They are your values. The world has moved on since then, but hey bear baiting and slavery were once british values. You want to go back to those days, including raggy arsed kids starving or sent up chineys, phossy jaw etc from unsafe working practices etc etc? The sad part is so may would love to see such things as long as it dosn't affect them.

and ENJOY your sport

In Dallys (daily mail influenced) world, it's all the fault of immigrants that's we no longer refer to people formally or that GB rugby league hasn't won a World Cup

I would gamble that the Northern communities were far more close knit back in the day (when we last won the RLWC) and it's the influence of "outsiders" in the gene pool that has diluted some of the Northern grit. On this basis, Brexit, with all its "controls", might actually help, keeping Jonny foreigner out and sticking to a rigid diet of mucky fat and fish and chips.

I hope you are being sarcastic? Parliament make the laws and the courts make sure they are enacted. That is all that has gone on here. People wanted our democracy back. Well this is it.
