Not challenging that you know the region, but you claimed (by implication) that the Wirral had one of the largest migrant populations in the UK, largest chinese towns, oodles of eastern Europeans, Spanish, Italians, etc., whereas you were really talking about Liverpool.
Which is not the Wirral.
You do recall I was talking about the Wirral and not Liverpool?

In this context sovereignty is the ability of the UK to govern itself and the UK Parliament being the supreme power. It's not a case of losing it, more the case we have currently already lost it and wish to regain it.
Sovereignty has been gradually eroded since minor points of the Treaty of Rome, the worst incident being the Maastricht Treaty. If you want to find out more, I'd suggest you google 'maastricht sovereignty'.
