BEagle. I am so sorry that you have given up on the country that you lived in and served. You are correct in saying the UK is no longer some isolated insular state. As long as we remain in the EU we are in fact no longer an independent and sovereign nation at all. We are an increasingly disenfranchised minor province in a federal political institution that is growing in size, ambition, remoteness and authority and failing in everything else. I hope you enjoy your future as a citizen of the EU and that the unelected, faceless, foreign bureaucrats who you are choosing to allow to govern your life will grant you and your descendants a secure and comfortable existence.
