For all that, it gets me 4/5 of 5/8 of diddly squat. But it’s well to let them know at first hand what the grass roots think of their stupidity.

In a lot of cases, the very same MPs who are now saying that we are under the control of the EU are those who chose to implement the EU directives they are now complaining about. The EC may not be voted for, but it's left up to the elected members controlling the various nations within the EU to implement those directives.

The erstwhile empire has nothing to do with Brexit. It’s totally fanciful to say that a lot of Brexiters think they are heading back to that. To that extent certainly you are short of good argument.
