The UK lost its sovereignty the day it joined the EU.

Well, I shouldn’t say lost. The UK handed it over.

Look at the meme ban and link tax. The UK is submitting itself to that.

But if the UK has had enough, good on you.

I don't agree. Anymore than the US (or anybody else) lost their sovereignty when they joined the UN.

But it's not something I really have time to argue about at the moment.

I'll just rely on my studies of British constitutional law, and my decades of service to the Crown in saying I'm pretty confident in my view.

In actual fact, this whole debacle over recent months have proven one thing.

The core of the British constitution still exists - Parliament is still sovereign.

I wish Parliament hadn't taken some of the positions it did, but the fact it was able to force the Prime Minister into compliance is proof that that centre still holds.

The UK Supreme Court on the other hand... if I have my way, bringing that to heel will be the next step. But at least it is a British court, even if it needs to learn it is subservient to Parliament.
