Chris Patten Is Half Right

Here.

We will not be a sovereign state again at least until we restore the supremacy of British over EU law and require the latter to pass through both Houses of Parliament exactly as if it had originated in one or other of them.

But nor will we be while there are foreign forces on our soil, while we have one-sided extradition arrangements, while that power's legislation is applied here extra-territorially, while our foreign policy is conducted as part of the interagency process in Washington, while it is actually impossible for us to fight a war other than under overall American command, or while we have no independent intelligence capability.

Britain's incorporation into a unified Europe under overall American hegemony makes perfect, horrific sense, and is the stated aim of the neoconservatives on both sides of the Atlantic. It must be resisted without mercy, on both fronts.
