"Mr President, some of you in Europe may need an area of freedom, security and justice. We already had one in England under our Constitution, our common law, protected by such things as the presumption of innocence, habeas corpus, the trial by jury and under the Bill of Rights. These are now being superseded and overridden by the EU creating its own system of civil and criminal law.
Any British citizen can now be carted off to any other EU Member State purely on the strength of a piece of paper: the infamous European Arrest Warrant. All of these rest on the idiotic doctrine of mutual recognition, which says that any EU legal system is equal to any other EU legal system. This is obvious nonsense. The British Government had the opportunity to opt out of 135 of these measures in mid-2014; instead, it intends to opt into the 35 worst and most dangerous. Mr Cameron could have genuinely repatriated some powers; instead, he is going to hand to the EU on a plate powers that endanger all our traditional, centuries-old liberties and freedoms."@en1
