    William Rees-Mogg wrote 3 books in the 90s, I forget the 3rd one but the other two were called “(The Best Time To Buy Is When There Is) Blood In The Streets” and “The Sovereign Individual”. The latter describes a Sovereign as someone who earns more than $200k per year (90s money, so more like £500k today) and uses their wealth and influence to live above the laws of any nation. This is the kind of “sovereignty” his son Jacob Rees-Mogg campaigned for, he’s literally laughing at all his supporters while he’s doing it.

  It raised trade barriers, so potentially businesses that weren’t competitive with their counterpart businesses across the Channel.

  If someone isn’t getting something from across the Channel, then they’re probably getting it domestically.

      They’re no longer citizens of a country which is a member of the EU.
