Of course not; we could have said no to unlimited EU immigration any time we chose and told the ECJ to, 'Go take a running jump', whilst being members of the EU.
How misguided I have been!

There's rules to every club, but having sovereignty means you can leave the club be it the WTO, NATO or the EU.

We should not join any club that robs us of complete control over taxes, laws and border control/immigration. Cooperation, is a different situation.

I was talking about Lady Thatcher. I just can't see her holding a referendum on things.

The fact that we can leave these organisations means we have sovereignty.
We can never have full control over these areas unless we leave every organisation. eg membership of the WTO will prevent us having full control of taxes.

The fact that leaving the EU is so monstrously difficult demonstrates that our sovereignty has de facto been seriously impinged upon. One more substantial treaty and the right to leave the union may have become purely theoretical. Already the famous Gina Miller has complained that Art.50 was never designed to be actually used.

Since he has no role in government maybe the media ought to report what he said (if they're going to bother at all) making that point quite clear and not exaggerating his influence and extrapolating it to govt. policy.
I must say Farron banging on about the damage being done to the UK by HMG being undermined in this manner is laughable - he's been doing nothing but undermining the Brexit process ever since he lost the argument,

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Sometimes Andrew i think you deliberately ignore what people mean to further your point i never said trump was anti globalist i said the voters were and showed that at the first chance they had trump benefitted from that. He was a very large protest vote attractor for people to show their utter frustration and fatigue of a political type that has no interest in people only their blinkered agenda. I will now leave this thread as nothing new of any substance has occured and the constant retreading of the same old rubbish is getting more then a bit boring and i can do without the rambling doom and gloom constantly peddled by a few members of this forum.

I totally agree with you that Trump was a protest vote and that many of his supporters felt ignored by existing politicians.
What I pointed out was that multinational shares have performed well since Trump came to power so the theory you put forward "and if you doubt it slows anything just look at what's happened with the brexit and trump votes" seems invalid as nothing seems to be being slowed down.

Not by Evangelical Christians it wasn't. Nor from the Heartlands, who had seen manufacturing depleted

I have to keep an eye on you Bilderbergers I can't have you lulling us into a false sense of security, and then end up, down the line, believing that black is really white, now can I?

Too exciting for them. The Telegraph loved it especially with the comparison to the Falklands.
