We woke up in a different country today. Alright, it doesnt look very different. The trees still seem black against the winter sun; the motorways continue to jam inexplicably; commuters carry on avoiding eye contact. But Britain is no longer a sovereign nation. At midnight last night, we ceased to be an independent state, bound by international treaties to other independent states, and became instead a subordinate unit within a European state.

The comments could have been taken from most any thread about our own usurper admin. It’s all there for any to see but we’ll not learn from their mistakes.
