Now, the West is learning what it is to live under tyranny, how precious freedom is and how easily it is lost. Freedom of everything, including Patriotism.

We, here in Poland, went through it and in recent memory as well. Any sign of free Patriotism and Liberty were seen as enemy activity against the state. And a little further back (still within living memory of our older folk), our Flag, our Eagle and our language were Verboten or on the way there. Not to mention any sign of Patriotism.
I am sorry to see that of all places Great Britain is being forced to rescind its nationhood and Liberty. The French gave up on theirs a long time ago, but the Brits?

As a former inmate of the Global Workers' Paradise I offer a word of advice to my British friends:
Don't go there. Nip it in the bud. Once you let it start, it will prove nigh on impossible to stop. If you give any tyrant (and Islamonazis in particular) ANY portion of a finger they will cut out your liver.

And before anyone says that this situation is different, let me tell you this. Poland lost her independence for 120 years in the late 18th century under the Partition for several reasons. 1) inept politicians, 2) ineffective government, 3) traitors in hock to Russia, Prussia and Austro-Hungary and 4) strong political peer pressure and ostracism against those who dared to call enemies by name, point out responsible politicians and suggest changes.
Sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?! We've got 1 and 2. Change 3 to Islamonazis and 4 to political correctness.

WESTERNERS, PLEASE DON'T GO DOWN THIS ROUTE. WE'VE BEEN THERE AND NEITHER THE JOURNEY NOR THE DESTINATIONS ARE NICE."
