#2 Probably the main reason Englanders want a brexit, and why won't be allowed one. If it were to exit, all these countries would consider the possibility of reclaiming their sovereignty.

EC is the expert on brexit though. Or Brexitnot.

#3 Indeed, this IS the main reason for Brexit, just as the righteous and wholly understandable fury at the illegal immigration Shitshow this side of the pond explains Trump's rise.

#5 You refuse to commit cultural suicide. That's against the law.

The law's an ass.

#8 Veterans of the former Soviet Union (FSU) and not keen on being forced into another totalitarian structure. I cannot blame them.

#9 ^These particular countries also have a better understanding of Islam - if only because they fought it up to 18th century.

#12 @Dron
Don't expect NEWS like this to be reported in any depth by the UK MSM.

#13 NEWS like this to be reported in any depth by the UK MSM.

Of course not. Who'll cover the latest biting tension growing between Meghan and 'the family' ?

#14 Great discussion about multiculturalism, not just in the EU, with Christopher Caldwell here and on Hungary and Orban in particular here.

From "Hungary and the Future of Europe":

...since there would not be enough imported Hungarians to man the Hungarian economy, it seemed [to the EU leadership that] Hungary would need to do what western European countries had done: open the doors to mass immigration from the Arab world and Africa.

On this, Orbán would not budge. As he saw it, the combination of Anglophone Hungarian businessmen and waves of manual laborers disinclined to learn the beautiful, impossible Magyar language would mean the end of Hungary.

Migration from the south [by Muslims], Orban believed, whether orderly or disorderly, would produce a special kind of country, of the sort that did not exist in western Europe until the most recent decades but which had been the norm in Hungary’s Balkan neighborhood until quite recently—not just in the Habsburg and Romanov empires but also in 20th-century Yugoslavia. Such countries, he told a group of Christian intellectuals in 2017, run the risk of having their culture wiped out:

"They will become countries with mixed populations, with a Christian element and a non-Christian element which has a strong religious identity. And if I judge the laws of biology and mathematics correctly, the ratio between these two elements will continuously shift away from Christianity and towards the non-Christian religious communities…. [H]ow this will end is mathematically foreseeable."

Orbán wanted desperately to avoid that. “[W]e want a Hungarian Hungary and a European Europe,” he said.

#15 ^ this is the thoughtcrime of the Hungarian and other leaders. They want Europe to be European. Hungary for Hungarians, Poland for Poles etc.

What could be more horrifying to the Global Grifters?

#16 That's just the thing. If Hungary is for Hungarians, Poland for Poles, Britain for the British, Germany for Germans... what will be for the globalist arbiters of Ewwrope ? The experiment will have failed. Oh noze !

#17 What could be more reminiscent of WW2 than Germany telling Poland etc. to accept their spillover folk?

The whole EUSSR reminds mind of the failures of National Socialist Germany.

#18 Trumpian awakening about the deep state in Brussels. Massive calls of racism and corruption by the offender. Sounds familiar!
