Reflections on the UK EU Election...

There's no reason England (sans Scotland if necessary) can't be like Switzerland or Singapore. I say "no reason" in the sense of economics and trade; in the sense of the UK political class "thinking outside the box" of course, they're stuck -- maybe Nigel Farage can effect some real change.

Scotland could have used its oil money to become itself a Singapore, but instead is a Lolland-speaking version of Vermont: an all white, totally socialist, and increasingly childless satrapy of the EU.

What really irks is Ireland, stuck snug up the EU anus. If I could have three wishes, one of them would be to take Connacht out of Ireland. Oh, well.

After World War II, I suppose the English-speaking nations should have formed some sort of Delian League Against the World, but that half-feline half snake FDR was a Commie tool, Churchill was thrown out of office, and General MacArthur made sure Australia was sidelined into irrelevance.

Muise, as the Irish used to say.
