Isser, echt? How does the EU challenge England's or the UK's (!) "sovereignty"? He said again that the UK is one country. Is it also one nation? Or isn't it basically the same as any other conglomerate of nations joining to be stronger(?), here of course with a kingdom in the background
The UK is a conglomerate of "countries within a country", so all of them have to give away a part of their sovereignty to the "UK".
Other than North Ireland the Republic of Ireland does not belong to the UK.
If brexit leads to a border around the UK, being erected because its "sovereignty" demands it, this effectively means a border between North Ireland belonging to the UK and the Republic of Ireland being a sovereign independent state. Clear as mud as what happens to the good friday agreement, but it is a result of brexit.
