I hear a lot of talk about my country getting its sovereignty back – as if we have been under enemy occupation for the last few decades and denied the right to vote or freedom of speech. We were never occupied during the war like western Europe and, latterly, eastern Europe by totalitarian regimes hell bent on enslaving the populace.
Given recent events, it seems that very little has changed since the days of the aristocracy when the hoi polloi were denied the vote unless they were male and owned land and property. Currently we have a prime minister voted in by less than 1% of the population, without the mandate of a general election who will ruthlessly and without consultation, implement an agenda that three years on, the majority of the British people fundamentally disagree with.
Furthermore, we are about to enact trade deals with a ruthless and manipulative political leader over the Atlantic who has bankrupted himself several times over and who will enact unfair agreements to our detriment. We are in the process of becoming the 51st state of America and governed by a sycophant and fellow narcissist who, much like Tony Blair, is flattered by overtures from Washington.
Perhaps someone could tell me how we are supposed to regain our sovereignty in these conditions? Answers on a postcard please.
