Like I said, shouting down a well. Go talk to yourself for a while, then you might get answers you like.

Re: How did it do damage to our sovereignty. Can you name some specifics?
You have none then.

No I haven't because it hasn't happened, because we ducked out in time and we retained our own currency and we weren't in Schengen. Ask Portugal, Spain and Greece about sovereignty.

You claimed "it did the damage to our sovereignty" now you are saying it didn't because we go out in time and you are now doing a Freudian deflect by involving an unrelated subject

You guys really don't get it do you.

Look at what forum we are in. Read some of the bollocks that's been written here over the last few years. And you're expecting rational, factual discussion?

I've had my fun. Feel free to carry on.

How could the EU be called a superstrate? Furthermore, in 1988 Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher made a speech in favour of barrier-free access to the European single market. No doubt your parents voted Tory.

You really show how much of a numpty you really are.

what do you call a group of countries with a central government, political wing and army?

Oh sorry its an economic market that has absolutely no aspirations to become a superstate... Army?? what army????? do they only allow people with an IQ below 7 to be remainers?

Mrs Thatcher was fooled into thinking a single market was the end game like many others. I liked the idea of a single market until I realised what came with it.

OK, so if we're discussing reality and numpties...

Thatcher signed Maastricht, looking to tighten the free trade association conditions and simplify business dealings (but with exceptions like not joining Schengen, for example).

Blair, without a plebiscite, committed the UK to creating the EU federated state 2006 by signing us up to the revised EU constitution. That was what did the damage to our sovereignty.

HTH. BIDI

While we're being accurate, Major signed the Maastricht treaty (1992), which committed signatories to membership of a federal European state at some vague point in the future. You're also wrong about Blair, as the Lisbon Treaty was famously signed by Gordon Brown (you're a year out, it was 2007) behind closed doors, as even he realised he was signing away UK sovereignty without so much as discussing it in Parliament. I will always be somewhat thankful that for whatever reason (possibly known only to himself) he refused to sign the UK into the Euro.
