This is the kind of thing that Corbyn has been going on about though. Think you might have to revisit your opinion of the man.
Oh right so it's happening in spite of the EU? I thought one of the reasons being cited to be in the EU is protecting workers' rights. Don't; forget, we're all going to be slaves with our rights torn up if we dare to leave.

As for Corbyn, he's been anti-EU virtually ever since he was conceived. Given that he's never stopped playing the same political tune in every other respect, his sudden conversion to being pro-EU is IMHO a tad suspect. It wasn't that long ago he was saying the opposite about things single-stateside.

Unlike those for whom he appears a breath of fresh air, my opinion of Corbyn has been formed over a very long time, way back to the 1970's and 80's. It won't be changing any time soon.
