    Obviously, we have a nomenklatura system to ensure the likes of me are giving the orders. And unfortunately, you'll be in a gulag, but I'll see if I can pull any strings to get extra cabbage.
    He won't be in any gulag I'm afraid. I have personally earmarked him for swift dispatchment down a well, top hat 'n all

    In fact, according to the Ashcroft Poll, the main reason for voting leave was so that "Laws affecting the UK should be made in the UK". That suggests a fairly firm grasp on sovereignty to me.

    Also people have indicated that they would be prepared to take a financial hit in the short term as a price to pay for independence.

    Ah the Ashcroft poll, my personal fave is "C'mon People (We're Making It Now)" with a nod to "Surprised by the Joy"

    What say you Ash
    'Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
    But different than the day before'

    'Met a dwarf that was no good, dressed like Little Red Riding Hood'

    'Now you're unemployed, all non-void
    Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd'

    I supported Verve in Oxford when they were just an NME band. Arrogant swine they were even then. Wouldn't let us share the dressing room, and we had to drink our rider in the corridor.

    Does that grasp extend to recognising that the ECJ only has certain jurisdictions (as an example they have virtually no impact on laws related to crime) and therefore only some of our laws are impacted by the EU? Do they also recognise that if you looked at the EU laws which do impact us you would probably find that the overwhelming majority are laws that we would have passed anyway?

    Or do they reduce a relatively complex debate down to a simple soundbite like 'we want control of our laws' that morons like Farage continually peddle?

    All of politics is eventually reduced to a soundbite, WES. As we speak, we can feel the hand of history on our shoulders.

    Arguably only a moron would have dreamed up the GDPR and rammed it down the throats of not only every business in the EU, but every business on the world that wants to trade with the EU. They call it 'harmonisation'. I call it 'Empire'.

    No, what they actually said was "That Mendacious Herbaceous fellow really is bit of a snobby spastic at the end of the day, isn't he?".

    While we have Boris promising £500 for every person because they raise the NI threshold (even though it is worth only £95 per person), so in effect, all parties lie for votes, always have, always will

    You don't seem to understand p even though that nice Mr Raab patiently explained yesterday when justifying the fake fact checking kerfuffle. Labour lies are such terrible lies that the Tories have to lie yet more to compensate and if that means faking Twitter accounts then so be it.
