Have you been following all those earnest live tweets from the Supreme Court, such as, say, this, from Remain QC Joylon Maughan?
Eadie: the 1972 Act does not even make the UK a member of the EEC. It simply recognises rights taking effect on the international plane.

No – us neither. Let’s face it, you would have to be not only a lawyer, but a constitutional specialist to have the faintest idea what was going on.
Rupert Myers, however, has done us all a huge favor by parodying the entire thing. He writes in ‘legal style’ language which makes it funnier. Here, side by side, are the serious and silly views of the Court:

To his credit, Eadie has serviceable Flemish, but Hale can't stop laughing at him and muttering about his pronunciation.
