Is Britain Losing Its Sovereignty?

“Back in 2015 king John signed the Manga Carta.” -Sky news 2016

[@kennethprakash1677]

Is it just me or did i hear him say that the Magna Carta was signed in 2015?

[@doctorbritain9632]

The ability to make war argument was bollocks. Yes any attack on NATO member requires a response but we can still go to war independently of NATO. See Falklands, Iraq etc. The whole defence against Putin deal. is also contentious. It's NATO that defends Europe not Europe. Europe had one attempt as a force and that was the Balkans where they completely cocked it up. The show then uses the only occurrence of UK winning a vote against ECJ. This is just propaganda.

[@jayedgardyson1920]

Not only was the Magna Carta signed in 2015 but Eire is still part of of the UK. Who knew? Thanks, a Sky News...

[@04051940able]

Of coarse not, we have guts.

[@GreatGatling]

"Back in 2015, King John was..." at 2:21...lol..

[@numchuc1]

800 hundred year difference he got messed up with!!

[@maxfriis]

I think he must be rotating in his grave in light of recent events so maybe it was not a mistake?

[@FileSmileAntiGGuy]

Yes.

[@andrewspeers4018]

We've lost our heritage ... and our country under the tories ......

#Brexit sovereignty? What sovereignty might that be? The Anglo Saxons were Germans, the Normans were French, the Tudors Were Welsh the Stuarts were Scots and George the 1st was a German that couldn't speak a word of English. haven't had sovereignty since 500ad and then it was for only 200yrs pre Roman Empire

[@funkybobblehat]

@@CM-um1ky but our parliament will have to mirror every law anyway. honestly there should be another vote and if there was there would be a clear majority cos people didnt know what they were voting for. Ford are the latest in a long line of companies bailing from Britain post brexit

Make America Great Again.

[@watchandshoot4437]

Yes it is. Tax the media 10 billion towards security and social care

[@kingguernon]

I hope the UK will continue its sovereignty

[@themodelrailwaymen3649]

There is a big gap here. The Bill of Rights Act 1689 moved Sovereignty from the Monarch to the people. Not parliament. It also said this. I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm. So help me God. This makes EU membership illegal.

[@anonimouse4678]

The magna says englishmen are born free for all perpetuity under god the soverignty belongs to each person not parliament or the queen and is not flexible The English constitution says england cannot be ruled from abroad

[@ravenhill-ofthe-pitchfork-1968]

i vote brexit. but i have a horrible feeling about tomorrow, it will be rigged to stay in.

[@ZulousOG]

funny youd oust yourself as a racist

[@JDS141NZ]

Magna Carta was signed when? I'm going to assume that it wasn't in 2015...try 1215. Should of caught that one sky news.

[@40rty7even4]

"Back in 2015......" ?????

[@raven8731]

UK is right European countries are ruled and command by Bruxelas

[@tim19962]

Raven 87 just no

[@brianrussel6012]

(guest) Listen from 2 minutes 17 seconds, he said, "..it wasn't always that way: back in 2015, King John met his barons......" Yes, slip of the tongue , but should have been corrected.....but wait, look, the chairs are still in the meadow ! 😊.

[@thegreatmonster]

LOL, up to his neck, but in all the mess he's in, he's managed to get himself a pint.

[@jameswarbrick9168]

Iam retired ,and have been a brexit believer so far ,but think that for the working class of england to stay in would be better,as the working class of europe in all those other nations would be a force much greater than being alone to fight corporate greed ,and this after all is what it is coming down to,as in all cases divide and rule has been the order of the day in england ,the trade unions have let the worker down they adopted the Blairite politic ,and forgot what their cause was, to defend the worker,what as a benefit would be as in Germany where the union has greater pull than uk ,is a great benefit to u.k worker because what the worker wants the worker gets and this would help uk.strength in unity benefits the working class.

[@zarathustra3976]

Since 30 August 2013 Britain is no longer Great. Who remembers why?

[@PanglossDr]

There is no such thing as Sovereignty in the modern world. In 1985 one man brought the UK to it's knees. How sovereign was it then?

[@monstersince]

the E>U> referendum to Brexit was won because British law should not be dictated through Brussels with no recourse to object

[@DanielHamill-g5r]

Magna Carta was 1215 bruh

[@kerriegrant6293]

the first old chap, needs to learn what the eu is and has done, of course weve lost sovereignty, silly old duffer, makes me ashamed of my own age group :-(
