Taking Control argues that neither side in the Brexit debate really understood the European Union or what was involved in reclaiming Britain’s sovereignty. The EU is neither a supranational nanny state, nor an internationalist peace project. It is the means by which Europe’s elites transformed their own states in order to rule the void where representative politics used to be. Leaving the EU is a necessary but not sufficient step towards closing the chasm between rulers and ruled. This book makes the democratic case for national sovereignty, arguing for a radical, forward-looking reconstitution of the British nation-state through strengthening representative democracy. It is essential for anyone who wonders why British politics is so dysfunctional and who wants to do better.

One freezing July night, the cold, hard, truth hit author Shayne Hammond like a freight train: no one was coming to his rescue. It was then that he realized that he already had the power to change his life. Until that point, Shaynes story had been one of frustration after frustration, as hopes and dreams were taken from him again and again. His school years were chaotic. His family moved frequently, and the constant change quickly manifested itself in stress, aggression, and average grades. The son of a professional boxer, he asked his father to train him. But success as a student fighter did not immediately translate to success in the professional ring. His body and ego battered, Shayne stepped back from another dream, defeated, worn out, exhausted, and dejected. Looking for a fresh start to change his luck, he began a lifelong search for a career outside of the ring. Each venture started off with great excitement and potential, but eventually old patterns emerged. Not one to give up, Shayne dedicated himself to education, reading voraciously, digging deep within the Scriptures and other books. All it took to turn his life around was a little faith in himself. And on one fateful, frigid night, the epiphany he prayed for happened. In that moment of clarity, he understood the mystery of his successes and his failures. He thinks they may be the answers to your mysteries as well. Are you ready to take control of your destiny too?
