You are indeed going to be 'out' - and we, John, are going to stay 'in'. The polls here, run for extremely anti-independence clients, can no longer disguise the rise in the YES side.

However, one thing that puzzles me about you 'Brexitanians' is why your love for parliamentary sovereignty is expressed by cheering for a bill which will 'give' - itself a revealing word - your sovereign parliament only a vote on whether to accept a previously completely unknown 'deal', or the extreme alternative of seeking to gain membership of the WTO in order to trade under the harshest terms in the world.
Last night, your government voted down every amendment that would have 'allowed' - revealing term again - the vote on the yet to be negotiated 'deal' be be a real choice, rather than Hobson's.

Now why is this protecting, let alone regaining, the sovereignty of parliament? - or is that not at all what your lot meant by "taking back control"?
