But what did I do? I got on with life, found alternative ways to do it and more importantly worked my arse off in the gym and improved the way I look and feel.

Some people enjoy victim status. Others of us prefer to fight back. Live life on your feet or on your knees. Your call.

I'm pleased to see that you now appear to have finally accepted that your autism and ADHD etc do affect your ability to function in the same way as non disabled people. It can be a bitter pill to swallow, so well done.

You now need to work on your incorrect assumptions and beliefs about other disabled people, particularly how their disabilities affect them.

Additionally, the belief that your own way of coping with your issues is the best or only way to deal with matters and that any other approach is wrong (along with the perverse view that this is somehow enjoyable) also needs internal consideration and/or discussion with mental health professionals or support workers.

All well and good while you are fit and healthy but life can be cruel one day, and I hope it never comes to you, something might happen that takes your coping mechanisms away, I wonder if you would find it so easy then

All of us are just one life event away from a psychotic or mental break
