"The attorney general and solicitor general consider it is important to remember than an established principle of international law is subordinate to the much more fundamental principle of parliamentary sovereignty." Erm... excuse me but this is fucking bollocks

[Benedict Rodgers @br0dgers]

"The attorney general and solicitor general are confident there is a strong legal basis...which separate the rule of law into its domestic and international spheres." Tha's Brexit
