The "EU Charter of Fundamental Rights"

Is based on the work done by the ECHR

The ECHR was the result of work done by the British post WW2, Churchill was big believer in it

The ECHR was inspired by Magna Carta

Magna Carta was one the 1st times rights where established in law

So why does @theresa_may want us out of something so plainly

British through and through ?

Our sense of fair play and belief in law and order

Stop May, or anyone else taking, looking at you @UKLabour taking us out of the EU
