Some of Sadiq Khan's prominent cases are listed on his Wikipedia page. Personally, I'm extremely glad to have solicitors out there fighting cases of Police excess and racial discrimination (which most of his cases seem to concentrate on).
As for Human Rights costing government money, this would largely be avoided if the government simply ensured that it and its agents (i.e. the Police) behaved correctly in the first place and, in any case, seems to me to be a very small price to pay for living in a fair and just society.

I don't trust that those laws will remain untouched if we vote to remain. Brussels is already threatening to fine countries for not taking Merkel's migrants.[TW]Fox;29484241 said:
You're right, the laws won't stay the same, in fact they are already changing...a lot of countries are tightening the rules and extending the time required to be eligible, not relaxing them.
Oh and they are Merkels refugees, not migrants, quite a big difference....as the ones you are talking about are the result of a humanitarian crises.
That's not the point though, as once they pass the criteria and get an EU passport they could move here yes.....BUT....the point you all fail to answer is :-
Once they have passed the criteria, which is :-
Being resident for 5-7 years (increasing)
Becoming a citizen
Being able to speak the language
Being economically active
So once they have spent that length of time building up contacts, friends, working/running businesses, what is going to be their motivation to just up sticks and move to Britain en masse when they finally get their EU passport in Germany/France/Italy etc?
What logical reason do you have to think that would happen?
Benefits duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

He forgot to mention that in his future EU utopia all our energy needs will be supplied by pixie dust that only emits concentrated love as a bi-product.As far as just before his valid argument, okay

You're just too sensitive
I feel terribly sorry for anyone so uneasy they search posts for the most tenuous reference to colour, however out of context it may be to a racial slur. As I am sure you know, people's colours in the context of my post refers to "nailing their colours to the mast" showing their intent. I doubt even the most Liberal would ban me for that, not that it would really change my life Is it like Scientists For Brexit where the leader is a political history graduate and half the list are PhD students?
What on earth has that got to do with what we are talking about, oh I know, you have no answer when challenged so have to resort to posting like a numpty.
And people say they want a proper debate....
Let me put this simply for you :-
Why do you think they will move here en masse once they have settled in another country, spent years learning the language, building their new life and becoming economically solvent?

Racists are easy to spot, they're the ones who bring up race first.You're just too sensitive
Generally they're the one who use the line "I'm not racist but..."

Let me put this simply for you :-
I'm not saying they will, but when I see someone asserting that none of the hundreds of thousands unidentified migrants will ever be allowed to come here I feel compelled to say "hey, you don't know that".
Great, finally we got there!
So when you said you didn't believe me that there was no logical reason settled migrants would come en masse to the UK when they finally got EU passports, you actually meant to say 'I agree with you'

I've never been the one asserting what the future will be.
Is it like Scientists For Brexit where the leader is a political history graduate and half the list are PhD students?
They seem an experienced group of economists to be honest, but I'm sure a Uni student in a non-economics related field will be along shortly to tell me they've found a flaw in the groups predictions.

Not many people are....but you can using logical reasoning, rather than irrational fear, to extrapolate potential scenarios.
So every time the 'They will get passports and come here' crowd spout off, all we have been asking is what is your logical reasoning for this, based on the criteria of getting the passport and we have had 0 answers so far.
