Sorry Lonewolf, but it is a massive overreach to liken the EU to the Nazis. The EU is not an "extranational monetary regime", as evidenced by the fact the the UK retains the pound. The nations that chose to adopt the Euro were not forced down that road.

Far from being a 'malignant overlord', the EU is a democratic body which (if the British politicians are to be believed) we can choose to be a part of or not when a referendum is held.

The EU is far from perfect, but in its defence I'd say it is probably the reason why its members have not had a war since 1945.
