To seek friendship between nations for the prevention of war is noble.
To form military alliances between nations for mutual protection against a much larger aggressor may be regrettably necessary, if potentially risky.
To group together nations into a customs union may be very difficult; in practice, we see that this apparently simple objective has not yet been achieved, despite decades of promises.
To allow complete freedom of movement, residence, employment and social support of citizens of grouped nations despite the marked differences between their countries’ own social provisions is likely to result in serious and unpredictable consequences.
To abolish grouped national currencies and to replace them with a contrived currency on the scale observed is historically unprecedented and its final results can only be guessed at.
To force, by unscrupulous and undemocratic means, grouped nations to surrender their sovereignty to an unelected conclave of plutocrats; to replace ancient and hitherto satisfactory systems of justice with alien imposts; to develop an ubiquitous, terroristic and unaccountable secret police; deliberately to undermine the defence of individual countries in favour of a supranational force; to impose, merely for the sake of employing bureaucrats and generating spurious economic growth, countless pettifogging, irrelevant, insulting and sinister regulations; to interfere with the very national identities of member nations in order to facilitate subservience to the superstate; to bring about, by deception, lies, psychological manipulation and propaganda, the kind of society which should have died with the 20th century, a society of massive, general and undiscriminating surveillance in which all live in overwhelming fear of the state and its informers, spies, agents-provocateur and armed goons, is evil; plain, unmitigated, old-fashioned, none-genuine-without-the-signature evil, and all that is required for evil to triumph, as the philosopher says, is for good men to do nothing.
The superstate and all its manifestations are evil. Evil must not triumph. May it perish from the earth.
I do hope that this (written in accordance with my experimental programme) might serve to reassure the right trusty and well-beloved Trooper Thompson that I am not, as politicians might say, ‘going soft on superstatism’.
As for keeping powder dry I would suggest that those like myself who have been left powderless and musket-free by our own perhaps misplaced obedience to the law consider instead the more traditional feathering of cloth-yard shafts in the bowels of varlets; much quieter and cheaper, very effective if done properly, uses natural materials from managed timber sources, all parts recycleable, etc. etc. As seen on television and by appointment to Royalty. Caution: do not exceed the stated dose.
