...but Theresa May has been fighting a long war against the ECHR I'm not often on May's side but I was in that case. How we got ourselves into the position where we were unable to expel a man as dangerous to civil society as that is beyond me. Yes, European courts are able to override British courts and British law, because the UK agreed to that. That's the mysterious element of UK's relation to anything European: the UK agrees to some rules and then complains about the consequences. It's not that mysterious. The establishment are very pro EU, the British people not so much. As for homemade jam: - what laws banning DIY? Are they UK laws? Are you sure it's the EU who mandated the precise letter of the law? At this point I don't really care. I get a bit tired of these circular arguments. If this really is just some parliamentary conspiracy theory to blame the EU for its own inadequacies then fine, let's take away the excuse. To bring the discussion back to sovereignty, we've never had a discussion in the UK about the issue with regard to the EU. I don't think you can deny that have ceded at least some sovereignty to the EU, otherwise we wouldn't have the institutions you have already mentioned. The question is: how do we feel about it? Do we think those institutions are better, worse or indifferent? You can't just take a country into a new political landscape and expect everyone to be just fine with it.
