But mot too busy to get a comment posted on the "BBC Have your say"?
"Although English, I work in Brussels, at the very heart of EuroLand and get to see some of the lunacy first-hand. Do they want a Federal United States of Europe? You bet your boots they do! Consider Norway and Switzerland, not part of the EU but happily trading with it. Anyone notice any signs of massed panic amongst the (sensible) Norwegians and Swiss lately? Seen any big demonstrations in Oslo or Stavanger, Geneva or Zurich? Big banners reading 'Please Let Us In'? No? Me neither.
Stephen, Brussels, Belgium"

The biggest threat is that after imposing their European “values” to Britain, they would introduce something like the Belgian GEDAPO (in Dutch: the gedachtenpolitie-in English:the thought police-sounds like GESTAPO) to indict people who think otherwise. By that time even the song: “Britains never, never, nerver shall be slaves" might be seen as a “racist” song.
