A Call to Arms

TFIAFC is depressed. The fact that we are in the middle of an election where the choice is between Tweedle Blair and Tweedle Howard seems to have something to doing with it.

This election then, like every single one that has preceded it, is irrelevant; the establishment will get in no matter who we vote for, and circumstances, as bad as they are, will continue to get worse.

I cannot completely agree, remembering as I do the 1979 election, which was what stirred my interest in politics as a child. Neither can I completely disagree, as the choice between serfdom and serfdom is not in the least bit inspiring. So what is one to do?

Hence if a national victory is precluded and defence a mere postponement of the inevitable, then escape must be the answer. Committed 'eurosceptics' must at long last coalesce and unite around a single, viable solution (secession, emigration, diaspora or something of that nature), otherwise we are not going to repeat the compounded failures of the past 32 years, because we are going to be lost without trace and utterly forgotten, long before then.

Having already emigrated, I have to let you in for some bad news. Compared to many places, Britain is still a place where Serfs are less unfree. There is nowhere to escape to. Secession is not going to be permitted by the powers that be. Whilst the future does indeed look grim and the chains around our ankles will get heavier, we have no other choice. Unless we are willing to fight for a future where we can be free to live our own lives, then we can be certain that it will never happen. Our soapboxes may be tucked in the corners of the internet and our audiences may be small, we may be preaching to the converted, but we have no other choice. Surrender is not an option.
